Reviews (page 11 of 13)
There's nothing wrong with this album. Fun, fast, punk pop. I just really dislike his voice, and still remember Pretty Fly For A White Guy which was awful.
It was no Americana - but still a good sound
vocalist sounds like they just learned all the bad words and barre chords. enjoyable but probably won't revisit soon.
Made for the mosh pit, high octane fast grunge punk metal, lots to enjoy.
D'après ce que m'a confié Robert, cet album a été sélectionné dans le but de tester les fidèles du générateur. Le dernier morceau contient en effet un morceau caché absolument sans intérêt, intervenant après plusieurs minutes de silence. Les personnes qui ne l'auront pas écouté dans son intégralité et auront quitté leur plateforme de streaming avant la fin devront recommencer le générateur depuis le début.
Was hoping for so much more. Loved the intro tracks though can imagine that would've been a massive gee up to hear on first play in the stereo after purchase from Sanity.
Great rrrecorrd 4
Starts off strong, had lost me by the end. Definitely good angry kid music, pretty listenable.
This is great for what it is though honestly I would go with Bad Religion for largely the same sound with smarter lyrics and more interesting vocals (I watched Green Day OPEN for Bad Religion in the First Avenue main room in Minneapolis in the early 90s if you want to approximately date my old ass)
meh
Much more adherent to the classic punk motif than I had anticipated from hearing only their single output. A bit of an homage to nirvana vocally
A little all over the place, but that’s part of its charm. Every song wallops you from the very beginning! This has aged fairly well (and fortunately it didn’t make me want to break out some JNCOs) and still made me boo around my office….until my principal came by and caught me 🤦🏾♂️
Everything sounds the same to me.
Uff joya <3
Boo
I thought this was going to be death metal lol, but I was "pleasantly" surprised.
i love the instrumentals, but dexter holland is an awful singer
Not familiar with this album. Self-Esteem sounds very familiar --lots of radio play. Movies too?
I've heard a couple of their songs in the past, but never really paid attention, so this is my first real listen to their music. Energetic, fun, and super-tight. Somewhat similarity to the Meat Puppets, a band I really like, but with more edge and thrashiness. I like their sense of melody in some of the tracks. Overall, I like this album. Almost a danceable, or at least foot-tapping, version of punk-influenced rock. Some real catchy guitar licks, too. To me, they sound kind of like the garage bands I heard in the mid and late 80s, but at a much higher level of ability, craft, and discipline (in a great way). Fun stuff.
Was skeptical about this album, but the simple melodies and generic lyrics are easy to listen to
Doesn't strike me as something that ought to be on the list. Not that I hate it.
I keep getting just okay albums
it's good for drowning out thoughts with
Good one, this punk organic sound is a bless after all those synths on this list lol. I’ve never heard this one in full although I’ve liked Come Out and Play & Self Steem ever since I was a kid. Nice to hear the evolution that took them to Americana. (Also, nice that the hidden song is the same one)
Drooling 90’s right now. Lemme go get my j’nco’s for a relisten
E ovo se slušalo da, podsjeća na stara vremena, iza Becka. Također kad sam prvi put za njih čuo, bilo je negdje...6. razred na satu informatike gdje je jedan lik prebacio greatest hits na komp i preko windows media player se na repeat slušalo.
With more listening, there is more nuance to the singles where it's faux ska with high pitches shouting and slabs of guitars.
Reminds me of my youth - although not necessarily in a good way
Ensimmäisiä CD:ita joita omistin, ja tämä olikin koko lapsuuden ja nuoruuden lempparilevyjä Green Dayn Dookien yms ohessa. Vaikea arvosteltava, koska valitettavasti nostalgia ei riitä aivan kannattelemaan tätä levyä enää nykyään. Levyllä ei sinänsä ole yhtään huonoa tai ärsyttävää kappaletta, mutta huippuhetket jäävät aika väljähtäneiksi. Ennen kuuntelua oletin tämän olevan vähintään nelonen, mutta valitettavasti kolmonen on osuvampi arvosana.
pretty corny but fairly fun to listen to, i think a couple of the songs in the middle section could have been cut out. i never realized before how nirvana-influenced they are, it really shows on some of these songs. 6/10
You have to be in a certain mood to enjoy this album, otherwise it gets annoying. Loved some parts but could have been shorter or with more variety.
Pretty great punk album. Pop-punk, but with an agressive edge. Dosent have a whole lot of variety though, even by punk standards. Closer to a 3.5
Wasn't feeling it until Genocide, that was a banger. 'Come out and Play' and 'Self Esteem' were pretty nostalgic (or at least well know). 3.4?
it was eh some hits some miss
Come Out and Play is an all-time great, but I may be biased as a huge fan of both ECW and FMW.
A few tracks stand out but there’s not enough here to merit repeat listening. The production on the vocals is just awful! Sounds like he’s singing underwater!
I remember this as a better album than it is nowadays. It's a nice collection of proper punk rock songs. The problem is that there are so many such albums. It does not really stand out.
Sounds like system of a down. not necessarily my cup of tea but actually not bad. 3.5
Classic 90s punk, not super-polished, but a good album. I have heard a few tracks before.
Starts out really fun. The kind of Rock music that I like. Great drums, nice melodies driving bass. Really good in the middle not quite as strong g towards the end but overall a solid album 3 stars.
Ugh, obviously a pretty iconic band but started to all sound the same toward the end. Was not my favorite but worth listening to for the classics
Of course, self esteem is a banger. Unfortunately, on first listen, no other song comes even close to the coherence and catchy-ness of the hit. The narrator did not seem to fit the theme, which may have been intentional, but it was still a bit jarring. I like some punk rock, but I do not see myself going back to the offspring any time soon. The hidden track was nice, though
At points the vocals made me think I was listening to Weird Al. "Gotta Get Away" had serious Nirvana vibes. Overall not a bad variety of songs.
3.5
It was fun to revisit this one, even if it wasn’t revelatory. It’s about as straightforward as 90s Epitaph punk gets, with double-time drums and probably the same distortion pedal everyone was using. Some tracks really hold up well, especially “Bad Habit” and the singles, featuring memorable lyrics from future PhD Dexter Holland. There are some ska songs of the era that hold up well, “What Happened To You” is not one of them. The 2nd half in general is less memorable in general, and they ape Bad Religion more than I remember, but it’s still a fun listen.
Great nostalgia. Don't know if I would enjoy it as much if it was my first time listening today.
If you are into a activity this might raise your cardio. Ok for sure but not my typical cup of tea
cool but not my thing
This album is quite hard rock-y? Or something like that. I am not the biggest fan of the hard rock-y aspect.
Harder punk rock than I'm used to. Have to be in the right mood, but definitely has some good songs
Cracking album. Would have scored it 5 when I was 13 - 14, 4 when I was 15 - 16, today it’s good but not outstanding. A product of the age of the listeners.
It's fine, I don't understand why it is included in this list, but I listened to the whole thing. It's fine
I'm a big fan of the offspring's album Americana and I love some of their singles. This started slow for me but definitely picked up on the second half of the album where I geek they find their feet with bangers such as Self Esteem, Smash and What Happened To You embodying the sound of 90s America. With lyrics like "I'm not a trendy asshole, don't give a fuck if it's good enough for you" the Offspring cement themselves as one the teenage angst punk rock heavyweights.
3/4
Interesting!
Huge nostalgia throughout this album. Pretty sure we had this album on tape. Offspring were big when I was pretty young.
3.5/5 It was a nice hard rock album, I'll give it another try later on
it's like i'm back at john b dey. self esteem is a banger
Mixed feelings but that's what I expected. I think The Offspring are good at what they do, plenty of great guitar riffs, high energy and attitude, lots of good moments with backed up vocals that I like. But they fall into that quantity over quality trap where they make lots of high energy songs, but don't have enough variety in style and dynamics (the singer is pretty much shouting for the whole album). I think these guys and NOFX triggered a real 90s punk movement, which spawned many bands I like more, but I can't listen to too much of this fast-paced double-time drum stuff coz it slowly turns into a wall of sound and is a little too samey. I like this band a lot but this album in particular, not so much.
Good punk for it's time, but doesn't have the same impact as other artists in the genre.
Bit shouty at times. But generally good.
For Offspring it's a good album, especially cause it came out when I was about 15 and crazy times with fast beats
3 stars
I’ve never been able to get on The Offspring’s wavelength. I respect the idea of melding punk, metal, and grunge in theory but in practice it just doesn’t do much for me. It kind of makes me feel like I’m about to get bullied. Good hooks though
Oi boi, ten pick to opowiesc o tym jak produkcja i ludzie za nia odpowiedzialni maja wplyw na efekt koncowy, bo jak dla mnie to bedzie glwny motyw tego wydania offspringsow, bo przed tym przesluchem mam w glowie jedynie americane, ktore dosc wysoko bym ocenil, patrzac na to jak licznie zaludnila ma plejke jako dosc przystepny dla czlowieka punk, no i kilka popularniejszych trakow z nastepnych plyt, jak you are gonna go far, kid, ale czym w takim razie jest smash, jak dla mnie najlepszym okresleniem bylby tutaj protoplasta, americany ktora juz znam i mam z nia porownanie, skad taki szalony pomysl, lirycznie americana bardzo czerpie ze smasha, glownym motywem jest spojrzenie na swiat mlodego czowieka, przez problemy jego zycia, wiec narkotykowanie sie, wyobcowanie z grupy rowiesniczej, badz tez wiekszej, jak danej spolecznosci, potem leca problemy na chacie, jakies wymuszenia bitki, wiec zycie biednego dzieciaka hameryki lat 90 wypisz wymaluj, offspringsom przypisuje sie nawet sub genre punkowa, nie chodzi mi tym razem o pop punka, ale skejt punka, co nawet ma sens biorac pod uwage teksty smasha czy tez americany, ale jesli kontent liryczny jest podobny, to czemu nie sluchalo mi sie tego tak dobrze jak americany, z jednej strony mozna powiedziec, ze jeszcze skillsy nie wyskillowane, moze zbyt ostre punkowanie w porownaniu z bardziej przyjazna dla sluchacza americana, ale ta przyjaznosc jak dla mnie wynika glownie z masteringu jaki zostal zastosowany na americanie, ktora najprosciej rzecz ujmujac brzmi dobrze, natomiast smash posiada wiele momentow, gdy decybele na kilku sciezkach tworza mieszanke wybuchowa, ktora owocuje trzaskami w niektorych czestotliwosciach, najbardziej rzuica sie to w uszy na kawalku bad habit, gdzie wokale w niektorych miejsach trzaskaja na lewo i prawo, czy tez it will be a long time, gdzie najbardziej perkusyjne gitarkowe brzmienia koliduja w halasy, ale sa tez czystsze traki, i jakos mnie to nie dziwi sa najpopularniejszych kawalkami z plyty, wedlug spoti, mianowicie self esteem i come out and play, ktore laduja rowniez na mojej plejce, nie jest dobrze, co prawda nie jest tez zle, mozna powiedziec, ze jest srednio
Pues nada espectacular o particularmente llamativo, aquí si todas me suenan casi igual
Growing up, this is what loads of my friends listened to. It wasn't really my bag, but I suppose I could be described as 'pop-punk adjacent' - not a fan, but more familiar than the average punter by dint of exposure. I remember thinking Smash was fine at the time, no more, no less. And I think I was right. All quite samey, not exactly a breadth of tone or instrumentation to marvel at, but okay nonetheless.
Solid punk music, but it's just not my style.
Back in the day, I found the radio singles ("Come Out and Play" and "Self Esteem") fun but never really explored the album. The band is easy to categorize as pop punk, and some people like to throw the term "metal" into the mix, and to me they sort of blended in alongside quite a few other bands. I'm glad I checked out the whole album, and it was fun to go back and hear those hit songs within their context.
Eigentlich ne geile Band. Self Esteem absoulter Klassiker UND Bänger. Aber nix was ich per se mega gerne höre. Nichtsdestotrotz alles gut hörbar und das am besten laut. 3*
Well this really isn't my thing - but I didn't hugely hate it either, which surprised me. Also, cannot believe this was 1994, thought it was later than that. Feel it may have been ahead of its time
Pretty good punk, but no real variety or depth
Surprised a little bit by these songs - many of them seem more "serious" straight-ahead punk, as opposed to most of their radio songs which seem more like joke songs. I definitely enjoyed it. Not sure it belongs with the greats though. The hidden track reminded me of the old days, listening to 6 minutes of silence to hear some weird little ditty.
