PO: The Offspring "Americana"


Recommended Posts

I still listen to all my Reel Big Fish albums and enjoy them, so I am sympathetic to the idea of enjoying your middle school classics but, for whatever reason, Americana does not hold up at all for me. Smash is fine and Ixnay is almost not tolerable but Americana is really hard for me to get through.

That said, I did project the video from Pretty Fly on a giant screen on the dance floor at my wedding...

Opinions are like assholes and the majority stink. Personally I like Americana. The Offspring kickstarted my taste of “punk” music. Thank god, I could still be blasting Poison or Warrant. So maybe it’s just the nostalgia that still draws me in with The Offspring. Granted their newer records are sketchy at best, but if Smash, Dookie, Nevermind, or Punk In Drublic were never released I might still have long hair, ripped jeans, and still enjoy rock songs about women in multi-part harmonies. So I guess I could say they helped save my taste of music as my high school was hair band heaven. I owe them that at least. So I enjoyed the snide comments, thanks. It’s sold and this thread will die off again, and someone will have a decent Offspring record. :rolleyes:

Aside from the radio singles, which are atrocious, I think this album has some of the best Offspring music. The Kids Aren't Alright and the title track are great. But LOL at any idiot buying or selling this for $100. I paid $3 for an OG copy maybe 8 years ago. Would pay $3 again B)

Coming from someone who unironically likes most of this album, I'm surprised that the red ORG variant goes for around 100.
