About half the songs on Americana are good. I like Conspiracy of One way more. Smash is awesome, but Ixnay is amazing. I really only like one song off of Splinter, and that's The Noose. The new album had a couple songs I enjoyed, but I haven't really bothered giving it a real good listen since it came out.

First five albums are solid (Ignition is really underrated).
The rest - meh.
They don't do anything for me like they did when I was 11.
I remember buying Smash on cassette when it first came out. Hard to believe that was 15 years ago. I never cared for the first record, but I was into everything from Ignition through Americana (love "No Brakes").
1994...what a rad year. Dookie, Smash, Blue album. All great.

O Satan, I acknowledge you as the great Destroyer of the Universe. I spit on Christ's redemption and to it I shall renounce.
No kidding. I could go on forever about the great albums released from 92-95.
Americana was the soundtrack for my freshmen year of high school, i loved it so much. Especially Staring at the Sun. My friends and I worked out a bad ass skit for english, using that song. it was awesome.
Even in my super punk phase, Offspring was always one of my favorites. The last few albums have kind of distanced me from them, but I still rock Smash on a regular basis. That album is pretty timeless. Ignition was always one of my favorites too. I only have Ixnay on cassette so it's not going on my iPod any time soon. Bummer. I'm gonna try to see if I can pick up a used copy though. I got rid of Americana. There were some good songs, but only a few. It sucks, though, 'cause those good songs were REALLY good.
For real. Some of them are my favorite Offspring songs are on that record.
