THE OFFSPRING
Maybe hanging out with Jello Biafra put the fun-loving spring in Offspring's step. Or perhaps it was just the royalty checks, hot babes, and fast cars. Whatever the case, the band's fourth record, Americana, is its most lively offering to date, replacing angst and rage with energy and sarcasm. The novelty single "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" matches infectious riffing and shout-along vocals with fly-girl chants of "Give it to me, baby" and lyrics about wannabe scenesters; and a storming punk-rock version of Morris Albert's "Feelings" sees the band hitting a new level of, er, (in)sensitivity. Elsewhere, the humor is slightly more subtle; "She's Got Issues" cops a new-wave guitar line from the Cars songbook, "The Kids Aren't Alright" opens like an Iron Maiden anthem, and "Why Don't You Get a Job?" is a blatant reggae-style spoof of the Beatles' "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da." Musically, Americana offers no real revelations, but the songs are a bit craftier and more diverse than the rest of the Offspring oeuvre, veering haphazardly between anthemic punk metal, blistering hardcore, and near-psychedelic experimentation. --Jon Wiederhorn

Summary: "An iconic American punk rock album."
Say what you want about the offspring "selling out" to a major record label. The result was a cleaner sound, and a very consumable end product which probably helped the popularity of the offspring's older work. Americana is a series of infectious guitar progressions and catchy vocals.
Nobody ever claimed they broke new ground or changed the world with this album, it is however a very strong album that will be in my collection forever. This kind of punk rock is definitely extinct today, and this album is a gem, and a lasting reminder of why the offspring were considered one of the most influential American punk groups.
My favorite tracks:
She's got issues (The guitar riff that noodles wails on throughout the song is addicting)
Starin' at the sun - interesting lyrics and a classic 1990s power-punk chord progression make this song an anthem.

Summary: "Surprized Me"
A few years ago a Japanese friend of mine unexpectedly gave me this CD to listen to for a while. I'm not familiar with any other Offspring songs, so I expected this to be the usual angry troubled successful rich guys yelling into the microphone about whatever. About halfway through the second listen (OK, I wasn't paying much attention the first time) I realized these songs are pretty hilarious. I'm sure my Japanese friend had no inkling of the humor. I really grew to like the album overall, and later bought my own copy. Rather than some hate-filled rant, it seems to me this is a relatively thoughtful call to examine more closely some of the things that are seriously wrong with America.

Summary: "The most inane and annoying band to hit the the radio - I mean it"
When I heard "Come Out and Play" in the middle 1990s bands like Nirvana, Silverchair and The Presidents of the United States of America were testing the faith I had as a child in commercial radio but was rapidly losing. At first, I thought the song was by an Australian band (whose name I will not mention) I had read about but never heard (later a familiar tale for me) and it was only after I had really come to detest the Offspring that I realised "Come Out and Play" had been thier first hit single.
During the 1990s I had a stereotyped image of "alternative" music as loud, tuneless noise whose critical praise I could never grasp (not at the time did I care). If you want to keep that image, the Offspring is exactly the band to hear. Their songs, all along, tend towards the inanely catchy at the expense of the slightest substance, in exactly the same manner as bands like Slade and Gary Glitter did in the early 1970s for audiences who could not resist a song like "Rock and Roll" or "Cum on Feel Tha Noize".
If anything, the Offspring were sillier than those terrible glam bands, and though their sound was harder and more emotional the manner in which their songs would hit one's brain with a terrible aftertaste is quite unlike most previous pop music. The awful tunelessness and lack of harmony can be seen on "Why Don't You Get A Job", which could be a rewrite of the justly deplored "Breakfast at Tiffany's" from a few years before. When they really move close to metal on "Have You Ever", Dexter Holland sounds as if he is straining to be heard, whist "Staring at the Sun" is just a terrible punk pop number. The way in which Dexter Holland uses obscenities as humour makes a band who pay with a self-conscious childishness that no doubt appeals to the many angry young kids in American and even Australian cities. It does not, however, detract from the fact that self-conscious childishness makes for the worst possible music because it clearly shows the musicians involved feel only on the shallowest possible emotional level. The Offspring like the spoilt childish person I have always been owing to autistic problems - only they will not even try to discuss their problems with a sympathetic counsellor and instead make a living out of acting this role. The problems the Offspring sing about are not deep or even personal, but relate to hated Others who become criticised without reason or feeling.
The Offspring, despite their history on an independent label, sound on radio like a band manufactured for children to prevent them from growing up. Anyone with a serious interest in music will know that strategy is the worst possible one to make music that can be easily listened to or remembered.