Surprised I've never listened before. Perfect expression of the 90s.
fun high school times
Come out and Play, Self Esteem Offspring are fun
I have a soft spot for this album. Hearing "Self Esteem" on the radio was unique since it was so negative, which wasn't common in the 90s on Rochester's pop radio. I've heard maybe half of this album's tracks? Kind of reminds me of the Ace of Spades album by Motorhead, like all the songs kind of blend together but they got a thing going on and they are nailing what they are aiming for. Fast and loose. Would have been fun to listen to them in a dive bar before they got popular! I'd rate it higher than Motorhead since this feels like it aged better.
Not bad. A couple of old cool get fired up songs. Solid entry.
A 90s grunge rock band. Not the best, but not bad.
Generally like The Offspring. These songs were all new to me (total lie lol I just didn't recognize track names). Very nice album. Good driving music.
Classic grunge
Nice
was okay on some parts, last song smash is meh
fun, would have loooved this at 14
12/30 Fun, Punk rock album.
Love the energy on this album, but his voice is on the whiny side. Favorite tracks were Come Out And Play, and It'll Be A Long Time.
Sounds pretty much the same with every track, and not a fan of the hyper fast punk with the pained vocals
I can see how someone who is a fan of pop-punk could really enjoy this. I am not and so this was a painful listen. It's well-done for what it is, though, so it climbs its way to 2 stars.
not really my thing
I find the Offspring just boring. Sorry.
Heavi Metal, Schöne Ideen aber sehr einfach.
Generic, derivative and tiresome. 'Self Esteem' is great though, which just shows that even a broken clock tells the right time once a day.
It's enjoyable, energetic, loud and a lot of fun. But it's Punk in the way that MacDonald's is food. I enjoyed it as a rock album. But put it up against the great punk albums and it's flaws start to show. It lacks the rawness of X-Ray Spex, The Anger of The Clash, The Fury of the Pistols, The Purity of The Ramones,The Intelligence of a Patti Smith or Gang of Four. Cos-play Punk
90s pop metal. By 2030 this will be grocery store music.
Squillion selling 90s pop punk album. It's OK isn't it? I mean they're quite catchy little numbers and whatever, not very original though.
Enjoyed the intro and outro voiceover but the music is forgettable.
I love that Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology and a successful hot sauce, but his voice is so bad. It's a one-trick pony voice best enjoyed in single form, not on a full 45-minute album. It flattens every Offspring song into essentially the same thing. I have a nostalgic soft spot for a few of their hits, and liked a handful of tracks on this, but it was otherwise a tough listen. It's bad news when an album is so samey that two minutes of ska-punk are a welcome break.
This high-volume punk rock is not really my thing. I do remember having a CD of their Americana album at some point though (not sure where that came from or went) but enjoyed the singles off it - “Why Don’t You Get A Job” and “Pretty Fly for a White Guy” - which were a bit different to the sound here. This was an energetic sounding offering however despite almost the same drum beat throughout and that terrible voice shouting at me! Quite enjoyed the vocal announcements here and there too as a welcome novelty diversion.
Wooooooaaaaahhhh ooooooo ooooooo hey hey oooooooo woooooaaahhhh honestly I’m not sure I even used to enjoy this record when I used to listen to it on loop in my youth. However, come out and play and self esteem are still okay! Holland is by all accounts a very clever dude so I do wonder a little if this entire band was just a way for him to make some money (many of the songs are clearly rip offs of other songs and The Offspring really did hop on the ‘skate punk’ band wagon). However, as they are using that money to fund AIDS research and support Amnesty International I can live with that.
All energy no depth
i think sam thorn steered me wrong here
There are few singing voices uglier and shriekier than Dexter Holland’s. He sounds like a caged animal being periodically pistol whipped with a cattle prod.
Some notiable favourites, some that sound familiar but aren't, but overall an average album
You had to have listened to this when you were 14, or else you're going to get nothing out of it.
I hope this list is well represented with great punk records, because this isn't it. Yes, the band is big, yes the songs are big, but the music is ok and the lyrics are nothing to complicated to understand. I loved Keep them separated when i was a teenager, but I also liked Americana (their next album), and I can't stand any of the above anymore.
It’s… fine. I really wasn’t a big fan of post-Nirvana music of this ilk back in the day. At best, this is now mildly nostalgic of my teenage and college years.
Lots of shouting. Very long final song with like 4 mins of silence.Which wS like theatrical but strange.
2/3
Sounds all the same
The singles and at least one other song are good (if not just engrained in my memory), but holy cats does this get repetitive. They're like the mid-90's alternative AC/DC
En su estado más interesante es siempre repetitivo y poco innovativo. Algunas canciones me las salté, un álbum que realmente no disfruté. Al menos una canción ska que tienen fue algo agradable, lo punk, nada para mi. Cambiaré de opinión en caso de escuchar otro álbum o re-escucharlo.
This was a very confounding listen for me. It did feel like it was going to be this countercultural ska-punk album that did not quite get there and was going to be quite dated by this point but for however basic it felt at times it does just work I guess. It was a solid listen. 7/10 [SWAP]
bitno da ljudi seru da je popis tobože pun loših britpop albuma (zapravo je jako malo pravih britpop albuma uopće na popisu), a u stvari ima hrpa generičkog američkog "žestokog" roka, u biti dosta pičkastog, onakvog s upečatljivo američkim (čitaj: rednečkim) vokalima, a s instrumentalne strane kvazipankerskog i nazovigrandžastog... ova srednja žalost od offspringa (koju su mi otprije bili poznati isključivo po poluplagijatu »why don't you get a job«, koji je okej pjesma, ali ništa posebno) spada upravo u tu kategoriju: pjesme koje zvuče kao amaterluk koji svira na izborniku fleš igrice »punk-o-matic 2« (koju bih mnogo radije igrao nego slušao ovo...). »self esteem« je okej, ostatak u potpunosti zanemariv uza sve to i omot je dosta ružan
Lots of yelling, a bit too much as it goes on. Main hits are great though
I would give it 2,5 if I could for self esteem
I couldn’t get through this quickly enough. The 90s version of pop-punk was something that I was able to largely avoid. I knew it wasn’t for me but I understood why it existed and if Blink or Green Day or Sum 41 came on the radio, it didn’t bother me too much. This lot though almost always annoyed me. I had never heard a whole album before and although I felt tolerant for a while, it didn’t take long before I was flat out sick of it. Lyrically they seem to have a message I can get on board with, but all too often they sail a little too close to glorifying that which they aim to decry. I have written plenty of reviews in which I show my full support for music that is less than sophisticated. I reiterate now that I am no music snob, but I simply don’t like the way The Offspring do what they do. They strive for base and make it. The singing is just awful with a single gear and it’s an irritating one, and the backing vocals are, with barely an exception the most annoying thing in every song. You may wish to accuse me of “not getting it” or “missing the point” but I thoroughly get it, I lived right through it and I completely got the point from the moment I heard it. The only thing I never found out was if The Offspring “got it”. Were they in on their own joke? (making the worst of their chosen style of music) or was their self awareness so poor that they allowed the band’s success make them believe they were good? On the evidence of this album, they are not good.
I was about 9 years old when Smash was released so I don't remember the hits from 1994, but summer 1997 was all Offspring. Me and my friends were really excited about "All I Want" single and "Ixnay on the Hombre" album so eventually one of us also bought Smash. After that it was all "Naa naa nan nan naa! Naa naa nan nan naa!" for a couple of months. The excitement lasted for a year or so, but the irritating and quite shitty hit songs of "Americana" cut it short. One of those albums that I remember from start to finish. Both stars are for nostalgic reasons because nowadays Dexter Holland's whining and howling is hard to listen to.
I didn’t know that all these songs I hated were by the same band!
Better than I thought but didn't save it to my collection
Noisy
As a teenager I remember being told that this was a great album to listen to if I was ever angry. I never felt the need at the time and now perhaps I’ve lost my teenage angst but this all just sounded like a bit of a ruckus to me. Do enjoy some later Offspring stuff but this didn’t really hit the spot.
Weird one
really not a fan, most of it sounded the same to me
I am familiar with The Offspring and currently have 7 songs liked by them on Spotify with 3 from this album - "Got to Get Away", "Come Out and Play" and "Self-Esteem" - which were all the big radio hits and are fun songs that I still like to this day. I'm excited to see what else I missed on this one that weren't the radio hits I also like "Nitro (Youth Energy) and "Bad Habit" - but the rest of this is just sorta so so and I don't need to hear any of the rest of this again. Liked songs on Spotify: 5/13 (I'm not counting the first track which is just a guy talking) Rating: 2/5
Some classic songs
Not great for me
It doesn't get close to Nirvana . Wouldn't dash out to buy or listen to this again .
I used to have this album. I'd bought it because Self Esteem was on it. I remember that I wasn't a big fan of much of the rest of the album.
No. no nono. no m gusto
A skint man’s Green Day, without the songs or the subtlety, all just a bit shouty.
not my tipe, es un rock muy rock 2/5
Unpretentious, but I've expected more of this album.
I listened twice and can’t even recall a single song
it’s alright, very 90’s
It was not fun to listen to. And jt was verry boring i had to fight to come to the end of the album because its all the same.
Dont love the 90s rock
I didn't like them at all in 1994. Let's see if I feel differently now! Ok... nope, don't like them. Self Esteem is alright, but the rest is really not for me.
I have colossal respect for Dexter Holland, the Offspring's singer, for going back to academia decades after abandoning it for music, and doing a widely-cited PhD in molecular biology, which happens to be my field. What a dude. But that doesn't mean that he can sing. His voice rasps through this record like a cheesegrater. It's also painfully derivative stuff, that sounds more like 80s metal than 90s punk, except without the panache or sense of fun. But still ... what a dude.
Not really for me, wasn’t awful but wasn’t good.
290/1089 This sounds just isn’t really for me, it’s a bit meh bc of that, like it’s fine but idk i’m just not that into it. I thought I’d gotten quite far in and discovered i was only on the 4th track and most of the album felt that way to me unfortunately i liked the guitar “outro” of Smash a LOT, then it just goes into a very long silence (presumably bc of the secret track but on streaming it feels a little egregious) fave: Self Esteem 34/100
montonous
like the vibe, but not something i listen to
A bad punk album that encapsulates some of the weaknesses of the genre in its repetitive sound, whiny vocals, and vapid lyrics. Feels like a cynical attempt to muscle in on the hype of Nirvana and Green Day. That means that the sound is fine enough to hang on for 2*, but this isn’t worth your while.
This was all rather run-of-the-mill pop punk with nothing particularly original or engaging. The best track by a long way was ‘Come and Play’ which had a nice surf guitar riff, but other than that it felt like a rehash of what’s been done before, which is often a problem with newer punk releases.
Pretty underwhelming. It isn’t exactly a terrible album (the instrumentals and production are decent), but it is to my ears pretty generic punk as had been done many times before. Almost every song sounds the same, with a few exceptions. ‘Come Out and Play’ was a bit more interesting with its surf-rock guitar part and was the best track, while ‘Killboy Powerhead’ was a ska-punk cover, although in that case it was different but rubbish. Other songs really do sound like Nirvana rip-offs to me, especially ‘Gotta Get Away’ and ‘Self Esteem’. The whiny, irritating vocals cemented my 2-star rating.
Most of the top reviews seem to be from people who were of an age with this album. I wasn't even born yet. Ergo, there is not any sense of nostalgia for me. I find this album annoying more than anything. It doesn't even have any of the hits I recognize from the Offspring (though I've heard Come Out and Play on 90s playlists. The bass is pretty sick on this one). I'm not sure what kind of enjoyment a person from my generation, raised on 00s and10s pop music, would find in this.
Hm ok jsp si c celui avec pretty fly et jsp si je le finirai haha mais sûre. Whatever
Brings back memories, a few good songs.
Offspring sucks. I'm putting that out there so it's clear where I stand as the album starts. Pop punk is one of the worst parts of the 90s. Greenday sucks and Offspring rode their "punk" coattails to fame. Nothing like a stupid sketch to open an album. Nitro (Youth Energy) is better than I wanted to believe these guys were capable of. Bad Habit and Gotta Get Away were both big hits and they are terrible. The album tracks are superior to the hits. Could do without the updates from the opening sketch voiceover guy. Come Out and Play is terrible. I have no idea how this got popular. Pop punk and Nu Metal, if it weren't for hip hop and grunge the 90s would have been worse than the 80s. Self Esteem was the best of the singles, but that is a really low hurdle. Killboy Powerhead is as bad as the title. And the ska influenced What Happened to You? reminded me that ska had a comeback in the 90s too. What a terrible decade. A ten minute closing track? No thanks. And we get the bookend with the voice over guy again. The hidden hidden track. Three minutes of silence so you can't figure it out from hitting skip track...is there nothing the 90s didn't ruin? Five minutes of silence...unacceptable. Finished with a Middle Eastern instrumental of Come Out and Play. Was it worth the wait? It was not, Other Barry.
It's not that this is 'bad' per se, I just have v little interest at all in pop punk or any of its iterations. Give me the real thing or fuck off
Man, this is the same old repetitive and boring Offspring again. While listening I mostly felt nothing — just kind of numb and a little disappointed. The riffs are basic, the choruses are shouted the same way every time, and the songs all blur together into one long, predictable punk-pop blur. Nothing here feels fresh or interesting at all. The only good thing about this album (and the band in general) is how it instantly takes me back to childhood. It makes me feel like I’m playing Sega Crazy Taxi again — windows down, cruising around, that dumb nostalgic energy. That part is genuinely fun and comforting. But once that nostalgia wears off, there’s really not much left. “Self Esteem,” “Come Out and Play,” and “Gotta Get Away” are the only ones that still kinda work because of the memories attached to them. The rest? Completely skippable. It’s not terrible, but it’s nothing special either. If you want that 90s skate-punk nostalgia hit, throw it on for a quick trip down memory lane. Otherwise, there are way better albums from that era.
Love the pacing. Great momentum throughout. Not my particular cup of tea, but in the context of the mid-90s, I have to imagine this was like grabbing a live wire. I had "Come Out and Play" in my brain like anyone near a radio, but didn't really remember how futuristic it sounded. Overall, the album seems to be both a continuation of, and significant portender of significant aspects of rock as a genre.
Remind me again .. is the book's full title 1001 Albums of Modest Interest to Those So Inclined ... ? The official description of this album compares it to Green Day's Dooky. Some people whom I respect like that album, but having been trapped in a car for like five hours this one time in the mid-late 90s with a guy who was really into Blink 182 and Green Day and stuff ... my generosity of spirit is gone, leaving only rage and hostility. Plus which, all these semi-punky California boys with their cleanly produced, aggressive schlock ... again, hostility. Thumbs down. And I really mean it! I do remember the lead single, Come Out and Play, from hearing it on the radio back in the days in question. It's pretty good, I have to admit.
Nothing unexpected here. A pile of songs that set my teeth on edge, and "self esteem" which didn't.
When I think of all the great records on independent labels it is a bit of a shock to learn that this is the best selling independent album ever
Okay album
pas trop mon style
Eh
I was expecting to like this more. But the vocals lacked something for me at the beginning.
Some is okay, much is alternately monotonous or irritating.
It’s no more than a 1 star album all the way through but will give it a bonus point as Self Esteem is a cracking tune.
This was a fun and energetic album to listen to. I really liked the guitar playing in a lot of the songs. Come out and play is an absolute banger. Despite all this, I don’t really see myself listening to this album again
This is okay I guess. It just doesn’t do much for me
2.5
I just don't like The Offspring. I can't say it's a 1star album, cause there is some half-decent alternative stuff, but man. I hate "Self-Esteem".
4/10 Favorite: Self Esteem
Edgy
Interesting, not for me. Nice intro and outro. 4.9/10
This is just too sanitized and clean to me, but honestly better than I expected. So not sure, probably 2 or 3 stars, if I am feeling very positive today.
Favorite songs: Come Out and Play (Keep ‘Em Separated), Self Esteem
It’s fine. The hits are fun but it’s all very uniform and not exactly groundbreaking
I have to be in a particular mood to enjoy this one cover to cover, and there's better options when I'm in that mood.
I can tell that this is a good genre album, but it's not my typical favorite.
Four stars for the music. Minus two for Dexter's voice. I've never been able to listen to The Offspring, his voice just makes no sense for this type of music.
I didn't like it for the most part, but I also didn't think that it was absolutely terrible. I did like the song What Happened to You? and could see myself listening to that one.
niet mijn muziek
Not my cup o'tea
Has some fun songs but not really an album I need to listen to before I die ngl!
Too loud for me
Pass.
not for me
Nah. Not for me (except for the bassline on "Self-Esteem"). Has a lot to answer for in terms of the godawful unlistenable "pop" "punk" that followed, but at least that one song I really hate isn't on here.
I don’t love rock
I have no idea why this band became as popular as they did, Because after listening to this I can honestly say that there's nothing that makes them stand out from nearly every other wannabe pop punk band of the era that was trying to ride the coattails of Green Day's success. There are a couple of songs on this album that stick out for sounding different than the rest, but the singer's voice is just so grating that it ruins pretty much every song.
Album Review 085 Smash by The Offspring (1994) Rating 1.5/5 Call me cynical, but here we have a band whose main songwriter is clearly a very intelligent person (PhD in molecular biology no less), but decided to cash-in with diluted pop-rock cos-playing as punk. Sure, the drumming is powerful and fast and the distorted guitars are there, but Smash is lacking in any sort of spirit or substance. It’s performative, entry-level noise, manufactured by a 30-year who's target market is middle schoolers with faux anger and a skateboard they don't know how to use. And the lyrics are crap too.
Being into a lot of Epitaph/Fat Wreck at exactly the time that this was blowing up, you would think that I love this record. This exercise would be the first time I’ve ever listened to it all the way through. Most of these have not aged very well and the hits just benefit from being super familiar. Plenty of other bands and albums within range of this genre that are much better and probably deserved the success these guys had.
Post Green Day alternative rock was weird. Labels tried to make punk a thing. Not sure that leaning into Epifat bands was the right decision. This is another part of the list where Dimery made some choices. If he wanted to ad SoCal punk to the list he could have done better by putting Suffer or Living in Darkness or Milo Goes To College or the Adolescents Blue Album. Anyways this is SoCal Epifat alt rock that ripped off Agent Orange and kinda ripped the Breeders. Not essential.
#292/1001. I think Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic nailed it by saying: "solid record, filled with enough heavy riffs to keep most teenagers happy". For me Offspring are just one another offspring of Bad Religion.
This was fun. I'm glad to have come across this one
I'd encountered the Offspring in the early '90s via compilation that had a song of theirs. It was bad, so I was baffled when they suddenly started getting a ton of airplay on MTV in 1994. My bafflement continued, even though I could recognize the catchiness of "Self-Esteem" (which I heard roughly 3 billion times 1994-1995). I never listened to this album, and it's exactly what I expected: by-the-numbers BroCal punk with a few novelty flourishes. For a smart dude, Dexter Holland has nothing to say, and his double-tracked vocals are grating. I'm clearly in the minority though, because this album sold a zillion copies.
