Greatest Hits - Offspring (The)

Forming in Garden Grove, California in 1984; The Offspring are perhaps one of the best known and most well received Pop Punk bands of our time. During the mid 90's, it was bands such as The Offspring, Green Day and Rancid who revived a popular interest in Punk music in the U.S. - an interest which can be seen to have sustained to some extent ever since. Whilst Green Day went on to bigger and better things, having sold over 60 million records worldwide ...
...never enjoyed quite such an overwhelming commercial success (they've still sold over 32 million albums worldwide from the seven they have released however which isn't that bad really). The Offspring have always been a fantastic band, and having hated both Green Day's and Rancid's last albums, The Offspring remain the only band of the aforementioned three to have sustained my interest over the years. For those looking to listen to the music of The ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Offspring (The)

...is only available on the Greatest Hits. The CD is a pretty groovy gift to buy for a teenage punk rocking kid, and if you haven't got any of the other albums and like the Offspring, you'll love this, as it contains only songs that were actually released as a single, so it'll be worth it to buy. However, if you've got Smash, Americana, Ixnay and Conspiracy, theres nothing really new here, and its definetly not worth the full price of £16.99. ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Offspring (The)

The Offspring's Greatest hits album is a compilation of all their released singles plus a new track - 'Can't repeat'. I would recommend this album if you are into The Offspring, of course. Also if youare looking for some easy listening music with rocky riffs and some amazing lyrics. Despite the choices made for the songs on the cd, I believe that there could have been a little more variety as most of the songs sound pretty much the same at times. ...
...opposed to their older, finer songs. Another thing which is slightly doisappointing is the overall look of their album case and inlay, compared to previous albums the overall look is rather dull in comparison. Overall I would recommend this Cd as it is value for money and a good listen. ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Offspring (The)

Sound: There are many styles of music in this record. The songs are the singles from pretty much all the albums, and their music has evolved over the years. There's also a new song called "Can't Repeat" and it's pretty good. To name a few other songs; Pretty Fly, Original Prankster, Come Out And Play, Why Don't You Get A Job, The Kids Aren't Alright and Want You Bad (these aren't all the songs, I'm just naming a few). In my opinion these songs are ...
...songs. There's also a bonus track, which is the WiseGuy's remix of The Kids Aren't Alright. I think its pretty crap because its like a dance version of it. Oh and mine (maybe not yours) had a hidden track, but I don't know this song. (Incase your CD does have it, its around 5:50 of Kids Aren't Alright WiseGuys Remix). // 10 Lyrics: The lyrics are awesome in most songs. My favorite lyrics are those to "Want You Bad." They're pretty hilarious. Most ...
