And when I say "new" I mean it's really like 5 months old but I just saw it for the first time.

Yikes. The best part about this is that the singer looks like Biff when he's at the podium.

"Hello...McFly..."

Aside from that, I remember Offspring were real badass in junior high. They jumped the shark with "Pretty Fly." My first rock concert though. :thumbsup:

The best part is when he raps and drops "LOL" in there. Cutting-edge!

The lyrics are better than the lyrics to THE FIXER though.

I think they're on par with Life Wasted

I don't know well it's hard to explain
But it just seems like things are just kind of insane

You're always saying that there's something wrong
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along

as much as the fixer's lyrics are bad - this one is worse, please - they really try too hard to be cool and fail. and the video for the fixer is 1000x better than this uninspired waste of money. it's not saying much but the offspring's gimmick is really tired and cliché while (even if we dislike The Fixer) PJ's going places.
and the offspring sucked, sucks and will suck.

I don't download or upload music so I can't help you there but I reckon it should be pretty easy to find.

I guess whether you'd like it or not depends on your feelings towards the early-nineties indie punk scene from labels like Epitaph and Lookout. It's not for everybody (and especially serious musicians tend to write it off very quickly) but I have a soft spot for that type of music and within that context, Ignition is one of the best albums of its era.

This is one of my favorite songs from that period


Shortly thereafter (post 1994) they started to suck quite badly.

Sounds like the actually have gone back to their roots. This could be from ten years ago, but it's similar to their filler ten years ago. Video is kinda annoying too.

thats on the faculty soundtrack right?

Thats a pretty interesting soundtrack overall. As much as everyone hates Creed, their cover of "im 18" is good. The Morello/Layne Staley Another Brick in the Wall is worth a listen as well

I LOL'd.

I also LOL'd when the Offspring guy (whatever-his-name-is, I never liked them) says 'All I know is, Shit is fucked up.' That was kinda funny. But bad.

Oh. My. God. :shock:

That was shameful. The lyrics, the video, the music, the blatantly aging band, the line "Shit is fucked up" over and over again... Absolutely shameful.

And to think, I have Offspring CD's in my collection (early, not later)... :shake:
