Yup, me too, they a gateway band, their infrequent collaborations w Jello learned me about Dead Kennedys. Thanks guys Also Dexter once said that if it wasn't for Nirvana being a hit band they would never stand a chance, so thanks Kurt Cobain
Great video - I’ve been enjoying going through your channel! I’m an old guy - bought Smash when it came out! Hadn’t really kept up w the band past Conspiracy of One. Checked out Rise and Fall because of this vid. Loved it. Ordered it on Amazon right away!
Great list! To me, their self-titled debut ("The Offspring") is their best album. It's certainly my favorite from them. Don't get me wrong, they have several great albums that I love, it's just something about the debut that hits me in a different way. Maybe it's the rawness, or the clear T.S.O.L. and Dead Kennedys influence, or the just general darkness of the record that makes me want to listen to it the most. I agree with what you said about Ignition. That album is great, but I wouldn't say it's THE best or anything. It does have some great songs on it though (Session, L.A.P.D., etc.).
My favorite part of ranking video’s is the wtf moment when someone puts an album where it supposedly doesn’t belong. This of course happened when you put rage and grace #2. Initially I thought it was a mediocre album but about 2 years ago I went to see them and prior to said show I dusted off all of my old albums and that one really grew on me!!!!! Trust in you is one of my all time favs! I don’t think I’d put this #2 put 3 or 4 fa shor nice ranking!!!
Ignition is my favorite album by far. I got into offspring with Smash when I was a very young kid in the mid 90's, then found ignition off of columbia cd pamphlets, if any of you boomers remember that. And I liked it ok at first, but the more I listened to it the more I fell in love. Other than that it's a very solid list. You like the same sound that I do from them, and I have a feeling that if we met each other at a bar we would be immediate close friends!
I still really enjoy them. Offspring has for most part been really solid except for 1 album. 10 Days go By (1/5, yeah this album was a dud) 9 Let the Bad Times roll (2.5/5, it’s a Mixed bag. 50% is good 50% is bad) 8 The Offspring (3/5, it’s a solid start to a solid Discog) 7 Splinter (3.5/5 it’s a really fun album. I do love how weird this album gets, not all the time but still good album) 6 Americana (3.5/5 I LOVE the 1st half of this record, but it kinda drags in the 2nd half though to my opinion) 5 Ignition (4/5 big step up from the Debut, an improvement in any way) 4 Conspiracy of One (4/5 My 1st Offspring album I ever listened to. I do have a bias towards this album and also I LOVE Original Prankster) 3 Rise and Fall Rage and Grace (4.5/5 amazing album. Their last amazing album they have made) 2 Ixnay on the Hombre (5/5 one of the best follow ups to a Masterpiece. I Love every song on here. Gone Away might be my all time favorite Offspring song, that song is so heart wrenching. Also 🖕FFDP for Ruining this song) 1 Smash (5/5, I mean it’s SMASH, This will forever be their magnum opus, nothing will top this album, Self Esteem, Come out and Play, Bad Habit, Gotta Get away might be their 4 most popular songs)
FYI back in the AOL days I had put the "Kill the president" lyrics up in my AOL bio, and some soccer mom that I was trolling had called the secret service on me. Long story short, the SS came to my mom's house threatening to take me to jail until I showed him the CD pamphlet and said, "then I'll be in jail with dexter!!!! I can't wait to meet him"
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 I think I was about 18 when it came out, I'd only ever been a casual fan. But that album was so solid all the way through. Hammerhead is such a great song.
Great video! Here’s my list 10 let the bad times roll 9 rise fall rage and grace 8 the offspring 7 splinter 6 days go by 5 ignition 4 conspiracy 3 smash 2 americana 1 ixnay on the hombre
This is a very cool list!! I can honestly admit that the Smash was the first cd I ever owned 😊 I was like 11 back then and I’ve always liked Offspring since!!
Nice. One if my fave punk bands is Lit. Love to see a ranking of those records. Back in 95 these guys were known as a glam band Razzle. They had one EP.....try to find it on CZcams.
1. The Offspring, Ignition, Smash, Ixnay on the Hombre, Americana, Conspiracy of One, Splinter. 2. Days go by 9. Let the Bad Times Roll 10. Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace
Good list. My personal ranking: 1. Smash 2. Americana 3. Ixnay 4. Rise & Fall 5. Self titled 6. Ignition 7. Conspiracy 8. Bad Times 9. Splinter 10. Days go by
Good review man! I feel like The Offspring discography is kind of a tough one to rank seeing as The Offspring are pretty consistently good. Name any of their albums and I can list at least a handful of highlights. I was surprised by the order, which is part of what makes a ranking video fun! I feel like you are probably the only person who would rank ignition lower than the debut. I was also surprised to see Rise And Fall at the number two spot! I know people like that album well enough but I feel like people tend to scold bands for moving into more accessible or ballad-heavy albums. A welcome change to see a more recent release get some love. As far as my personal favorite album, that's tough. When I was younger I would have emphatically said Ixnay On The Hombre. Over the years however, Splinter has worked it's way into my brain. Every song on both of those albums is either good or great from start to finish. Pure ear candy! So yeah, Ixnay or Splinter. Let The Bad Times Roll is pretty new and I'm still formulating my opinion on it, but so far it's looking like I'd rank it pretty darn high. I've already picked out some highlights such as the title track, This Is Not Utopia, We Never Have Sex Anymore and Hassan Chop which just sounds fucking cool! Still, there ain't a bad song on the record.
