I think we had Ignition/Self Titled so low since we heard them much later. No problem with Splinter last though. thanks for watching!
100% ixnay is best album
Can't argue it! Both in S for us too, Thanks for checking out the video !
They need to put Kill The President back on the first album. They never should have taken it off.
They took it off? That’s weak

The Offspring is probably the biggest fall from grace in terms of album quality for any band I've loved. I'm not even one of those people who hate "new" stuff. I appreciate when bands try new things, new sounds, because I understand that they don't want to keep playing the same old shit. It's not even the "sellout" thing to me. I don't think they are writing songs specifically to be played on the radio, they're just not good. Their last three albums are pretty much unlistenable to me outside of maybe three songs. Saw them live a couple years ago and they still rule, so they still have it at least. Matt is right, just give us one old school revival record and see what happens.
Would love a revival, I don't know why they wouldn't humor the idea, it's not like people are going wild for new Offspring, might as well make your old school fans happy. I guess we will see though
Linkin Park is another. After Meteora they barely produced anything that got my interest and their latest doesn't sound anything like them.
Ya it’s weird, albums like Splinter and Conspiracy have some great songs on them but theres so many terrible ones on them too, half great and half bad, they’re trying too hard to have another “pretty fly”
I think Green Day decline has been even more sad. The Offspring's recent albums you know you'll get at least two or three awesome punk rock songs and some other decent tracks paired with cringe singles. Let's take the last two albums: Dividing by zero+Slim Pickens is as good as anything they've ever written. And the last album has at least three awesome punk songs. The crime of the last album is the awful production.
Loved this. We talked about this band on our podcast. Lots of mixed thoughts. But I’m a fan overall.
They are definitely polarizing, seems like they mostly have interests outside of music the past decade plus, but can't deny the 90s discography! As always, thanks for watching Aaron!
Very keen to see where 'Days Go By' ranks here. One of my favourites by the band.
Not just what 'Smash' did for The Offspring, but for punk and independent music in general. Massive.
I think Ignition deserves to be higher. It’s my 2nd favorite after Smash. Zero skips, and Kick Him When He’s Down might be the best punk song they’ve ever written. Can’t believe they never revisited this album at concerts
1. Self titled

3.Smash
4.Inaxy on the hombre
Never seen Self-Titled #1 - That old school as hell!
S - Smash, Conspiracy of One
A - Ignition, Americana
B - Splinter, Ixnay on the Hombre
C - Self-titled, Rise and Fall
D - Let the Bad Times Roll, Days Go By
I feel just bring back the old stuff,
Come Again me or whatever is fine
People just don't give the new albums a chance. 'Days Go By' starts and finishes on fire. Not many end this well and they are good punk tracks!
I’d swap Conspiracy and Splinter, but you guys are sleeping heavily on Rise and Fall.
With Bad Times, they changed direction and they originally were going to continue the experimental songs they started with Days Go By. The only thing that remains from that is We Never Have Sex Anymore, and personally I really want them to complete that album
We're way stricter than you guys:
S Smash - Ixnay
A Ignition
B The Offspring
C Conspiracy - Americana - Rise and fall
D all the rest
Wow that IS strict! American in the C tier is my biggest issue, I think that one is so underrated, if you take out the goofy filler it's pretty much Hitler Bad Vandals Good
@PunkRockRadar except for a couple of songs americana is mainstream plastic. We like ignition more than you do!
The rear end and punk songs on 'Days Gone By' is like their old stuff. A pity the quirky songs get the attention. (Though, I like those too).
I love the offsping
Never Big fan of the current stuff post 90s or 2000s
'Let the Bad Times Roll' not rushed - maybe overdone. It starts well though.
Ignition
Smash
Americana
Conspiracy Of One
Ixnay On The Hombre
The Offspring
Splinter
Let The Bad Times Roll
Rise n Fall
Days Go By
I love everything down to Splinter the last 3 I cherrypick the better songs. I think Let The Bad Times Roll is pretty good its certainly better than Days and Rise n fall.
The Self Titled is one of TSOL’s best albums after Dance With Me 😂
Just send this to the offspring and say to Dexter just make old stuff. Please
Do nofx
Ixnay is the GOAT and splinter is the last album I liked by them, and even that had some bad songs on it
They've got like 15 great songs in the past 20 years, not a great couple decades for them
That's more than Green Day or Blink 182 can say (take songs post-untitled and post-A.Idiot) @@PunkRockRadar
The Offspring and the Simpsons have a similar quality arc. First 1 or 2, great. The next few albums/seasons are all-time greats. Then the quality falls off.
That's a pretty amazing comparison, spot on! haha
And do Daddy x punks stuff
And Unity and Uniform Choice
Not sure what these are haha
1. Americana
2. Rise and Fall Rage and Grace
3. Let the Bad Times Roll

