Smash

This is peak Offspring

Two really good songs, a lot of okay songs.

Probably not a 5 but it’s getting one

Couple of great tunes but a lot of samey ones

Big feckin energy, great running album

Just good fun

was never massively into the Offspring in my teenage years, I'm more familiar with their "Crazy Taxi" offerings. good shit tho, some bangers

It's time to relax, you know what that means! Classic album of a classic rock/punk band that accompanied through my youth. Just had seen them in Zurich last November - love the energy, love the sound, love Self Esteem!

This brought back memories of Uni, not as shouty as I was expecting - more if a happy/fun vibe, didn't mind it.

Yep, love this one. Still, the 'fun' songs take away from the urgency of the others.

Used to be a big Offspring guy in high school and this album brought me right back. “Nitro” is an underrated hit of theirs that starts this album off right and is also featured in the goat football movie “Varsity Blues”. The fast paced tempo of the album had me in a constant subtle head bang and made me want to run through a brick wall. Overall, enjoyed this one a lot.

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.

Give me a sample of the vocals or a guitar riff and I could identify The Offspring 10/10 times. Fun group and album.

I definitely had this, or Mitchell did, in the cd case back in the day. I listened to Americana, the one with the cockroach on the cover and Pretty Fly (For a White Guy), way more. There were a couple tracks here that triggered some recognition, but not many. It took me a couple tries to get through this album, but the back half is a lot more fun. A little bit of humor and a self-deprecating narrator go a long way for me. Also, Chelsea and I watched another 90s artifact a couple months ago, Idle Hands, which features The Offspring performing at the high school Halloween dance. That movie holds UP. Also also, the singer’s got a pretty interesting Wikipedia page (for a pop-punk singer).

Fantastic. Great way to get back into the list.

non è assolutamente roba mia

This was all the rage when it came out, brought punk music to the masses. It is commercial punk, there are a few fun songs but most of it is pretty repetitive. I think there were better punk bands making better music they just didn't get the recognition from the industry. I would add a few songs to a playlist but not an album I would listen to all the way through again.

A couple of great songs, the rest mehh

Gostei bastante deste álbum!! Já conhecia este disco, porém nunca havia escutado ele todo antes e me arrependo de não te-lo escutado anteriormente. Entre algumas faixas há uma especie de narração apresentando o álbum, o que eu, particularmente achei muito interessante. O gênero musical predominante do álbum é o rock, e eu achei bastante interessante o álbum em geral, por isso, minha nota é 5/5

1/30 Not bad. Just makes me think of Tony Hawk Pro Skater or Crazy Taxi

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

Ok I am obsessed with the narrator element they have going on here at the start middle and end - Time to Relax had me smiling to myself like an idiot, into the drum roll open of Nitro, wow. The playful and tongue in cheekness was so good, or I guess I should just say the punkness? I’m realising I really like music that demands your attention in the way that stuff like this just does. Are they singing about stupid stuff sometimes? Probably, but I don’t care, and I generally like the intensity of the wall of drum and guitar they have going on. Lyrically, Not the One was also quite a cathartic listen. Wish there was some nuance to the rating system to give scores between whole numbers as I first thought was 3.75 but will round up. When I live out my dream of becoming a drummer I will be returning to learn some of these.

What’s not to love here? I’ve always been a fan of The Offspring and I’m particularly partial to all the whoaaaaa yeahhhh yeahhhhh ohhhhhs, of which there are plenty on this album. The back end is home to a few of my fave tracks (Come Out and Play, Self Esteem). Long live the 90s!!

I love pop punk!!! I’m sure there’s lots of debates around where exactly this fits into the pop-punk-rock continuum but it was a lot of fun. I was worried when the first song was that little skit (I generally hate skits on albums) but after that I really got into this. You do get a pretty good sense of how each song is going to sound and the way the elements are going to come together, but I also love how distinctive Dexter’s voice is. similar critique to a lot of other albums we’ve heard is the songs start to sound a bit the same towards the end. come out and play so fun!! I played this nice and loud and imagined I was another 90’s angsty teen (perhaps a neighbour of the one listening to the garbage album).

You can get away with a lot using only like 3 chords and some simple lyrics. The only thing that really matters is the energy you bring. 90s rock was the best.

Des morceaux iconiques mais un album trop ressemblant 3.5/5

Man, early 90's Offspring was pretty great. "Self Esteem" is one of the all-time punk/rock greats.

норм

The riffs are good, but this just seems so inauthentic. It's overproduced - so many parts are doubled, and it seems like there's a novelty track on every album. With a rawer sound, and less puerile lyrics, this could be a great album.

Kinda sick, also kinda not. Idek. Stand-outs - Something to Believe In - It’ll Be a Long Time

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.

A bit redundant but good beats.

Recognize their voice immediately. Familiar with the hit songs. Understand its place in punk uprising, but not a band I would listen to the whole album again.

Loads of energy and attitude

Loud

Good, if you are in the mood for something out of a skate/snowboard video game from the 2000s. Not bad, but you need to be in the mood for that sort of experience. Between 2 and 4 depending on context, so I'm splitting the difference with 3.

So great! My fourth grade teacher found this cassette in my desk, looked at the lyrics, and called my parents to rat me out. That day I was reborn as a punk. This record changed my life and I’ve never looked back.

Difference between like and respect - I respect but don't like. His voicing is too, too whiny.

Один із перших їхніх альбомів який я почув ще в школі, це досі звучить круто і ніколи не набриде

I likey

A great political album! I really enjoyed the sound and message. While my favorites are the singles, each song was worth a listen.

The vocals aren't actually that much more annoying than any other similar band. 3.5*

Listening to American Punk as a Brit is a bit like looking through a kaleidoscope. It's not what you remember that thing looking like, but it is pretty funky all the same

Unsure why this album is getting hate from other reviewers. It's a solid pop punk album, it's a little more on the punk side in style but it's def pop punk. It had some rad classics on it and the offspring rips. Great album.

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.

Kommer lidt efter grungens død hvor alternativ rock er ved at splitte sig i nogle andre retninger. Det her er meget mere punket f.eks. Det kan man også høre på vokalen som er meget skrålende, men det minder mig også underligt meget om sådan noget fra start 2000'erne op til 2008 eller sådan noget. Det lyder nemlig sådan lidt mere pop-punket på en eller anden måde og meget radiovenligt. andre genre er skate-punk som er ekstra hurtigt og melodisk drevet. Det er nok det jeg forbinder med det poppede at det er melodisk? Det udviklede sig i slut 80'erne start 90'erne omkring vestkysten i USA i skatemiljøet og indiemiljøet. Det er angiveligt også kun indspillet til 20.000 dollars. Melodic hardcore bliver det også kaldt, hvilket jeg tænker springer fra lidt af det samme. Synes sgu det er fint nok, det er sjovt at lytte til i et bestemt humør, det er jo bare fuld goddav derudad og det fungerer det rigtig godt til.

13 again. Good, solid entry-level punk that takes me back. Even listened to Americana after.

In the onslaught on the Grunge movement this album, while popular, really didn’t get it just due.

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

My first 0.5 of the year

I can not in good conscience offer this a rating due to it being unutterably appalling, however I fear the system will require me to award it one star, thus putting the album on a par with the dreadful efforts by AC/DC and Alanis, when unfeasibly it is actually quite a lot worse. Tom. Rubbish - Charlotte

dude it's like im tony hawk

Smashing!

The only thing I'm smashing is my head against the wall. 2/5

Liked it more than I thought I would!

Pretty nice

No thanks.

Not for me, not my scene. Liked while listening.

Du bon rock, mais pas trop d'originalité.

C’est bien un peu de changer de décennie C’est pas le groupe que je préfère mais c’est sympa. Dans celles que je ne connaissais pas, j’aime bien « what happened to you? » avec des rythmes ska

J'ai pas écouté jusqu'au bout, c'est pas mauvais mais c'est juste pas ma came

One of the greats of the pop punk genre. For what it is, it doesn't get much better than this.

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.

emo rock musik, meistens das selbe rumschreien, die stimme die ein durchs album führt ist cool, fav song: itll be a long time, 3/5

quite accessible punk sound. Not sure if they ever made it to UK. Weird last track.

Always been a fan of The Offspring from the hits. This was my first time listening through an entire album and it ruled. The hits are awesome and, more importantly, the songs in between the hits only add to the overall album experience. I've been on a good streak lately and this keeps it going

Noisy but fun. Best song Self Esteem 3-4

Smash n’ Sk8

The Blue Album and Smash—two huge albums that helped set a course for post-Cobain alt-rock in ‘94—appealed to different types of outcast: the serious (former) and the unserious (latter). There’s a lot of crossover there, but that subtle difference probably explains why the Disneyfication of both bands hit the Weezer fans harder. The Offspring might be singing about gang violence and road rage, but Dexter never had the insight or perspective as a songwriter to make people take it seriously. Rivers had the chops to make us care about sweaters and surfin’. Go figure. So, this record is not Blue. But it’s a solid effort with a few tracks that absolutely rip. “Gotta Get Away” would be a great rock song in any era. “What Happened to You” is primo ska punk. And “Self Esteem,” the cuckold anthem of all-time, is an unironic 10/10 for me. I have to remember not to accelerate when it comes on in the car. (A bad habit, so to speak.) The Offspring never reached the heights of a truly great band, but they demonstrate here that with a few different creative choices, it wasn’t crazy to think they could.

“Self-Esteem” will be playing on the radio during the apocalypse.

You know, this album wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I really do enjoy the scrappy skate punk songs that make up the album’s deeper cuts. I guess I approached this album thinking it would be bad based on the singles, which are forever stuck in radio play purgatory. Specifically Self-Esteem—seriously, what the fuck even is that song? Everything about it is so ass. The wailing non-chorus, the perpetual vi-iv-i-v chord progression, the shitty ra-ra intro. It’s fucking cheeks. Banish that shit back to hell.

Vraiment sympa. Un mood contestataire un peu qui parle aux jeunes avec de la vraie bonne musique punk.

meh... just the same songs for 45 minutes, boring.

Didn’t hate it … don’t love it

No

Awesome, felt like I was 14 years old again, should be mandatory listening for all teenage boys. I want to give it 5 stars, but I think dookie is a better early 90s pop punk album so it has to be a 4, would be 9 out of 10 though

Genial

punk çok sevmem ama güzel bir albümdü.

fun intro. yell singing.. oh boy self esteem. this that white boy grunge that goes hard. hit the vowel sounds with a vengeance. Why does the song Smash have 7 minutes of dead air?

It’s a bit like if Kurt Cobain was really trying to carve away at a sound that would later become pop punk. Which is exactly why “Come Out And Play” was included in a THPS game and every other extreme sports montage of it’s time. “Bad Habit” is the inner monologue of my coworkers who openly admit they scream at drivers almost every day on the way home. “Self Esteem” makes my thoughts about the Kurt Cobain comparison especially true. I know a lot of guys wanted to sound like that around the mid-90’s, but this is a bit insane. I think I got a bit bored around this point in the tracklisting too. It’s all west coast surfer punk rock from then on (complete with the almost skapunk “What Happened To You?”) -- a novel concept at the time, now a niche sound from a bygone era. I’m feeling on the slightly positive side of a 5/10. Hindsight is unfair to this album, as Blink-182 would soon come along and crush this genre in a more refined, digestible, fun manner.

Yes dude Peak offspring, 3 classic bangers on here in : come out and play, self esteem, genocide, gotta get away. This album is 32 years old .. but incredibly applicable still today, as most punk is the struggle persist. I knew this was going to feel modern with the current federal occupation of MPLS. Bad habit still hits so hard. Combat anthems Few perky/ skaish silly, classic offspring tracks Still kinda fresh. Great album for what it's trying to be, it knows what it is and rips it.

Da jeg var i punk rock-alderen, bodde The Offspring sammen med Sum 41, Blink 182, og andre band jeg mente spilte soft high school pop punk. Det var først på en hyttetur med Radio Rock for noen år siden jeg ble utsatt for Self Esteem omkring 7 ganger om dagen (spillelista deres er virkelig kort) og ble litt hekta. Låta har lurt seg inn i rotasjonen her og der, men skiva har jeg sovet på. Etter å ha hørt den, tror jeg at jeg tok feil i min ungdomstid. Dette er ikke så langt unna Bad Religion og de holdt jeg kronprinsen av punk rock, neste i rekken etter NOFX. Textene er litt mer userriøse, men punk er en genre der det er plass til mye humor. De fleste låtene er inn det ene øret og ut av det andre, men det er full fart nesten hele veien, så jeg koser meg. Det verste med skiva er at Smash ikke står som en selvstendig låt, for det er en banger med høy playlist-faktor.

Av band i poppunk-segmentet skal vel Green Day være det største, men jeg syns ikke de blomstret skikkelig før i rockopera-platene sine. Offspring derimot har alltid naila det. Det er gøy å høre på, med vittige tekster og gode melodier. Jeg har hørt mye på Americana av dem, og sist jeg hørte det sto det til 5. Smash er jeg mindre kjent med utenom «Self Esteem» og litt i forbifarten. Men de nailer det jo her også. Jeg tror grunnen til at jeg holder dem høyere enn GD sin poppunk er fordi de har mer av de hardere elementene av punken. Tidvis kunne de vært et ganske kult thrashmetallband, feks som på «Nitro» og «It’ll Be A Long Time», og samtidig lefler de med hardcore hele veien. GD spilte Ramones-riff, og de gjør det ikke noe bedre enn Ramones engang Jeeg noterer meg også at grungevokaleffektens rettmessige adresse er hos Offspring. Det er litt flaut å innrømme det, men jeg har ikke en lang tenåringshistorie med The Offspring. Det var ikke et band jeg satt meg ordentlig ned med før litt uti 20-årene, så jeg kan ikke skylde på nostalgi. Men så flaut er det jo ikke, for det er sabla kult

Not my favorite. Great energy and rage along with upbeat punk sounds. jusy not my fave.

The Offspring is fantastic! I was never as big a fan of them as I was of the Pearl Jam’s and Smashing Pumpkins and STPs of the world, but they were great and this is a good album.

There were so many better pop punk bands musically and the singer makes most of the songs unlistenable. I avoided listening to them on purpose for 30 years. Thanks.

Peak 90s punk/skate punk album. Classic

Not bad. Would be better as an EP because it gets old about halfway through.

Nirvana ripp-off. Song #1 is the only one worth listening to, hence "2".

One of those albums your friends tell you about in high school because they found the lyrics crude and funny and angsty. I was surprised I knew so many songs simply from that exposure, and I think this music held more appeal for me back then. But there’s still some solid tracks on here and as a lover of punk I appreciated getting a closer glimpse at the group that launched a thousand pop-punk bands.

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.

Liked the dirt track after the intro, loved the nostalgia of the intro and last song having a ‘bonus track’, not my usual cup of tea, but was fun

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The music is great and there was a couple of stand out tracks for me (Self Esteem, It'll be a Long Time) I've never been a big fan of the vocals but yeah, this was pretty good.

I can't stand the lead singers voice, but damn some of those "nu-punk' tunes are catchy. Liked Songs Added: Come Out And Play Low Sel Esteem

Not bad...

Knowing Offspring's future work this was a merciful listen. I was familiar with all of the singles just from the radio in the 90's and I enjoyed them then as well as now. The songs I didn't know as well were also enjoyable. This aged a lot better than everything they did later.

Own this one. Listened to it quite a lot in high school.

Rapping over rock music

This one is slightly confusing. I don't love the record but I feel it is generally successful musically. Don't love the random surf rock/middle eastern riff of the giant break in the last track. Mid 3 leaning 4

A classic punk rock album.

Something about this makes me want to get on a skateboard. Does start to get a bit samey, but when the vibe is this much fun, who cares? A perfect time capsule of a very specific era.