Does anybody have the version of the debut with the song “Kill the President “? I do and apparently that one is hard to get. I should probably take it outta my car since it’s a relic but I love that album so damn much!
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 In order to get that song I actually ordered an old copy of the album manufactured in 1995. It’s one of the best songs on the debut, shame they cut it
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 I have that version I got it at a used CD and viynal store... By the way love the vids I got all the offspring albums on cd frocking love the offspring and your channel keep up the good work dude👍
From what I've listened to: 1. Conspiracy of One 2. Americana (1 and 2 can change any day) 3. Smash 4. Ixnay 5. Rise and Fall 6. S/t One of my favorite bands of all time that I just never get sick of. Most people write them off as immature kid music but idc what anyone says they'll always be special to me.
The offspring is my favorite band and I agree with your choices maybe for me I'd have Americana in second and Ixnay in third, Smash in one. Great video dude.
Have you done a fear factory ranking? I’ll take a look. But dude, Prong would be a dope ranking. Every time I search for a ranking on them, only one comes up, and doesn’t even rank all of Prong’s albums. I watch your rankings because you’re thorough, descriptive, and we share similar tastes. Keep up the good work.
That poster of the original Halloween II is literally fire. Also the list is legit. I would even go as far as to say Smash is a landmark album across genres of guitar music. It's absolutely perfect.
I'm on a mission. to listen to all of the Offspring albums, I got 2 more left, right now it is such a tough journey they started out pretty rough in my opinion with self titled, but ignition at the moment is my favourite album by them, that can change Smash is incredible and a very close second I thought Ixnay was very average for the longest time until I listened to the songs I originally didn't like, only this time I loved them. Americana was the first Offspring I bought and listened to and was also the first album I bought ever, nowadays i like it but I don't love it and now we hit the rough patch of their discography. Conspiracy is forgettable for me, it started amazingly but started to dip as it went on and some of the songs didn't sound like the band at all. I despised Splinter the very first time I listened to it but after a few minutes of thinking about what I listened to, it's not BAD it's just bad for an Offspring album. I listened to F&R,R&G yesterday and it is easily my least favourite Offspring album, it had good stuff but the rest was either the most generic late 00s punk rock music, stuff that sounds NOTHING like the Offspring or just flat out garbage.I'm very hesitant to call that a good album, the other post prime stuff, yeah sure it's good. the next album to listen to is Days go by and i've heard bad stuff about it and I listened to Gone Away - 2021 and.. oh man this is going to be tough. I've heard so many different rankings from people and I think it's really interesting how some people's least favourite can be someones favourite and whatever whatever. I might be wrong going into these later albums expecting the old band (I gave up at R&F, I just knew it wasn't going to be the same) I love this band but they are so far from what they used to be and it is kinda painful but hey good video
Fan since 1999 so my top 10 would be 10 Let the bad times 9 Days Go By 8 Splinter 7 Conspiracy 6 Rise And Fall 5 Offspring 4 Ignition 3 Americana 2 Ixnay 1 Smash
Me 1. Ixnay on the Hombre 2. Rise and Fall. Rage and Grace 3. Smash 4. Americana 5, Ignition 6. Days Go By 7. Conspiracy of One 8. The Offspring 9. Splinter 10. Let the Bad Times Roll
My top ten: 1-Ignition 2-Smash 3-Americana 4-Coo 5-Ixnay 6-Splinter 7-self titled 8-LTBTR 9-RAFRAG 10-DGB Rise and fall is very, very weak record. Green day cover. Generic. Hugs from Brazil.
Their album ranking for me is essentially the same chronological order as they released them. It's not that they necessarily got worse as they went on...they just went more commerical, more novelty tracks, more filler. The self titled album is probably the only exception as it sort of fluctuates on my list, I have to be in a certain mood for it. I will say, I've always found Splinter to be quite underrated. They really had the foundation for a great album. Lots of great tracks and a good back to basics style. However the shortness of the album and throwaway songs like The Worst Hangover Ever just killed the vibe. Had they went back and reworked a few things it definitely would have had potential. As it is the good tracks stand among their best, IMO.