I used to LOVE The Offspring, then I turned 15.
I do quite like The Offspring, but I dont think I could ever describe them as goodd. They also really shouldnt be in this list.
Was okay first but got so repetitive
classi c for 13 year old boys and competitive hot dog eaters. if you broke your front teeth skateboarding or suffered a non athletic-related CTE, you probably heard this one already 6.7/10
In one ear and out the other
Whatever
Poppy alternative that gets boring
At times this band sounds like a polished punk band that’s been together for a decade and at other times they sound like teenagers that just figured out how to play and want to be angsty. Take that for what it is. But overall, I just couldn’t get into it. Didn’t hate it, but I didn’t like it either. I’m more su surprised that Self Esteem on this album has more streams than Pretty Fly For a White Guy
Punk Rock Chaos
..
No es mi estilo
I'm not 14 anymore. :(
Self esteem and smash were good, everything else sounded the same
not terrible but why so shouty & whiny
Great for nostalgia, still not much of a fan of the songs that’s aren’t ’come out and play’ and especially ‘self esteem’
It's bog standard for teenagers with long hair and smelly armpits, I just got too used to the vocalists groaning manner (probably derived from Kurt) to the point where it becomes draining. Not that consistent of a tracklist for me and the intro and outro skit is a little cringe.
🎧Good punk rock is great. Bad punk rock is horrible. This pretty firmly in the latter category.
It's... okay.
I vaguely remember really liking The Offspring when I was younger. I no longer do.
Is "mainstream punk" an oxymoron?
Offspring. Punk for early 90's 14 year-olds. I suppose I was too old for Offspring when they surfaced. I certainly wasn't into their brand of fast food punk. I'm a lot older now and a lot more forgiving. I still don't like Offspring, but I understand the appeal. And this even holds a couple of decent tracks. Gotta Get Away is really good. Come Out And Play still stands up and is a rare Offspring track I always rather liked. Good fun. Self Esteem is a decent single. Not one of the 1001 albums I personally had to hear.
Individually, I like some of these songs. The songs all sound exactly the same when listening to an entire album though.
Meh. What a tepid album. I was curious if it's inclusion meant it might be better than I anticipated, but no. It didn't speak to me when I was 17 when it came out, and it doesn't speak to me now.
Pass
This was an interesting listen from my post-college years. Seb and I used to lift weights to this music. Kmart grunge. Clever ideas about road rage and school shootings but not something I choose to seek out these days. I am always happy to hear The Offspring if they are on the radio but I would not choose to put this album on the turntable. I also wonder to what degree the self-pitying low self-esteem of this era led to the emo stuff about 10 years later? A highlight for me was the road rage tune Bad Habits - found that funny and enjoyable. All this said, I am going to be more assertive in giving 1 or 2 stars and keeping room for music that appeals to me in the 3 to 5 range. Learning how to calibrate here. If I could give it 2.5 I would but since I have to choose on a whole number I plan to grade down a half point so this is a 2 for me.
Some bangers, but I hate the narrator guy. Really took me out of the listening experience
A lot of the same. I know some Offspring songs and obviously they are super influential, but this just doesn't do it for me. Dude's voice is rough too
A lot of great songs on this record, but if I make a list of 1001 albums, this ain't on it. That said, I forgot how good Gotta Get Away is. What a banger. The whole record takes me back to playing Crazy Taxi on Gamecube. Bonus tracks are also pretty funny in the streaming era
the inclusion of this album raises significant questions about the creation of this list. what about this album qualifies it as music that I must hear before I die?? especially considering the wealth of alternatives in this genre that relegate The Offspring to lower tier? I didn’t think this record was bad, but it doesn’t introduce anything new, nor does it push existing sounds to exciting new places. run-of-the-mill.
Not my fave though i think i liked not the one, hard to say though. Just didnt feel like it did anything all that interesting although as i say that it appears there is 6 minutes of silence at the end of the last song… what’s going on here do we think is this supposed to be a part of it? Intriguing
Can’t finish it but also don’t absolutely hate it. Brought back fond memories of listening to the Limewire rip of Come Out and Play on an iPod nano, at least. RYM: N Saved a song: N
“Music soothes even the most savage beast,” and Smash mostly chooses to pummel that beast into submission. Released in 1994, Smash sits squarely at the crossroads of punk urgency and post-grunge abrasion. The album borrows heavily from the era’s DNA: palm-muted, Nirvana-adjacent guitar riffs; shouted vocals that flirt with melody; and a lingering influence from ’80s hair metal in its muscular chord progressions and solo phrasing. The production is clean but aggressive—compressed guitars, punchy drums, and very little negative space—giving the record its relentless forward momentum. The interspersed DJ-style commentary is a smart structural choice, acting as brief palate cleansers between tracks that otherwise blur together in tempo and texture. At 14 tracks, the album rarely shifts out of high gear, relying on fast BPMs, straight-ahead 4/4 grooves, and power-chord harmonic language. Personally, I find the constant loudness and repetition grating, but it’s undeniably effective—and very much of its time. “Come Out and Play” stands out as the album’s most interesting composition. The song’s sitar-inspired guitar riff introduces a quasi-modal flavor that contrasts nicely with the otherwise standard punk tonality. The intentional pauses before the refrain—“you’ve got to keep ’em separated”—create tension through silence, a rare but effective dynamic move on the record. Lyrically, it frames violence as cyclical and performative, which pairs well with the song’s stop-start rhythmic feel. “Self Esteem,” understandably the album’s most popular track, leans further into melody. Its catchy, descending guitar line and mid-tempo groove make it more approachable, while the drums use heavier fills to emphasize emotional shifts rather than pure aggression. The song captures the stench of ’90s teenage love—self-aware but still wallowing—and closes with one of the album’s sharpest lyrical moments: “The more you suffer The more it shows you really care Right?” It’s sarcastic, unresolved, and just musical enough to stick. Smash may be sonically exhausting, but it’s also confident in its narrow focus. It doesn’t aim for subtlety or variety—it aims to hit hard, fast, and repeatedly. Love it or hate it, that commitment is what made it endure.
Loud
I’m a 90s kid so I have a few Offspring songs saved on Spotify. Those songs are good but they never really made me want to explore the band more. Turns out that was a good call. They keep the energy, and it sounds fairly polished, but doesn’t vibe with me.