Ew

Man, this is an instant time machine back to my youth, a soundtrack for California afternoons, good friends, simple times, no responsibilities, just carefree fun. Right place at the right time. Fight on! ✌️

'Then you will know what nitro means / You'll live like there's no tomorrow.' Instead of smelling like teen spirit, this is a long swig of 'youth energy,' i.e., 'nitro': it's more than just a smash, it's a demolition, a fucking takeover of mind, body, and spirit. 'You stupid dumb-shit goddamn motherfucker.' At one level, The Offspring are dumb, and not like Ramones dumb but rather Def Leppard dumb. But they're actually pretty smart, not only b/c they have the right attitude towards life - let's get something outta it while we can - but b/c they're musically a (s)mash up of hardcore and grunge: the speed & optimism of the former, the dread/angst of the latter. 'Think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kinda weak / Sayin' all I know is I gotta get away from me.'

Oh yeah!! 🤘🏻🔥 I was a casual fan of The Offspring - liked all the songs I knew but hadn't listened to any full albums. Ended up seeing them on tour recently and they blew me away!! So I was super excited to get this album I knew a handful of the songs, but the rest are just as good. Pure nostalgia and incredible energy. Self Esteem is a banger! No notes just 5 ⭐️

Strong 90s album, with a lot of memorable songs. I don't think it's as good as Americana, but that could be just a personal preference. Highlights: "Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)" and "Self Esteem"

я конечно панк но хз

Not for me

не погано але не моє; трохи нудно й однаково, мабуть це мій найнеулюбленіший вид року

Mwah

Yet another that I don't need to listen to! I never got too into the Offspring, but this is a banger of an album. Blistering guitar, a great bass tone, frenetic drums, Dexter is great, the whole band kills it on this one. "Genocide" is an absolute buzzsaw of a punk guitar riff, fantastic song. "What Happened to You?" is a fun little ska-esque diversion from the heavy punk onslaught.

I never really was an Offspring guy. It's fast, catchy, fun, but too formulaic. Great hits though, but the rest is album filler imho.

One of the all-time annoying rock voices.

My favourite offspring album. From start to finish an absolute blast.

Such a nostalgic album for me for many reasons. I love it, the riffs and vocals come together really well. Favorite track: Self Esteem

the guitar technique actually sounds a bit metal, so this feels like punk metal almost. i don’t mind a few songs but a whole album is too much for me in one go. fave songs: ‘come out and play’ (reminded me of pretty fly for a white guy) ‘self esteem’ 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

Very good album, loved it from start to finish. i’m literally speechless on how good it was and the guitar was impeccable in all song omg

4,5

I don't mind it, it's just not really something I'd go out of my way to listen to. The hit songs are pretty dang good though.

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

Deep Purple is the best! This was one of my first albums as a kid I’m pretty sure my parents bought me.

3.5

Nem terminei de ouvir, infelizmente não gosto desse genero

Det er ikke, fordi det er dårligt, det er bare ikke en genre, der gør noget for mig. Kunne bedst lide Selfesteem og Smash.

I think I'm a bit too young to remember this album besides the hits. It was not what I expected based on the later Offspring. Much rawer, more energy. A pleasant surprise.

SUCH A FUN LISTEN! I LOVED LISTENING TO THIS, MIGHT NEED A SPEAKER TO BLAST THIS AND MOSHHHHHH.

not my usual type of music, a bit aggressive at times but definitely can see how this would be good in certain times and places. reminds me of a certain era of angsty teens and its fun to reminisce on that time of life.

Whilst this is clearly in my wheelhouse and does what it does well, it really doesn’t draw me in as much as other bands such as bad religion as lyrically it’s seems overly simplistic. That said it’s chock full of great riffs, massive bass and singalong choruses

This album brings me back to my childhood. It brings me back to sitting in front of my radio, ready to hit record on songs as I find the ones I wanna record on my mixtape. Self Esteem was on these tapes. Strangely though I never really listened to the whole album. I heard them so often on the radio I felt that covered what they were. I was partially right. There’s nothing jaw dropping here just good alternative. Lots of songs to rock out to. Songs to understand better now having life experience lol Biggest Hit - Self Esteem Biggest Miss ( if I had to choose) - killboy powerhead Biggest Surprise - Something To Believe In

I had this cd when I was in middle school and played the hell out of it! Is it the best punk record? Definitely not, but it helped shape my music taste as a preteen and opened me to so many other great punk bands/records that I still listen to 30+ years later

Al inicio pensé que no me gustaría pero conforme fueron avanzando las canciones senti que el album se fue desarrollando de mejor manera y a pesar de ser bastantes canciones desde mi punto de vista cada una tiene su toque especial, definitivamente hay muchas buenas canciones escondidas Genocide y Bad Habit creo que fueron mis favoritas

Listened to 2/3 of it. Decent but definitely felt a little dated for me.

Repetitive songs on this album w the beats, but two iconic songs on this one so it gets some redemption

Gave me a headache

1/5 no fav songs not for me at all!! not much to say just kind of skipped through all the songs because I didn't vibe with them.

I would not have guessed this was The Offspring’s third album. I have always been indifferent about The Offspring. The second half of the album is much stronger than the first half.

GOING IN: Dreading it properly LISTENED WHILE: afternoon lounging FAMILIARITY: Know the artist, not the album SKIP RATE: Skipped half of it REPLAY VALUE: Once was plenty DISCOVERY CURVE: Never happened ALBUM ARC: Pretty even, consistent VERDICT: Fair enough BODY'S VERDICT: Statue mode My Rating: 1

Can’t separate myself from this one. Still remember the first time I heard Come Out and Play. Being 16 when this dropped was the perfect age to consume it.

Some nice guitar riffs, singles are ok, but not awe inspiring and the remainder are a bit meh.

