Ignition - Offspring

I used to lock my self in my bedroom and listen for hours straight before going to football practises or games.. Would put me in the zone, big time, to go ...  Read the complete review

Southern Californian band ‘The Offspring’ are one of the biggest selling punk bands of recent years, popular for their catchy choruses, accessible and cheery guitar riffs and slightly childish sense of humour that appeal to young people across the world. As the band became increasingly popular throughout the nineties, their sound became more commercial and less aggressive punk rock and claims that the band had ‘sold out’ were very quickly voiced: of course they had, that’s what ‘adapting’ means. I’m not a fan of the band’s recent releases, but it was their 1997 album ‘Ixnay on the Hombre’ that got me into music in general (there you go, that’s where the blame ...  Read the complete review

The Offspring, A band that most people will have heard of at some point. This is mainly due to the annoying singles, "Pretty fly (for a white guy)" and "Original Prankster". Now what most wont know, is that they were once a very good, Powerful, Political rocking punk band that didnt need gimicks to sell an album. I remember being back at school and raving on about how great these were, People would just laugh at me! Then a few years later and they release the above named singles and again everyone is laughing at me for loving them so much, Life sucks! Anyway the Two main reasons i loved them so much were this album and its ...  Read the complete review

Often the most overlooked album, "Ignition" was the Offspring's second album, released in 1992. The first two labums were produced while the Offspring were still a relatively underground band, and as such the sound quality is poorer than on their later albums, but as for content the album is, for me, on par with the self-titled album and their two most recent ones, "Americana" and "Conspiracy of One." I don't think the Offspring actually have a "worst" album. The album ends up coming in a little short (at about thirty seven minutes), but is worth buying if you feel the need for some older punk rock music. I ...  Read the complete review

INTRO: after releasing the partly successful Self Titled album in 1989 on Nemesis Records, the Offspring toured for almost 3 years straight. then in 1992, the band recorded their follow up, 'Ignition'. This album, was more of a straight up Nihlistic punk album then their self titled. The songs seemed more energetic then the bands previous effort, and even today, you can see that it stands up well against all of their albums. The break-neck speed of each track, shows what the band were all about "back in the day". BAND: Noodles - Guitar Greg K - Bass Ron Welty - Drums Dexter Holland - Vocals ALBUM: 1 - Session ...  Read the complete review