My ranking: 1. Smash (10/10) 2. Ixnay (10/10) 3. Ignition (9/10) 4. Americana (9/10) 5. Rise and Fall (8/10) 6. Splinter (7/10) 7. Let the Bad Times roll (7/10) 8. Days Go By (6/10) 9. Conspiracy of One (6/10) 10. S/T (6/10)
1. Smash (8,5/10) 2. Ignition (8,25/10) 3. Americana (8/10) 4. Ixnay on the Hombre (8/10) 5. The Offspring (7,75/10) 6. Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (7,5/10) 7. Conspiracy of One (7,5/10) 8. Splinter (7,25/10) 9. Days Go By (6,5/10) 10. Let the Bad Times Roll (6/10)
"The Offspring always know how to open up an album with a punch" This was always a staple of their albums. After I got to intimately know them through smash and ignition, I KNEW that every new album would open up with some of the most vibrant shit they had. It is a great recipe to just get you into an album head first.
My list 1. Smash 2. Americana 3. Xnay on the Hombre 4. Ignition 5. Splinter 6. Self-titled 7. Conspiracy of One 8. Rise Fall Rage and Grace 9. At this point it doesnt matter cause i thought the last 2 albums equally sucked. 🤷♂️
Conspiracy of One would probably actually be one my my favourite albums, it's fantastic. Probably beaten ever so slightly by Ixnay, which has my favourite track Gone Away on it. Smash is very good too and is probably equal with Conspiracy. So my rankings would probably be something like: 1. Ixnay on the Hombre 2. Smash/Conspiracy of One 3. Americana 4. Splinter 5. Ignition/Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace 6. The Offspring 7. Days Go By 8. Let the Bad Times Roll
My favorites are Americana Conspiracy of One and the first album lol I like Smash but I never thought it was their best. They never shoulda changed the album cover. The newer cover sucks lol
1. Ignition 2. Smash 3. Americana 4. Conspiracy Of One 5. Ixnay On The Hombre 6. The Offspring 7. Splinter 8. Let The Bad Times Roll 9. Rise and fall 10. Days Go By. I love 7 and up dearly and there isnt a lot in it for me. New record is decent but it’s just not as good as everything else. Rise and Fall and Days I find i rarely if ever listen to.
I love every album even Days Go By. Problem with Bad Times is wasted tracks like the last song and that classical cover plus new version of old songs and a 6 year old single. There's only 8 actual new songs.
I became an Offspring fan in the summer of 2000, so CO1 was the first album I consciously waited for. If they have a true sell-out album, for me it's Rise and Fall. So much of it is either unabashedly radio-friendly or lacks their own personality - or both. Ballads (Fix You, Kristy, A Lot Like Me to an extent), super polished dancy pop rock (You're Gonna Go Far Kid), sweet reagge-rock-whatever this is (Let's Hear It For Rock Bottom)... I also found this album to be very derivative. Half-Truism sounds suspiciously like Helena by MCR, Rise and Fall sounds like a second rate American Idiot, the verse of Nothingtown recycles Want You Bad... And Hammerhead which rocks is basically two songs glued together in the middle - and I don't like the production. Essentially the last 3 albums are my least favorites and the first 3-4 are among my favorites. I think Ignition and Smash are their best records, there was a permanent shift of approach that started with Ixnay and continues to this day. PS. Splinter is criminally underrated. It feels different, sure but so much of it is cool fast punk songs. Worst Hangover Ever fucking sucks though. Aside from that & Hit That ("the goofy song" of the record, take it or leave it), the rest of the album is much more consistent than CO1. PS2. Actually CO1 didn't age that great either, take Living in Chaos as proof. However the production is very good, thanks to Brendan O'Brien
You're right man!! Rise and fall is nothing compared to CO1 and Splinter (even if also Splinter has a lot of songs that are similar to other songs of previous records in the melody), only someone that started to listening to Offspring with Rise and fall can appreciate it...
Right..i stopped at #9 to say this..listen to the test pressing version of L.T.B.T.R, its way better (obviously they was only 200 versions worldwide,which i have one. but hopefully you can find a uploaded version of the album). I'll continue watching now. Obviously it's your list so not going to re correct you on everything it's your personal opinion
Here's my ranking: 10: Let the Bad Times Roll 9: Days Go By 8: Ignition 7: Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace 6: Self Titled 5: Splinter 4: Ixnay on the Hombre 3: Smash 2: Conspiracy of One 1: Americana
Agreed dude. Had the dropped Hangover and Prison, wrote a few more solid songs it would have been up there with their 90s stuff. Solid album, but too short and a few bad songs.
@@TURB0x6 As a suggestion, once you dump Hangover and Prison, add Defy You, Can't Repeat and Next To You (from the Greatest Hits) in their place, and rearrange the tracklist.
I know all their hit songs, but albums I’ve heard in full, and possibly only once each, are “Smash”, “Ixnay...” and the new album. They’re fine, but I’m not really into Dexter’s voice tbh.
Dexter's voice probably sounds best on Conspiracy of One, I'd say. Songs like Come Out Swinging are produced very very well and the production really compliments his voice.