Great energy, an enjoyable album, love the lyric "Oh, I know I'm being used That's okay, man, 'cause I like the abuse". This is another of those 3.5 ratings for me.

Ive never loved this

It's great but didn't quite hit the way it did in high school. Still, five stars

This might be the dumbest 5 I rate on this whole list. But 1995 me loved it and it still has hooks.

de volta <3

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

Not good for me

Not my kind of music.

Listened Before? N Ah yes, when the punks went pop. The offspring are seriously punk rock and seriously smart. They bled WAY over into the mainstream on this one and it's probably one of the biggest records of the 90s. It tears serious ass for over 45 minutes with almost no slowdowns. Riff after riff, song after song.... even the wild bassline from Come Out and Play. Killer stuff. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist:

Great album, this band creates a unique vibe

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

Awesome

Though I've never particularly liked the Offspring, it's hard not to admit they found a pretty good groove on Smash. They sort of combine the sounds of Bad Religion and Green Day together to make a high-speed car chase of an album. The vocals are a lot more bearable than many of their other projects, mostly because they're not trying to be something they're not. Dexter falls a little more in line with Greg Graffin in his vocal delivery, which I think suites Smash much better than his more strained whiny sound from Americana onward. The major downside of Smash is just how poorly it was produced. It's very blown out and distorted, which can have a certain charm to it in some contexts, but doesn't work well for the sound they're going for in my opinion. The album is also a little gimmicky, the spoken word segments really not adding anything and the silent outro being overdone to hell, certainly contributing why the album just feels way too long. At the end of the day, Smash is a perfectly serviceable Punk album, but there's no day that I wouldn't rather listen to the countless better records from this era. Smash has a handful of decent singles, but over the span of 46 minutes it really loses its punch for me.

Some good songs, but the album doesn’t hold up to some of the other great ones on this list

This is definitely an iconic album for this genre and time period. I obviously knew all the songs that were hits, but the other songs were new to me. I enjoyed listening to it.

*Scream and repeat, skate punk Gotta get away Come out and play Self esteem Smash

Lowkey a banger, reminds me of iron maiden.

I like the hollering and screaming, not too far from what I listen to and I can conclude I prefer metal over punk. The drums go crazy omg. Cringe ass monologue, its giving fred durst but much worst. Captured crazy college parties so well.

no lo escuché....

Just okay. It has a couple good songs, but overall… eh. Impressive given its success with album sales produced under an independent label. Favorite song was Self Esteem.

Pretty fun

I am not loving this at 8.56am

So far i like "genocide" and "come out and play", "It'll be a long time" the most (not mentioning Self-esteem ofc). The offspring generally not the type of bands i like despite them performing my favorite genres.

Very good

“Come out and Play” is one catchy song. A one hit wonder that the never paid attention to before lyrics now give the song a totally different take. Rest of the album checks the boxes for the nineties genre it was a part of…and that’s ok.

Love this album

It’s fun and catchy, but there’s nothing groundbreaking here. I gotta say, Americana is my favorite Offspring album and I’m curious why they chose this one

This album is like a slice of greasy take out pizza. Not particularly well done, potentially bad for your health but ingested at the right time and place it absolutely hits the spot. I listened to this loudly, in headphones, while working out on an exercise bike and that felt like absolutely the right time and place for this album. I think the simplicity of the formula - chugging guitars, double beats on the snare drum and high nasaly vocals, compliment eachother and become something bigger than their parts. Like the pizza, I probably wouldn't want to dissect this album too closely, nor would I want to eat this while craving something more wholesome, but in the right time and place it does its job.

This band is pure nostalgia for me. It’s 1998, I'm 7 years old, and my neighbours just got a PlayStation. We’re sitting there playing Crash Bandicoot and the older brother puts on the Offspring’s Americana. I’m blown away as this is the first time I’m really hearing music other than what my parents normally listen to and it’s just so damned cool! Smash and Americana went on to become the soundtrack to playing PlayStation at their house that summer.

now these are some fly white guys seriously loling at the guy who wants nofx on the list over them. okay bud

Solid, grew up on this album. Still listen to gone away regularly.

Def felt like I was playing Tony hawk pro skater

Offspring never dissapoints

Класика! Вперше почув ще на збірці "мз3 КОЛЛЕКЦИЯ", які в Харкові продавались на книжковому ринку.

Self Esteem is an easy a favorite on this album. That far in the album some breath was much needed. Didn't save any other songs to the collection, but it was a fun listen.

…eh

Overall fun but the lead singer's voice annoys me at times.

It was fun, very 90's, album. Already knew several of the songs off of this album, but have never listened to the entire thing. Not crazy about the 30 second opening to the album. The secret track stuff at the end was fun back then, but now days I find a little annoying to have that 6 minutes of just silence as the last track continues playing. Overall I'd give this a 7.4/10

4/5 Reminds me of eating dine-in pizza hut with the red cups and going home to play THPS1. Just great aggressive 90s pop punk

A few of their hits but otherwise the album sounds like the same song over and over again to me.

great album. transcends traditional punk

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.

Loved this when I was 14, then hated it for years, listened today and I think it's fine. Surprisingly well played, except for the drummer's extremely 90s habit of switching to the ride to "change things up" on every chorus.

Nothing really interesting to say, just some very good pop-punk. High 4.

Punk aint dead, it's just always smelled like that. When I saw i had the offspring today I was not looking forward to it. Fuck me living, thats got some attitude. Certainly one of the longer tracklistings but just so fast paced and manically produced its hard not to head bang along. I was also surpised at the diversity in sound and rhythm, certainly was 90% thrashing drums and hammering chords but there was alot of dwpth and nuiance throughout, even paving the way for some early ska revival and pop punk precursors. Top Tracks: It's Been a Long Time, Not the One, Smash and What Happened to You?