Cheesy, juvenile punk-pop - is that a genre? If not, then it was invented by The Offspring. I've never liked them nor their music, which, as a punk purist, is of course completely acceptable. Still, I know nearly all of the songs on this album because of the massive airplay on even at festivals where they weren't even performing. In hindsight, compared with other punk-pop bands at that time like Green Day or NOFX, they weren't that bad, but in the end, it's all too repetitive. 2/5
The only thing I'm smashing is my head against the wall. 2/5
Not for me, not my scene. Liked while listening.
J'ai pas écouté jusqu'au bout, c'est pas mauvais mais c'est juste pas ma came
I put off listening to this today because I have shit to do and it looked like it might be noisy/angry. I must listen to stuff that is noisier and angrier as this felt quite contained/compressed really. More tuneful than I was expecting. Am I disappointed? I think maybe I am. Maybe that's why I'm not being very generous in my listening notes. Or maybe the stupid dumb fuck motherfucker is rubbing off on me and I want to tell them to go fuck themselves cos I've got shit to do and limited patience for their limited patience. Here's a mirror. Let's smash it. I think if I was in a more carefree mood I'd be vibing a bit more off on the angsty energy. I usually find this kind of stuff really funny. Trying to work out why it's in the 1001 list - is it about making punk more accessible to mainstream? Channelling Nirvana? What did they do with the music from those that went before them? [Shrugs] Went through a kind of bell curve listening to this. Amongst what is clearly some irritation as I listen to the first 2-3 tracks I write down "Some of the higher energy songs are super short, like they run out of energy really quickly. Nitro Youth Energy clearly doesn't last long. Production sounds like bands I listened to in low ceiling'd sweaty venues." Somewhere in the middle I realise that I am finding some of it funny and my grumpiness is wearing off. Either I had, or it had warmed up by Genocide and feeling a bit more generous and listening with a more tuned in ear. Are they singing 'Donkey Kong'??? Oh no, it's 'Dog Eat Dog'. hahaha. I decide I like the narrator. It's kind of funny and telling a story about the band not taking itself overly seriously. Then start going down the other side of the curve and thinking "Izzalright but a bit samey. Oh I think they noticed, as here comes some ska." And then there's a bunch of other songs that sound the same again. Album filler. Trying to pick out what I'll put down what my fave track is and I can't tell what the singles were. Is that telling me something? 2.5 stars. It's not shit, I'd give it another go in a better mood. I've given better (and more accomplished stuff) a 3 though. Total no. tracks: 14 Fave track 3: Bad Habit. Others: [I'll have to listen to it a few more times to see if anything actually stands out] Genocide seems first to switch my listening ears on. Like something interesting going on. It'll be a Long Time. Had some changes in time sig slowing down and speeding up. Twice through: Bad Habit maybe. Interesting space around the bass line and some variation in the track.
“Self-Esteem” will be playing on the radio during the apocalypse.
meh... just the same songs for 45 minutes, boring.
Didn’t hate it … don’t love it
Not my favorite. Great energy and rage along with upbeat punk sounds. jusy not my fave.
Nirvana ripp-off. Song #1 is the only one worth listening to, hence "2".
I did not like the fact that I enjoyed some of this. I was familiar with the radio hits, but did not know The Offspring had much “punk” in their “pop-punk” musical nature. That made me smirk and nod in approval…but the album lacked substance and made me feel 14 again. And not in a good way.
Rapping over rock music
Not for me
One of the all-time annoying rock voices.
For the uninitiated, it’s loud, it’s brash, it’s unrelenting in the melodies it presents. That doesn’t make it bad, it just makes it, well, a lot, which is exactly what an Offspring project should be. The runtime of 46 minutes is a misnomer, however, with the 10min title track actually only running for just shy of 4 minutes, which left a bad taste in the mouth. Literal silence, like what? Rating: 4/10 (2 Stars) Favourites: Gotta Get Away, Genocide, Self Esteem
Maybe if I was younger. But apart from their song Self Esteem, two songs from Blink 182 and Green Day...this punk rock era did not really click with me. Listened to before? No.....Listen to again? No.....Previously known songs? Self Esteem....New songs liked? Gotta Get Away
Nem terminei de ouvir, infelizmente não gosto desse genero
Gave me a headache
Some nice guitar riffs, singles are ok, but not awe inspiring and the remainder are a bit meh.
2.5 tbh not the genre im into lately. its good music tho
I didn’t catch the vibe this time. Maybe a second listen
The Offspring’s breakthrough album passed me by completely when it was released, and listening now, 30+ years later, it’s easy to understand why. I’d already grown-up listening to classic punk, US hardcore and UK thrash merchants like Discharge, what could a band like The Offspring offer that was in anyway new? The answer, not much. To be fair, the single Come Out and Play is alright, and a couple of other tracks seem ‘fun’ but really, there’s nothing much here for me. To generic, too polished, too safe and too juvenile. 4/10
I forgot to rate after listening, but wasn't a huge fan.
I'm not missing out. 2
I am not loving this at 8.56am
…eh
A few of their hits but otherwise the album sounds like the same song over and over again to me.
I'm so old that I know the music TV stations playing many different genres. The Offspring was very often out there. I didn't know much more about them. Now, listened more to them, they have some good songs and I appreciate some musical work (especially with that base). But most stuff is just too punk for me. And while their front man Dexter deserves all the props for being a decent being and having a PhD on top of that, I can't stand his singing voice so much.
Idk I only listened to the first three songs
Could do with being a touch more melodious.
Ha, ok. Obviously poznam sam tiste bl zajebantske komade k so bli znani v mojem otroštvu. Iz tega albuma pa pomojem absolutno nič. Začne se s spoken word interludeom, po pa sam šopa. "Come Out and Play' mi je prvi zanimivo zveneč komad in ne totalno enak vsem ostalim komadom. Me pa tud mal spominja na prej omenjene poznane komade ("Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" in " Why Don't You Get a Job?"). A, moram se po dolgem cajtu posipat s pepelom: koj k se je začel, sem se ga spomnila: "Self Esteem" poznam od prej in mi je dejansko kul komad. In, lol, izdan je bil točno na današnji dan 31 let nazaj. Hmmmm, Dexter ma ful specifičen vokal. Zadnji komad je miks komada, spoken worda,reprize komade k je že bil in tišine. In vse skp traja utrajajočih 10 minut in 42 sekund.