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 actually, I’d put Rise and Fall seventh. The first half is strong along with Stuff is Messed Up. Didn’t really like anything else on the back half of that album though
Here's my list, no one asked, no one care, but I wanted to share it" 10. Days Go By, their weakest album but I don't hate it, there are cool songs like "Dividing By Zero" and "Slim Pickens" 9. Let The Bad Times Roll, it's very short and some songs weren't necessary (Gone Away piano version), 50% of the album is freaking cool, especially "Hassan Chop" 8. The Offspring, I love it, even when the production isn't the best, which is logical, best songs in here "Elders" and "Jennifer Lost The War" 7. Splinter, I recognize the lack of consistency, but there are songs that I absolutely love like "The Noose" and "Lightning Rod" 6. Rise And Fall, the first 4 tracks are incredible, it's a risky album, though, but in general it's really good 5. Conspiracy Of One, my first Offspring record, this is just full of nostalgia, best tracks "Dammit, I Changed Again" and "Million Miles Away" 4. Ixnay On The Hombre, straight forward punk rock album, no complaints about it 3. Ignition, to me no skipping tracks in here, one of the most underrated punk rock albums ever 2. Smash, it's just perfect, not much new to say about it 1. Americana, this may be the most especial album for me ever, I grew up listening to it every single day, that's way I put it in the first place 😂
I love Offspring because they unite badass riffs, drive punk and melodic vocals. i've seen people compare them to Blink-182 or Green Day, and that sucks. Maybe these bands are cool but they are not as cool as the Offspring. I always tried to find band like Offspring, but there is no. The most akin bands in my opinion are Pennywise and Ten Foot Pole. Bad Religion is different a bit a lot. And Pornofilmy sucks. This is my ranking: 10 - While doing this ranking I forgot that Rise and Fall exists. So... 10th place 9 - Days Go By: There are cool songs like 'Hurting As One' or 'Dividing by Zero', but other songs are boring or Crushing California 8 - Americana: I hate Americana, Like, Everything was nice and than BOOM, Offspring is Pop-punk. 7 - Let The Bad Times Roll: Guys are getting old. Hassan Chop is cool, and other stuff sound like Bad Religion. i love Bad Religion so i'll put it higher than Americana 6 - The Offspring: The alboom is just very cool, nothing more, but I think they should re-record it 5 - Splinter: Just the same as you said in video. But Lighting Rod is too cool. 4 - Conspiracy Of One: 2000s, skates, pepsi, MTV 3 - Ixnay On Hombre: There are only 2 albums in these world that I can listen from the start till the end without rewind, and Ixnay is the first 2 - Ignition: The most badass thing I've ever heard 1 - Smash: Thats the second album that i can listen without rewind. I love Ignition because its badass and Ixnay because its drive, and smash is balanced between them perfectly
The Offspring My Favorite Classic Metal Band And One Of My Second Top Favorite Classic Metal Band In The World And I Also Like Bad Religion Too And Bad Religion Is One Of My First Top Favorite Classic Metal In The World You Have Any CD Discography By Bad Religion You Bad Religion CD Collection And Bad Religion T-Shirt And You'll Be Able To Do A Review Video On CD Discography Album By From Bad Religion And I Also Like Def Leppard Ozzy Osbourne Aerosmith Pantera Bon Jovi Motorhead Green Day Nirvana Soundgarden Alice In Chains Queen Bad Religion Megadeth White Zombie Metallica Rob Zombie Mötley Crüe INXS And Many More Classic Metal Band And But My All Time Top Favorite Classic Metal Band Are Bad Religion And The Offspring And They're Are Great Classic Metal Band In The World.
