When I first heard The Offspring, it was the horrible pop abomination Americana. However, at the time I liked it, and that led to me buying some of their other CD's, and I found out how much they really ROCK! Ixnay on the Hombre is cool, and the new album is alright, but this is the album to buy. The music is still somewhat unrefined (in a good way), and the band hasn't started to become poppy yet. This isn't "Pretty Fly", this is real punk-rock/alternative. If you even remotely like the band, I will tell you now: YOU NEED THIS CD. Buy it, now. Don't finish reading this review, just buy it. You have my stamp of approval. Every song is cool, especially "Gotta Get Away", "Bad Habit", "Self Esteem", and "Smash". But they all are really cool, so it doesn't matter which ones I like. A must-have, plain and simple.