I did not know just how much of Boston-area radio was Offspring. I have learned much.
Not my genre but it is good for the person who likes this genre 1/5 didn’t finish the album 2/5 didn’t keep the album 3/5 kept it and will listen when songs randomly show up on shuffle 4/5 kept it and will listen to it again front to back on my phone 5/5 buying the vinyl
Smash? Pass. Fave tracks: Come Out and Play, Self Esteem
Eh. Ok. If it weren't for Come Out and Play and Self Esteem this might land in 1 territory.
Dogshit pre millennial’pop punk’ . That said I tapped my toes at a few songs. All the imaginative prowess of an 80 year old dementia patient waiting at a bus stop. 2.5/5 based on appealing to the lowest common denominator
Meh. Didn't do anything for me. Not my style and every song sounded the same
a low 2. Its not witty or funny huh.
Wasn't my bag growing up, I always found the vocals grating. Now that I am older nothing has changed. It's a fine album, it's just not for me at all. Highlights: Self Esteem
When the thrash metal drumming, whiny vocals, and slushy overdriven guitars come together in a certain way The Offspring offer can a great song. But this hardly happened. 2/5
This hasn't really aged that well. I guess they're tight and a pretty good band, but the songs are mostly same sounding.
Gave up halfway through - sorry I didn't spend my formative years in the US
A few good tunes that stick out, but the rest is just stereotypical punk noise.
Not very distinctive, standard 90s fare.
Come Out and Play is a fun song, but I just don't care for the Offspring.
meh, extremely boring
Eh. Did not like it at all. Liked this band in middle school but wow they are annoying. Nirvana rip off
Yeah what the hell is this. The hits were fine, the only passable songs. Everything else was weird emo crap. Did not enjoy.
Kinda crazy how much of this album I remember. Back in 1994, "Self Esteem" and "Come Out and Play" were huge and great at the time (still good songs if I'm being fair). I remember being stoked to hear the rest. Then I heard the rest and was greatly disappointed. Save for the two big singles (and "Gotta Get Away"), the rest of the album sounds like one song played over and over. It's that Epitaph sound that I've never liked. It all sounds the same to me. Save for Offspring's singer's distinctive voice, nothing else about this stands out from any of the rest of Epithaph's roster. Music-wise, this is the same as Pennywise. And it's the same jock punks who listen to that and this. It's very 90s. It's not the worst but overall it doesn't do anything for me but remind me of jock punks with frosted-tipped gelled hair and wallet chains or some shit.
It's just too noisy for my little ears. Though I must say I was incredibly productive at work while these guys were yelling at me.
There's a twinge of nostalgia listening to this, but it's kinda cringe.
This is about what I expect when I read "The Offspring" on an album cover. There are undeniable Grunge and Punk influences here, and the singer is usually more shouting than actually singing, which is par for the course for Punk, but not really my cup of tea. Self Esteem is a classic from the era, but the rest of the album is just so-so. Energy yes, good songs, err, not really. 2/5
Really don't like this guy's voice
Glad to see The Offspring make the list. Would prefer to see Americana here though, it's a more interesting listen.
Did not love this the first time. Has not aged well. Get some credit for not being other US punk-ish bands of the same period.
My ears hate me listening to this, a distinct headache coming on every time I try. During the day I had to break it down in 2 song chunks as it's so wearing, samey, at times tinny and bludgeoning. Not an experience I want to repeat (although i'm sure there might be similar kinds of album in the 1001). At least the song "Self Esteem" has some subtlety in structure, although many of the more tolerable tracks just have me reaching for Nevermind.
Influential? maybe. Good? Nah Later Offspring is better 3.5 / 10 Best track: Come Out and Play has at least something interesting going on with that riff
I had this compact disc playing on my home stereo. My memory of it was not that it was good, just that there were two bangers. And that was a correct recollection - Keep em Separated and Self Esteem are great, the rest is trash that straddles the punk eras from hardcore 80s stuff to the cheesy late 90s pop punk. Fave Tracks: Come Out and Play, Self Esteem 2.2/5
not my thing
2 hits, bad voice
All this album did was remind me why I'm kind of picky about this type of music. I'm not really feeling the vocalist, but that's not my only problem. The music feels too stereotypical. Same guitar riffs I've heard before that kinda blend in together tied together with the HEEEEY OHOOOooo ass choruses. The music just comes off as a bit corny to me. They're trying to be edgy, but it's kind of a dull edge. I didn't hate any of it but wasn't very invested in it either, and a few decent to good songs don't change that.
Couple of bangers but the rest doesn't do it for me
a few good songs, but that was it
Not very good. Kinda boring and I never liked The Offspring, and it’s mostly just not very good. I don’t know what to say there’s not tons wrong with it they’re just not my thing
Vocals kind of ruined this one for me, but I enjoyed the music. I see the appeal, though.
got to the 3rd song, then I skipped the rest. I've heard it before, it's ok, a solid 3/10, myb a 4. but could I die without having heard this? absolutely.
It’s a fun listen. I’m not throwing this on anytime with any sense of conviction, but this record has its place in getting kids to pick up guitar for the first time.
Super forgettable. Ill only use this to talk to older former punk rockers. TWO!
Fan of the popular songs (Gotta Get Away, Come Out and Play, and Self Esteem), but didn't leave wanting to re-listen to any others. I guess I liked the riff in the middle of It'll Be a Long Time. I liked the hidden track at the end of Smash; I'm a fan of using the medium of the CD as part of the album.
Yuck. My punk/hardcore is Bad Brains, Black Flag. This is just obnoxious
While there's a small bit that feels nostalgic here, it really falls flat and feels weak as a whole project, especially compared to the other rock groups of the era. The only track that did anything for me was "Genocide," which still wasn't that great. 2 instead of 1 star for being cohesive and not too long or bloated.
Not into ‘90s pop-punk. I don’t like Green Day, even though they are hometown boys (Berkeley, CA) and played my college co-op the year before I got there and the year before they broke. And I don’t like the Offspring. I can appreciate some things. “Self Esteem,” the big hit off this album, does make me laugh and is a bit of an earworm. Drums go hard. But the vocals are mad annoying and the songs blend into each other. 2.5
Very hardcore but not bad
It's alright, nothing to say. It's just okay 5/10.
At least they only have one album on this list. Self Esteem was an okay song. The rest were thankfully at least fairly short.
Theyll never make me hate you "Self Esteem"