The Offspring albums ranked: 1.Ignition (1992) 2. Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (2008) 3. Ixnay on the Hombre (1997) 4. Smash (1994) 5. Americana (1998) 6. Splinter (2003) 7. The Offspring (1989) 8. Conspiracy of One (2000) 9. Let the Bad Times Roll (2021) 10. Days Go By (2012)
I stopped listening to them after Splinter, because they just couldn't stop putting silly songs on their albums. Smash came out when I was 13, and I've been a huge fan ever since. For a long time, they were my favorite band. As far as ranking them, I wouldn't even place their three latest albums on the list. I pretty much put everything after Splinter in a suck basket together, despite that they do come through on a few songs on each album when they are true to the speed rock sound. But Days Go By, Rise and Fall, and Let the Bad Times Roll are all equally the worst albums and really shouldn't be categorized with the early material. Next, I would also place Splinter and Conspiracy of One together in a basket ranking (possibly including Americana), and I would say these albums are definitely better than their three most recent. And again, I really like their speed rock (or "punk") songs from each album. If they would have just never included any of those silly, joke songs, then I could at least take more albums seriously. So this list is based on the actual speed punk sound from each album. 10) Days Go By 9) Let the Bad Times Roll 8) Rise and Fall 7) Conspiracy of One 6) Splinter 5) Offspring 4)Americana 3) Ignition 2) Ixnay on the Hombre 1) SMASH
I like all of their albums besides Days Go By. That album has 3 good songs and a bunch of garbage that contains their worst songs like Cruising California and OC Guns
1) Smash 2) Ixnay On The Hombre 3) Americana 4) Conspiracy Of One 5) Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace 6) Splinter 7) Ignition 8) The Offspring 9) Let The Bad Times Roll 10) Days Go By
10. Days Go By 9. Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace 8. Let The Bad Times Roll 7. Splinter 6. Conspiracy Of One 5. Ignition 4. The Offspring 3. Ixnay On The Hombre 2. Smash 1. Americana Best songs off albums (These aren't ranked): 10) Dividing By Zero/Slim Pickens Does The Right Thing & Rides The Bomb To Hell. 9) O.C Life (If not You're Gonna Go Far, Kid) 8) The Opioid Diaries 7) Da Hui 6) Dammit, I Changed Again 5) L.A.P.D 4) Kill The President (if not, then Beheaded) 3) Gone Away 2) Bad Habit 1) The whole album, because I have heard it millions of times over & over. But their worst songs: 10) Crusin California (Bumpin' In My Trunk). This is easily one of the worst songs they could have done. 9) Rise & Fall, or Let's Hear It For Rock Bottom 8) Gone Away 2021 or Lullaby 7) Never Gonna Find Me 6) Living In Chaos 5) No Hero or Nothing From Something 4) Demons 3) Leave It Behind 2) Not The One 1) Pretty Fly Reprise (I know this is a bad choice, but still. It's pretty bad) And oh my god I want more Offspring Stuff.
My Ranking : 1 - Americana (9/10) 2 - Smash (8,5/10) 3 - Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (8,5/10) 4 - Ixnay on the Hombre (8/10) 5 - Conspiracy of One (7,5/10) 6 - Splinter (5,5/10) 7 - Days Go By (5/10) 8 - Let the Bad Times Roll (4/10) 9 - Ignition (2/10) 10 - The Offspring (1/10) I'm still waiting for the ultimate great album to give 10/10 xD
10. The Offspring (0/5, sinful, dumpster fire) 9. Ignition (1/5, terrible) 8. Ixnay on the Hombre (2/5, poor) 7. Splinter (2/5, poor) 6. Conspiracy of One (2/5, poor) 5. Days Go By (3/5, decent) 4. Americana (3/5, decent) 3. Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (3/5, decent) 2. Let the Bad Times Roll (4/5, great) 1. Smash (5/5, perfect)
Oh wow. I know everyone has an opinion but to call the debut a "sinful dumpster fire" and Ignition "terrible" is just... unimaginable to me. Out of curiosity, what is so terrible about them?
@@toddpacker4683 Smash is still the Offspring's best album. I loved the new album, especially the Bugs Bunny sample at the beginning of one of the songs, which is "HASSAN CHOP!"
Also Americana is absolutely the sell out moment What i've found is they hide their awesome punk rock under loads of poppy shit For instance Days go by has the last 2 tracks that are best played as a medley,Bad times has Hassan Chop and others
If it wasn't for The Offspring, I wouldn't be into punk rock. I absolutely love it
Yup definitely important band for me at a young age!
yup and same with misfits for me
@@gglovesgorillazmj7784 yessssss!
The Offspring have proven how successful punk rock music can really be.
Yup, me too, they a gateway band, their infrequent collaborations w Jello learned me about Dead Kennedys. Thanks guys
Also Dexter once said that if it wasn't for Nirvana being a hit band they would never stand a chance, so thanks Kurt Cobain
Great video - I’ve been enjoying going through your channel!

Lol rise and fall just came out at the right time for me!
Nice review.
You seem like a cool guy; so I subscribed :)
Keep up the good work
"LiL'JpD."
Ignition is my favorite album by far. I got into offspring with Smash when I was a very young kid in the mid 90's, then found ignition off of columbia cd pamphlets, if any of you boomers remember that. And I liked it ok at first, but the more I listened to it the more I fell in love. Other than that it's a very solid list. You like the same sound that I do from them, and I have a feeling that if we met each other at a bar we would be immediate close friends!
By far in My honest opinion. The first three!
I still really enjoy them. Offspring has for most part been really solid except for 1 album.
10 Days go By (1/5, yeah this album was a dud)
9 Let the Bad Times roll (2.5/5, it’s a Mixed bag. 50% is good 50% is bad)
8 The Offspring (3/5, it’s a solid start to a solid Discog)
7 Splinter (3.5/5 it’s a really fun album. I do love how weird this album gets, not all the time but still good album)
6 Americana (3.5/5 I LOVE the 1st half of this record, but it kinda drags in the 2nd half though to my opinion)
5 Ignition (4/5 big step up from the Debut, an improvement in any way)
4 Conspiracy of One (4/5 My 1st Offspring album I ever listened to. I do have a bias towards this album and also I LOVE Original Prankster)
3 Rise and Fall Rage and Grace (4.5/5 amazing album. Their last amazing album they have made)
2 Ixnay on the Hombre (5/5 one of the best follow ups to a Masterpiece. I Love every song on here. Gone Away might be my all time favorite Offspring song, that song is so heart wrenching. Also 🖕FFDP for Ruining this song)
1 Smash (5/5, I mean it’s SMASH, This will forever be their magnum opus, nothing will top this album, Self Esteem, Come out and Play, Bad Habit, Gotta Get away might be their 4 most popular songs)
I feel the self titled is so underrated!