10. Ignition
I like the new stuff :)
Wow! What's your favorite track on Let the Bad Times Roll? Also shocked to see Smash at 7, but good on you being a free thinker, awesome!
@@PunkRockRadar Hassan Chop is definitely my favourite. Though Coming for you and We never have sex anymore are also very high.
I first heard the Offspring from their newer albums so I guess I'm a little biased in that way. I like all their albums, but I just see myself going back to their pre-Americana ones less frequently
I love the first 5 albums and Rise and Fall 💯💯💯💯 splinter is a weak album but I love half of it!!! Days Gone By Sucks!!! Worst album for sure!! I like 3 songs lol the new album is real good too!!! Let the bad times roll is a great album. Really I just don’t like 1 album.
I hope we get another Offspring record soon, that last wait was insane!
Love offspring
They'll always be special for me too, one of the first 2 or 3 punk bands I ever heard
My wife and I like Americana. Maybe it's the generational gap (we are in our late 40's) but we never liked Smash. Maybe it was the overexposure? Fun Fact: Here in Cleveland there are a couple of places that still have an original Crazy Taxi arcade game. Our 14 year old daughter loves playing it :)
Crazy Taxi is still really fun, the kids are lucky! I definitely don't disagree with your takes on Smash, I honestly wouldn't object to a B Tier on it, may have been swayed a bit by nostalgia and popular opinion on that one.
Waiting to be offended by your choices 😂
Haha there is definitely at least one hot take on there!
Rise and Fall is super overrated. The album ends when the first four songs end. Should have been an EP.
Like california Song is awful.
Agree 100% here
I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was a guilty pleasure of mine
Ugh, Conspiracy of One is terrible guys.
Damn I really like conspiracy of one, I think there are some bangers on there, way better than everything after it
@@PunkRockRadar There is maybe one or two non-mediocre/terrible songs on there, but I agree it's better than most of what came after. I think Rise and Fall is slightly better than Conspiracy of One.
@@WorkingPeopleUnitethere’s some great songs on there like come out swinging, dammit I changed again, million miles away, all along, conspiracy of one, vultures, special delivery, but also some pretty bad ones
Rise and Fall is clearly the best since Conspiracy Of One. Way better than Ignition
What are your favorite tracks other than the singles? Maybe we need to relisten 👍
Blasphemy... The intro of "Session" is better Rise and Fall
I agree that Smash is a little rough production-wise but Conspiracy of One production would have sanitised it.
Yeah can definitely understand that, just think that even the remaster sounds pretty rough now, Nothing wrong with some hifi on an already great album
@@PunkRockRadar Honestly I heard the remaster for the first time yesterday, slightly cleaner and definitely louder, I'm happy :)
There's only so much you can do to clean up an album's production without ruining the feel of it.
Although if you ever come across an album remastered by Steven Wilson, I strongly recommend you listen to it.
The guy's a genius.
Self-titled - B - Lacking solid melodies and that identifiable Offspring sound that they developed on the next record, it sounds like a mish mash of 80s punk rock bands, the playing is a bit sloppy, but it has some really cool Middle-Eastern/metal breakdowns and riffs throughout, the lyrics are also good. I used to have the CD that had 'Kill The President' as the last track but I lost it :( // Highlights for me: Beheaded, Tehran and Blackball // Weakest tracks: Nothing terrible really
Ignition - B- - First album that sounds like an Offspring album, love the intro but it's just not that engaging an album to me, the melodies are better but songs like 'Get It Right' and 'Hypodermic' have such weak choruses // Highlights for me: Session, Dirty Magic and LAPD // Weakest tracks: Most of the songs I have some problem with but most of all is probably 'Nothing From Something' or 'We Are One' - some weak lyrics that don't say very much, a problem that would reappear on Ixnay
Smash - S+ - Love at first listen, instant love when I discovered it in 2002 at 15 years old, the perfect blend of metal and punk, the lovely crunchy guitars, strong melodies, better musicianship, more dynamics, more sophisticated songwriting, some great lyrics, still gives me chills 21 years later // Highlights for me: Bad Habit (probably my favourite Offspring song), Something to Believe in, Come out and Play, Self-Esteem, Smash // Weakest tracks: Nothing I dislike enough to worth mentioning
Ixnay - B+ - More variety on this album maybe, definitely better musicianship, slicker production, some of Dexter's best melodies and soaring vocals (Seventeen Shannon is pregnant...young as her mom when she had her!!), some of their best songwriting but also some of Dexter's worst lyrics (I Choose) // Highlights for me: Meaning of Life, Leave it Behind, Gone Away and Amazed // Weakest tracks: All I Want, I Choose (the lyrics spoil it for me), but no bad songs really
Americana - B - Overproduced a tad but still good although I never listen to it, strong melodies again, cool breakdowns like the end of 'Have you Ever', 'Feelings' has such a badass intro before the drums kick in // Highlights for me: Have you Ever, Americana and Pay the Man // Weakest tracks: End of the Line I can't remember how it goes
Conspiracy - D+ - Way overproduced album, annoying songs, 'Original Prankster' was 'Come out and Play' mk3 except bad, good melodies again, some bad lyrics, too bright-sounding for me // Highlights for me: None that I ever listen to, peaks with Come Out Swinging, has some good melodies throughout the album but none that sustain an entire song // Weakest tracks: Million Miles Away is so glitzy and annoying, not a fan of this album at all
Splinter - Bought it in 2004, hated it, stopped listening to any new releases after this - D-
Ixnay on the hombre only B+????
Quit smoking the ....Motaaaaaa
