Ugh I’m the proper thread this time.

I suggest we rename this book “1000 CDs a frat boy could buy at Wal-Mart”

"Oh hell yeah!!!" - Middle School me. You could not convince me in Grade 6 through 12 that this was not the best band ever. Now....meh.

Can't wait to blast "Bad Habit" in the office.

I’m forever greatful that I was introduced to the clash before all this nonsense and so even as a teen could just dismiss it!

 

[dbarila]

Fun fact...(OK maybe not...my first AOL Screen name was YouthEnergy182.

I was in college when this came out. It was irritating from the get go.

 

[TrainFan73]

I’m too lazy to go look but I believe I pulled yesterdays and todays in my personal project before embarking on this insanity.

If I was in college when this came out my feelings on it would have been vastly different.

 

[TrainFan73]

I also too lazy to use apostrophes or edit.

At least it isn’t the next album with the singles that shall not be mentioned.

What's particularly offensive about the singles from the next album?

What's particularly offensive about the singles from the next album?

Their existence.

 

[dbarila]

Their existence.

Meh. The singles from the next album were pretty in-offensive. I have a feeling he was talking about Americana though which was actually 2 albums after this one.

Ah ok. My mistake. They are the only two albums of theirs that even came near my consciousness. I remember a lad putting Americana on the cd player in our sixth form common room and then being immediately removed and it then being unceremoniously tossed from the second floor window…

Ha! I probably had Americana in my discman for 2 months straight after it came out. I've tried to re-visit it recently and it has aged poorly for me. I actually do enjoy listening to Smash though for nostalgic reasons. I'm going to give it a 4/5 because it was a big album for me back in the day and you all are going to do it dirty.

 

[TrainFan73]

I have never listened to any Offspring that wasn’t on this album.

Picture a band getting less mature as they age and catering to late 90's white guy bro culture but stopping before they reach Blink 182 levels of immaturity.

Did you manage to avoid shitty fly and the wank rip off of obla di obla da?