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 they didn’t find their own sound they were blatantly taking the sound of tsol and I don’t blame them it’s their first record
Great ranking! Thanks for introducing me to Greta Van Fleet a few videos back! I can’t believe how young they are!!!
Definitely impressed me with this newest album!
FYI back in the AOL days I had put the "Kill the president" lyrics up in my AOL bio, and some soccer mom that I was trolling had called the secret service on me. Long story short, the SS came to my mom's house threatening to take me to jail until I showed him the CD pamphlet and said, "then I'll be in jail with dexter!!!! I can't wait to meet him"
Nice to see Rise & Fall... so high in your list. Love that album.
That album was just released at the perfect time for me
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 I think I was about 18 when it came out, I'd only ever been a casual fan. But that album was so solid all the way through. Hammerhead is such a great song.
Great video! Here’s my list
10 let the bad times roll
9 rise fall rage and grace
8 the offspring
7 splinter
6 days go by
5 ignition
4 conspiracy
3 smash
2 americana
1 ixnay on the hombre
This is a very cool list!! I can honestly admit that the Smash was the first cd I ever owned 😊 I was like 11 back then and I’ve always liked Offspring since!!
They do not get enough consideration for being the greatest rock band of the 90s but they'd have a strong case.
Nice. One if my fave punk bands is Lit. Love to see a ranking of those records. Back in 95 these guys were known as a glam band Razzle. They had one EP.....try to find it on CZcams.
Thts pretty interesting!
1. The Offspring, Ignition, Smash, Ixnay on the Hombre, Americana, Conspiracy of One, Splinter.
2. Days go by
9. Let the Bad Times Roll
10. Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace
Good list. My personal ranking:
1. Smash
2. Americana
3. Ixnay
4. Rise & Fall
5. Self titled
6. Ignition
7. Conspiracy
8. Bad Times
9. Splinter
10. Days go by
100% agree.
Good review man! I feel like The Offspring discography is kind of a tough one to rank seeing as The Offspring are pretty consistently good. Name any of their albums and I can list at least a handful of highlights. I was surprised by the order, which is part of what makes a ranking video fun! I feel like you are probably the only person who would rank ignition lower than the debut. I was also surprised to see Rise And Fall at the number two spot! I know people like that album well enough but I feel like people tend to scold bands for moving into more accessible or ballad-heavy albums. A welcome change to see a more recent release get some love. As far as my personal favorite album, that's tough. When I was younger I would have emphatically said Ixnay On The Hombre. Over the years however, Splinter has worked it's way into my brain. Every song on both of those albums is either good or great from start to finish. Pure ear candy! So yeah, Ixnay or Splinter. Let The Bad Times Roll is pretty new and I'm still formulating my opinion on it, but so far it's looking like I'd rank it pretty darn high. I've already picked out some highlights such as the title track, This Is Not Utopia, We Never Have Sex Anymore and Hassan Chop which just sounds fucking cool! Still, there ain't a bad song on the record.
Rise and Fall just hit me at the perfect time and imprinted itself in my mind lol
Does anybody have the version of the debut with the song “Kill the President “? I do and apparently that one is hard to get. I should probably take it outta my car since it’s a relic but I love that album so damn much!
That’s the version I have!
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 In order to get that song I actually ordered an old copy of the album manufactured in 1995. It’s one of the best songs on the debut, shame they cut it
Check Discogs if you haven't yet
I do
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 I have that version I got it at a used CD and viynal store... By the way love the vids I got all the offspring albums on cd frocking love the offspring and your channel keep up the good work dude👍
1. Ignition
2. Splinter
3. Smash
4. Ixnay on the Hombre
5. Americana
6. Conspirasy of One
7. S/e
8. Let the Bad Times Roll
9. Days go by
10. RAFRAG
I’ve come to the conclusion I’m the only person who like RAFRAG
From what I've listened to:
1. Conspiracy of One
2. Americana (1 and 2 can change any day)
3. Smash
4. Ixnay
5. Rise and Fall
6. S/t
One of my favorite bands of all time that I just never get sick of. Most people write them off as immature kid music but idc what anyone says they'll always be special to me.
They're great!
The offspring is my favorite band and I agree with your choices maybe for me I'd have Americana in second and Ixnay in third, Smash in one. Great video dude.
Nice thanks dude!