2.5

3.0

Idk I only listened to the first three songs

classic chaotic messy skate punk from the 90’s sometimes i forget this band exists but when i do it’s like discovering euphoria again.

I really don’t have the energy today to ignore the vocals. Seems that they were influential, but not all influence is positive. I don’t want to hear this even a little bit again.

Wasn't overly familiar with The Offspring until I heard them, it felt vaguely familiar and remembered they sing Pretty Fly (for a White Guy) — iconic, nostalgic, derogitary (positively). Delighted to know they have other great songs and the 10 minute final track felt like a PRANK.

this album felt a bit too long for my taste, they didn't have enough creativity to justify 46 minutes in my opinion. And there are three or four songs that are actually worth listening to. Nevertheless, the music in the right mood can get you pumping esp. self esteem, genocide, and bad habit

opende wel deuren naar echte punk voor de jeugd in de nineties... maar veel te licht om punk genoemd te worden... wel beter dan GreenDay, maar dat waren New Kids on the Block ook

That's a very good album. Every song on the record is catchy, and 'Self Esteem' is such a punk rock classic. I love the rebellious and critical themes. Talking about the instrumentals, it has very consistent guitars and also an amazing bass line. It's punk at its peak. I don't know if I'll give it a 4 or a 5. Maybe a 4, because it gets a little repetitive.

Sweet

I couldn’t have named an Offspring song before listening, so I was surprised how many of these tracks I’d heard before (Gotta Get Away; Come Out And Play; Self-Esteem). I was prepared to dislike this, expecting something like Korn or some other nu-metal, but it was honestly a lot of fun. A little punk, a little grunge, a little rock, with an aggressive driving energy. There are flickers of Nirvana and Green Day. Not everything works, but it’s easy to see why the hits became hits. It’s junk food, but it’s tasty. Favorite: Nitro (Youth Energy) 3.5

Could do with being a touch more melodious.

I can see you have to be in the right mood for THIS, AND BOY WAS I!!!!!! Already a great time and then self esteem hits? Directly into my veins please and thank you.

I look back at many 90s albums with nostalgia, this isn't one of them. Favorite song: Gotta Get Away

Jolly good

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.

Offspring has a unique sound and this album shows it off well. I was pleasantly surprised with this energized album. The red title on the album art doesn't work but pretty much everything else does. A tremendous soundtrack to the video game 'Crazy Taxi.' Top tracks: "Come Out and Play," "Self Esteem," "Nitro (Youth Energy)," "Gotta Get Away"

--Nitro (Youth Energy)...I like the, uh, energy --Bad Habit...a dumb song about dumb teenage road rage. it's fun --Gotta Get Away...this was my favorite song in 5th grade. I think I had decent taste (trust me, bro). great bass --Genocide...I like the speed --Something to Believe In...sounds similar to earlier tracks. this was probably a fun live show --Come Out and Play...nice crunchy-but-surfy guitars. these hits hold up for me --Self Esteem...the lyrics from previous tracks were pretty juvenile but the lyrics on this are quite clever, in my humble opinion. A solid pop song about a near-universally relatable problem --It'll Be a Long Time...similar "Bad Habit", "Genocide", etc. still fun but a little been there done that --Killboy Powerhead...quick track, the bass shines again -- What Happened to You?...is this ska? it's a booty shaker --So Alone...throwaway --Not the One...the guitars really melt nicely with the bass here. definitely angsty teenage stuff but whatever --Smash...solid song but it doesn't do much different than previous tracks --Genocide (Reprise)...guitar stuff

Absolute classic. So many bangers. What great music. A true refletction of humanity. It makes me want to turn to my fellow man and say EMAMF.

Not as cringey as I was expecting based on the likes of Pretty Fly and Why Don't You Get a Job, but I struggle with the singers weedy voice

I did not know just how much of Boston-area radio was Offspring. I have learned much.

Excellent pop-punk album.

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.

This was my jam as a middle schooler. And its still pretty good. It has some evergreen type songs that will live on radio and such forever. They are good songs. I wouldn't say everything is too my same likings as when I was 10 though. Im less and less interested in the vocals. The punky guitars and drums are great. The singing is not really my thing. Im not one of those punk was only good between 1983 and 1986 types. Thats annoying but I do think this is at least lesser. Its been sorta watered down and made palatable for the general audience. And thats a good thing. But its not as good for me. I still like this band and this record but maybe not in the same way I used to. Thats getting older ain't it

awful horrible noise

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

i liked a few tracks but the album as a whole didn't leave much of an impression. the songs all sounded quite similar

Meh. Didn't do anything for me. Not my style and every song sounded the same

3.5/5

I didn't realize how old this record was, which speaks to how ahead of its time it feels. Great stuff. 4 stars.

I kept zoning out it's a fun album it's just not that rememberable

Standout songs: self esteem, something to believe in Strong points of the album: lyrics and themes. Strong social critique themes which are still valid today Good instrumentals (not my cup of tea tho) decent voice (sometimes sounds offbeat and in a rush) 7/10

Listened to many punk bands back in the day; this was never one of them. Some cool riffs and melodies; doesn't feel seminal. Hence 3 stars.

a low 2. Its not witty or funny huh.

Great calofornian garage/punk rock. Bavkground guitar kinda stays in this same sharp, fast rythm througout.

