Pros: huge hits but solid material all the way through Cons: not a lot of variation with some tracks
In 1994, Epitaph band the Offspring made a huge impact on popular music. Along with Green Day and Rancid, they helped bring punk into the mainstream by infusing a little extra pop into it. They also broke records for most sales by an indy band with ...
Pros: Great songs with interesting lyrics and nicely played instruments... Cons: Some tracks sound alike...
My relationship with punk music has always been spotty at best. I’ve found some joy in the Ramones, Bad Religion and Sex Pistols, but it seems that more recent examples of punk are watered down. I do enjoy Green Day on some ...
Pros: Big hits, underground classics and fast beats in a consistent mix Cons: Just a few formulaic tracks
There are some discs that so revitalize and redefine a career that it's hard to envision anything else for a band. And in spite of the fact that The Offspring have gone on to cultivate longstanding success with such albums as Ixnay on the Hombre,...
Pros: Awesome songs, very catchy, lots of fun Cons: Some songs sound alike, some just aren't energetic
For any and all Offspring fans, and to anyone that knows anything about The Offspring, it's pretty common knowledge that the breakthrough and highest selling Indie Album of all time was none other than the huge Smash, which sold over 5 million...
Pros: great songs, awesome lyrics, Offspring still remains a great Rock influence. Cons: Ron Welty is outta the band...
“Smash” is, what I consider, Offspring’s finest hour. It measures up to “Ixnay on the Hombre” and their self titled debut on many levels that I cannot explain. This is my third favorite album by this humongous band,
Pros: catchy, energetic Cons: repetitive, lyrics are often bad
A friend of mine, fellow epinionator, sxejustin, recently wrote a review of a Ramones album that he said was the first punk album he got and was basically the catalyst that brought him into the genre of punk rock. Well, I too am a punk fan, and I too had...
Pros: Memorable songs that stick in your head nearly a decade later. Cons: Set the bar too high for their subsequent release.
When CDs slowly started to release cassettes, everybody had their first CD. You bought it the same day you got your brand new CD players. You brought it home, popped in the new disc, and cranked the favorite song or two with relative ease. Then you...
Pros: Good sound, powerful music, good lyrics Cons: Some tracks sound similar
Quick Facts: Offspring - Smash. Released 1994, Epitaph Records, Rock/Punk genre. Contains "hit" songs - Come out and Play, Self Esteem. 14 total tracks. Full Review: I don't like punk. I'm not really a huge "Alternative Music" ...
Pros: Catchy Songs, Original Lyrics, Good Hooks Cons: Not as radio friendly as their new stuff ( which isn't necessarily a bad thing)
Before the release of Smash, The Offspring were just a punk band who weren't really known outside of Southern California. This album changed all that. This album exposed The Offspring to the mainstream, and set them their way to being one of the top rock...
Pros: variety, dark, deep Cons: occasionally vulgar
In 1994, many things were happening in music. The death of Kurt Cobain signaled a decline in the grunge movement of the early 90s. Stylistically, bands of the genre were changing, and other modified forms of rock were beginning to take shape. But ...
Pros: GREAT for hi-speed sports addicts. Cons: Riding a board/bike/skis/etc. with a walkman on is dangerous. Hee hee.
Having grown up at a Ski resort for a great deal of my life, I was used to hearing Snowboard bands. Some of them caught my ears- Pennywise, Butthole Surfers- while others just made me say "eh" and walk away -Porno for Pyros.
Pros: Smash is the perfect Offspring album for people that need high energy in their diet. Cons: Like most punk CDs, it's too short
The Offspring in their prime. Before they became too popular for their own good. This is the Offspring that I love. High energy, non-stop, bad attitudes. This album got my attention shortly after its release with the song "Self Esteem". I could...
Pros: Great songs, The Offspring's best. Cons: The guitar riff from "Come Out and Play" always gets stuck in my head.
I recieved The Offspring's newest album "Americana" for Christmas two years ago. One of my friends was under the impression that I was a huge Offspring fan, when in fact on numerous occassions I had said, "Yeah, I guess they are all...
Pros: It is a great solid punk rock classic, great hooks. Cons: Dexter's howling sometimes gets out of hand, but it is too insignificant to hinder the album's greatness.
The Offspring released Smash, their third album, in 1994. This album sold over seven million copies, and it was the first album to hit the mainstream. This was the last album the Offspring released on the label Epitaph so it was the last album that...
Pros: Great songs, Good messages, Cons: It's how the Offspring became sell-outs, everything pretty much goes down-hill from here.
Smash is a great album. Those five words pretty much sum it up. Songs like "Genocide" "Nitro" and "Bad Habit" are some of the best Offspring songs out there. However, it was really thanks to this album, that the Offspring...