Have you done a fear factory ranking? I’ll take a look. But dude, Prong would be a dope ranking. Every time I search for a ranking on them, only one comes up, and doesn’t even rank all of Prong’s albums. I watch your rankings because you’re thorough, descriptive, and we share similar tastes. Keep up the good work.
I’ve done fear factory! Prong would be fun
"rise, fall, rage and grace" is my favorite
I came here expecting to throw hands, but that’s all pretty reasonable. Smash can never be overrated
Smash is too good!
That was a rough countdown but to each their own lol
Ignition at number 7!?!?!
SIR!!!
That poster of the original Halloween II is literally fire.
Also the list is legit. I would even go as far as to say Smash is a landmark album across genres of guitar music. It's absolutely perfect.
I'm on a mission. to listen to all of the Offspring albums, I got 2 more left, right now it is such a tough journey
they started out pretty rough in my opinion with self titled, but ignition at the moment is my favourite album by them, that can change
Smash is incredible and a very close second
I thought Ixnay was very average for the longest time until I listened to the songs I originally didn't like, only this time I loved them.
Americana was the first Offspring I bought and listened to and was also the first album I bought ever, nowadays i like it but I don't love it
and now we hit the rough patch of their discography.
Conspiracy is forgettable for me, it started amazingly but started to dip as it went on and some of the songs didn't sound like the band at all.
I despised Splinter the very first time I listened to it but after a few minutes of thinking about what I listened to, it's not BAD it's just bad for an Offspring album.
I listened to F&R,R&G yesterday and it is easily my least favourite Offspring album, it had good stuff but the rest was either the most generic late 00s punk rock music, stuff that sounds NOTHING like the Offspring or just flat out garbage.I'm very hesitant to call that a good album, the other post prime stuff, yeah sure it's good.
the next album to listen to is Days go by and i've heard bad stuff about it and I listened to Gone Away - 2021 and.. oh man this is going to be tough.
I've heard so many different rankings from people and I think it's really interesting how some people's least favourite can be someones favourite and whatever whatever.
I might be wrong going into these later albums expecting the old band (I gave up at R&F, I just knew it wasn't going to be the same)
I love this band but they are so far from what they used to be and it is kinda painful
but hey good video
My number one favorite is Days Go By wish they made a vinyl makes me sad that a lot of people hate this album 🙁

6-Splinter
7-self titled
8-LTBTR
9-RAFRAG
10-DGB
Rise and fall is very, very weak record. Green day cover. Generic. Hugs from Brazil.
Their album ranking for me is essentially the same chronological order as they released them. It's not that they necessarily got worse as they went on...they just went more commerical, more novelty tracks, more filler.
The self titled album is probably the only exception as it sort of fluctuates on my list, I have to be in a certain mood for it.
I will say, I've always found Splinter to be quite underrated. They really had the foundation for a great album. Lots of great tracks and a good back to basics style. However the shortness of the album and throwaway songs like The Worst Hangover Ever just killed the vibe. Had they went back and reworked a few things it definitely would have had potential. As it is the good tracks stand among their best, IMO.
My ranking:
1. Smash (10/10)
2. Ixnay (10/10)
3. Ignition (9/10)
4. Americana (9/10)
5. Rise and Fall (8/10)
6. Splinter (7/10)
7. Let the Bad Times roll (7/10)
8. Days Go By (6/10)
9. Conspiracy of One (6/10)

Finally someone with same order :D
1. Smash (8,5/10)
2. Ignition (8,25/10)
3. Americana (8/10)
4. Ixnay on the Hombre (8/10)
5. The Offspring (7,75/10)
6. Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (7,5/10)
7. Conspiracy of One (7,5/10)
8. Splinter (7,25/10)
9. Days Go By (6,5/10)
10. Let the Bad Times Roll (6/10)
Very solid!
"The Offspring always know how to open up an album with a punch"
This was always a staple of their albums. After I got to intimately know them through smash and ignition, I KNEW that every new album would open up with some of the most vibrant shit they had. It is a great recipe to just get you into an album head first.
My list
1. Smash
2. Americana
3. Xnay on the Hombre
4. Ignition
5. Splinter
6. Self-titled
7. Conspiracy of One
8. Rise Fall Rage and Grace
9. At this point it doesnt matter cause i thought the last 2 albums equally sucked. 🤷♂️
Conspiracy of One would probably actually be one my my favourite albums, it's fantastic. Probably beaten ever so slightly by Ixnay, which has my favourite track Gone Away on it. Smash is very good too and is probably equal with Conspiracy. So my rankings would probably be something like:
1. Ixnay on the Hombre
2. Smash/Conspiracy of One
3. Americana
4. Splinter
5. Ignition/Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace
6. The Offspring
7. Days Go By
8. Let the Bad Times Roll
Conspiracy definitely surprised me when I relistened for this video!
