Smash - The Offspring


by Baptist

1994

California Punk

" Our Generation Sees The World Not The Same as Before!
We Might As Well just throw it all and live like there's no tomorrow!
There's no tomorrow! "

I do not really tend to show me neutral on this blog, but know before you start reading it will be worse for this column. Smash summarizes my college alone. In listening, I feel that my braces I still shear lips that I save to buy a Nintendo 64 cartridge or that I find myself on a bus with my class of 5th to Venice.

After a few albums remain highly confidential in Europe (but still very good) and a few years before the internationally recognized Americana, preceded Ixnay on the Hombre, Offspring emerged Smash , album essential 90s. Well, now, talking music. It's Time to Relax.

After a brief introduction, the album begins with Nitro (Youth Energy) . The title is very well found: this song is fast, efficient, and its chorus "There's no tomorrow ! Ooooooh ooooh! "you come into the skull at first listen even if you have a level of English schoolboy. From the beginning, the group highlights its strengths: speed and uninhibited guitar solos concise answer. The second piece, Bad Habit, is a bit surprising, but after the preliminaries played on bass and a few well-chosen words, The Offspring returns to its base using guitars eager. It must be admitted: throughout Smash , the group invents nothing but magnify the achievements of punk and grunge. Release Year Kurt Cobain's death, has no Smash complex to draw on influences from Seattle and Portland.
Genocide, Not the one alone So and are in line with the band's debut album: the guitars are aggressive and want to tape the battery lasts. Conversely, some songs suggest what would later Americana. Come out and play , with its passages of spoken vocals meet Dexter Holland, and What happened to you? and ska influences tend to have music more suited to California emissions devoted to MTV springbreak.

It appears clear that the time of the composition of this album the band Dexter Holland and Noodles, was overwhelmed with British punk and New York and particularly grunge. In 45 minutes, they give us the raw energy and wild. The California punk still had something to say and was proud. Blink 182, Greenday and the whole universe " American Pie" were then loaded plastic unscrupulous this beautiful building. Today there are only groups of label Hellcat Records to plant the black flag on the ruins.

The best conditions for listening to the album:
Outside of my personal memories with this album in my walkman radio / cassette, I think we need to dive back into the atmosphere of the time. So find a bad string of TNT which rebroadcasts a series produced by Aaron Spelling (Beverly Hills , Melrose Place etc. . ), turn off the sound, uncap a 7'up and listen to this album.

The song of the album: Self Esteem

The sequence of good taste: More than punk, grunge seems de rigueur for a sequence suitable. In Utero Nirvana for example, should please your ears.