Good mall/ pop punk. The big singles do most of the work but I also liked some of the other songs and the bass player.

One of the first concerts I remember was Dropkick Murphys opening for The Offspring June 28, 2009 at Freedom Hill in Metro Detroit. All I wanted to do was play my Nintendo DS but instead the energy exploded, people were moshing, tops were off. It was a crazy experience for a 4th grader... This album has always been one of my Dad's favorites and was frequently on when working in the garage. Personally, its never been my genre or flavor but I can respect it. The nostalgic bias makes this a 4 for me even if some of the songs don't really matter too much to me (Genocide, So Alone). Favorite Songs: Come Out and Play, Self Esteem

Erstaunlich gut gealtert, macht erstaunlich viel Spaß! Was man über viele der in der Gruppe beteiligten Personen sagen kann, stimmt auch für Smash. Ich habe das eigentlich immer passiv mitgehört, aber es ist unterm Strich einfach sehr gut gemachter und erstaunlich wenig peinlicher Rock.

Ugh. Terrible

I mean, it’s fine. Pretty unremarkable 90s punk rock but there are some highlights on here. Wasn’t a fan of the skits, I just found them corny, and I still don’t love the vocals, but I enjoyed the instrumentals more than I thought I would. Not a bad listen, but probaly not one I’ll be returning to soon.

I loveee the offspring there was a couple in here i rly liked and its just good punky background music

really fun listen but don’t think i’ll revisit

I like this record. Nowhere close to a favorite, but a nice trip down memory lane.

These guys did an amazing job playing hopscotch on the line between goofball punk and self serious alt rock. A fun listen

Certified hood classic

Really good hang. Had no expectations going but enjoyed for a certain mood and context.

Soft asmr type energy sleepy time tunes

So nostalgic for me. I really wanted to give this 5 but alas it’s a solid 4. Still very much enjoy this though.

Some great songs on here. A very good album. Love the Offspring

A few fun jams but honestly kind of repetitive as a whole (I swear Dexter Holland sings the same note for like 60% of the runtime). Lot of energy, not as much personality throughout. Favorite Tracks: Bad Habit, Come Out and Play, What Happened to You

Around the age of 12 the song pretty fly for a white guy was one of the coolest songs in my world… Keep them separated was pretty up there too. This type of album makes me think about slamming a can of beer and then crushing it on your head to go skateboarding and also all of the jackass movies a little bit. Did anybody else wait for the last track at the very end for the hidden bonus song?

Nostalgische Kindheitserinnerung

the interludes were very fun, not expected for music of this genre. I am not very often feeling the amount of energy to LOVE this album, might be revisiting on a gym day...

When I listen to Offspring I instantly know who I am listening to. They have a sound that is completely unique to them and is fun to listen to. I think that is what makes them so successful, you know you are listening to them and somehow that helps you look past all the little things in their songs that are misogynistic, inappropriate and just a little off. I didn't realize there were so many hits on this album so it was a nice surprise to hear. The one criticism is that you always know you are listening to Offspring because everything starts to sound similar after a while.

The Offspring are pretty rock'n but their songwriting is not super creative and all their songs kind of sound the same to me. All their albums seem to have at least one or two hits but the rest is kind of meh.

What a giant slog it was to get through this album. I love Gotta Get Away, but I fucking hate Self Esteem and Keep Em Separated. They’re in my list of most hated songs of all time. This album sums up the sound of every dumbass thirteen year old boy thinking they’re the shit, when in reality, they ain’t shit. What bothers me about this record is how whiny and awful the lead singers voice is, how annoying the hooks are, and how pre/early teen immature this music is. Granted, there is an audience for that, but I'm not it. Big pass here, except for Gotta Get Away.

Ok, I kinda love them bringing back instrumentals from Come Out and Play as a hidden track with a Middle Eastern vibe at the end. What to say about this overall, it's a rager! I like the chill dude introducing and concluding this, that was a cute touch. I'm all for a good angsty 90s album. Having come of age in that era, it feels like "comfort punk" to me. There are a lot of great hits on here, and I enjoyed a lot of the songs I wasn't familiar with too. Solid lyrics throughout as well. There's really nothing stopping me from giving this a 5, so...

Really poor album. I love punk rock but they ain't it

Like a few songs by them. Not this album though.

well that’s just another pop punk album, nothing really special. though it would be so fun to mosh pit to this one. if i was 14 i’d probably loved it way more 3.5

It’s not about trends or analysis, it’s just pure nostalgia. Smash takes me back. I even share the same degree Dexter earned later in life, so I feel weirdly connected to it.

i enjoyed the intro and outro bits, didn't love the 10 minutes song after the outro though. unfortunately...the rest of the album kinda sounded the same to me...6/10

I don't get why this album was chosen on over Americana? If there's one McDonald's punk album by these guys you'd pick surely it would have bee the album with back to back household name singles? This just sounds like skate punk for virgins. It was still an alright listen, but nothing stood out to me at all. It also felt like it went on for fucking ever despite only being 45 minutes. I always appreciate a hidden track though, and this has 2!

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

A genuine goodone from the olden days

Surprising probably no one who knows me, I really like this album. Self-esteem is actually one of the songs I liked least, which just means I really liked everything else. The offspring manage to be grating but in a good way.

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

Reminds me of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, hell yeah I don't understand these final tracks which are 10+ minutes long but the middle 8 minutes are silence. Fave track: Come out and play

Hell yeah. 3.5/5

(4.5) Released on Epitaph Records, the definitive label for those young punk. this album made the group popular! And that sucked. Popularity sucks. But man it still rocks! I remember a “grange hall” we Colorado punks staged shows, they showed up in a white van, and I never saw the show because back then there was curfew. I hope to see them at the strawberry festival this year, 2026.

Absolutely love this group I still have this on cassette got it for Christmas in 1994

bon

Well this is just fun

Very listenable and enjoyable

extremely pleasant shit. saturated in lathersome fullness with the feeling of being made by people that gave a fuck; has a sweet intro & outro surrounding squealing guitars that tell you to skate and live your life to the fullest. includes a song advocating against genocide. winner!

Haven’t heard this album in a while. It stands up to the test of time. They really had a sharp focus on the target audience.

I don't think there was really a song on here that I really disliked. Just good rock. Little repetitive so doesn't get 5 stars.

Punk, the music, is about energy and Smash has that in spades. From start to finish the explosive power chords throughout Smash propel the listener from one track to the next. The songs on consistently solid. Punk, the movement, has its roots deeply imbedded in counter culture. Smash was a major commercial success and brought punk to mainstream audiences, which itself pisses off many purists, because that shit just isn’t punk. Its popularity meant that people pissing about the "authenticity" of The Offspring was inevitable. I don’t think that Smash is the best punk out there, even for the time it was released, but the album is pretty damn good punk. Part of the album’s success was its impeccable timing. The world was ready to embrace punk and this album and this album, chalk full of catchy riffs, scratched the itch. The album remains an important part of modern music history. For good and bad, it influenced music that followed. Because of this, it certainly belongs on this list, but that aside the album also fucking rocks. “Until next time, ta ta.”

This hasn't really aged that well. I guess they're tight and a pretty good band, but the songs are mostly same sounding.

Grating and punky and rocky and just awesome.

not bad, some good stuff

Was good power-punk; nothing here I would come back to.

Offspring are a singles band. I honestly hadn't heard most of this before. Self Esteem is an absolute belter though. Come Out And Play is decent too. Rest fairly forgettable. 18 year old me would've loved this live though.

Herrie, soms lekker met "Come Out and Play" / "Self Esteem" niet voor tijdens het werk

Epic

Gave up halfway through - sorry I didn't spend my formative years in the US

I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb. Rules to live by. Rules to grow by. I was taught this lesson when I was 7 years old. To this day, unreal album.... The elusive 5

A few good tunes that stick out, but the rest is just stereotypical punk noise.

Energetic, fast, and hard hitting. Solid.

Pretty fun! Not many greatest of all times, but yeah, The Offspring is fun, and I kind of wish there were more entries of theirs on this list

this album reminds me of the Skate or Tony Hawk soundtrack games. usually, i have a difficult time actually getting into punk rock despite me liking the message behind what they're saying (fuck the man/system), so this was album was a nice surprise. i found myself enjoying it more than i thought i would based off the first 30 seconds of the opening track. i doubt it'll be something i return to but i had a pleasant time during my listen.

Straight forward, power chord, rock and roll

I both love and hate the vocals on this album. Well produced

sure it's ok i guess, nothing special though

Not very distinctive, standard 90s fare.

Absolute banger front to back. So punk rock. 9/10

A very listenable punk album. I always thought of it as just a good rock album until I read the preview where the band was labeled punk. Labels aside, they rock.

6.4/10

Olha só, vindo uma das favoritas ainda pós show recente. Hype. Nunca ouvi a discografia deles do início ao fim. A vice da Bad Habit é muito boa. Gotta Get Away pica também, álbum muito bom até agora. Genocide não conhecia, bem da hora também. Até Come Out and Play aqui, foda demais. Foi a música que abriram o show, com o brother fazendo a voz. Descobri que ele era tipo o Lee do Tenacious D, fã e até hoje tá nos shows. Muito foda a escala em um modo ˜ GREGO˜ diferenciado aqui. Self Esteem. Os caras estavam voando aqui nesse álbum, pqp. Isso que Americana ia vir 4 anos depois. What Happened to You me lembra uma vibe Tony Hawk, nostálgico também. Pelo que vi no wiki foi o álbum mais vendido de todos os tempos por uma gravadora independente. Fudido. O álbum todo transporta pro início dos anos 2000, nostálgico, som foda que o Offspring consegue trazer. Me imagino jogando bola na rua e indo dar um rolê pelo quarteirão. Álbum inteiro bom, músicas épicas, valor sentimental. 5 estrelas fácil.

Pô, fiquei felizão quando vi que era Offspring, sempre daóra de ouvir. Não tem muito o que falar, é Offspringzão mesmo. Várias músicas clássicas que ouvimos desde criança, várias outras também meio genéricas, não dá pra mentir também uheuheuheuhe A minha preferida com certeza é Come Out and Play, baita música divertida. E é isso, Offspring né, divertido pra caralho, nostalgia, ouvimos desde pequeno, várias clássicas. Um 4 bem 4 mesmo.

Kickass album that starts off with a bang and doesn't let up. There's loads of great songs here: Gotta Get Away, Self Esteem, and of course Come Out And Play (which was the first Offspring song I ever heard). The album is very well constructed with just the right amount of not-polished. It still feels scrappy and indie, which adds to its appeal.

Come Out and Play is a fun song, but I just don't care for the Offspring.

meh, extremely boring

6/5

Nostalgia, probably best album from the offspring. Remember riding the bus listening to a burned copy of this 😂

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.

What am playing crazy taxi or something?