Ixnay is the objective best
PACKMAAAAN
1. Smash
2. Ignition
3. The offspring
My favorites are Americana Conspiracy of One and the first album lol I like Smash but I never thought it was their best. They never shoulda changed the album cover. The newer cover sucks lol
1. Ignition
2. Smash
3. Americana
4. Conspiracy Of One
5. Ixnay On The Hombre
6. The Offspring
7. Splinter
8. Let The Bad Times Roll
9. Rise and fall
10. Days Go By.
I love 7 and up dearly and there isnt a lot in it for me. New record is decent but it’s just not as good as everything else. Rise and Fall and Days I find i rarely if ever listen to.
I love every album even Days Go By. Problem with Bad Times is wasted tracks like the last song and that classical cover plus new version of old songs and a 6 year old single. There's only 8 actual new songs.
I became an Offspring fan in the summer of 2000, so CO1 was the first album I consciously waited for. If they have a true sell-out album, for me it's Rise and Fall. So much of it is either unabashedly radio-friendly or lacks their own personality - or both. Ballads (Fix You, Kristy, A Lot Like Me to an extent), super polished dancy pop rock (You're Gonna Go Far Kid), sweet reagge-rock-whatever this is (Let's Hear It For Rock Bottom)... I also found this album to be very derivative. Half-Truism sounds suspiciously like Helena by MCR, Rise and Fall sounds like a second rate American Idiot, the verse of Nothingtown recycles Want You Bad... And Hammerhead which rocks is basically two songs glued together in the middle - and I don't like the production. Essentially the last 3 albums are my least favorites and the first 3-4 are among my favorites. I think Ignition and Smash are their best records, there was a permanent shift of approach that started with Ixnay and continues to this day.
PS. Splinter is criminally underrated. It feels different, sure but so much of it is cool fast punk songs. Worst Hangover Ever fucking sucks though. Aside from that & Hit That ("the goofy song" of the record, take it or leave it), the rest of the album is much more consistent than CO1.
PS2. Actually CO1 didn't age that great either, take Living in Chaos as proof. However the production is very good, thanks to Brendan O'Brien
Yeah splinter would be great if it didn’t have those weird songs they just don’t fit
You're right man!! Rise and fall is nothing compared to CO1 and Splinter (even if also Splinter has a lot of songs that are similar to other songs of previous records in the melody), only someone that started to listening to Offspring with Rise and fall can appreciate it...
Right..i stopped at #9 to say this..listen to the test pressing version of L.T.B.T.R, its way better (obviously they was only 200 versions worldwide,which i have one. but hopefully you can find a uploaded version of the album). I'll continue watching now. Obviously it's your list so not going to re correct you on everything it's your personal opinion
Now rank the hidden songs on the albums
Here's my ranking:
10: Let the Bad Times Roll
9: Days Go By
8: Ignition
7: Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace
6: Self Titled
5: Splinter
4: Ixnay on the Hombre
3: Smash
2: Conspiracy of One
1: Americana
Nooo poor Ignition!!
I think that an album that opens with
Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuuuckkk
..deserves the first place 😂😂
Lmao I was expecting it to be higher
Am I the only one here that thinks Splinter is under-rated? haha
It definitely has some great tracks on it
Agreed dude. Had the dropped Hangover and Prison, wrote a few more solid songs it would have been up there with their 90s stuff. Solid album, but too short and a few bad songs.
@@TURB0x6 As a suggestion, once you dump Hangover and Prison, add Defy You, Can't Repeat and Next To You (from the Greatest Hits) in their place, and rearrange the tracklist.
Nice!
Looking forward to the new fear factory album? How'd u feel about Burton leaving the band
Yeah I like Fear Factory! Don’t follow them too closely but love Obsolete, Mechanize and Genexus along with some other albums
I know all their hit songs, but albums I’ve heard in full, and possibly only once each, are “Smash”, “Ixnay...” and the new album. They’re fine, but I’m not really into Dexter’s voice tbh.
Dexter's voice probably sounds best on Conspiracy of One, I'd say. Songs like Come Out Swinging are produced very very well and the production really compliments his voice.
He’s definitely got a unique voice.. kinda like a higher Greg gaffin
Lost me after ignition....that was there second best...1st self titled
The self titled is really good!
I totally missed Days Go By. Just last year I got the info that this album even exists.
Didn’t miss much lol
1. Smash
2. Ignition
3. Ixnay
4. Americana
5. Offspring
6. Bad Times
7. Splinter
8. Conspiracy
9. Rise and Fall
10. Days Go By
I feel so alone in my rise and fall love
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 actually, I’d put Rise and Fall seventh. The first half is strong along with Stuff is Messed Up. Didn’t really like anything else on the back half of that album though
@@pairofjeansreviews2034 yes, i hate this album
6:20 *I'll be waiting
Here's my list, no one asked, no one care, but I wanted to share it"
10. Days Go By, their weakest album but I don't hate it, there are cool songs like "Dividing By Zero" and "Slim Pickens"
9. Let The Bad Times Roll, it's very short and some songs weren't necessary (Gone Away piano version), 50% of the album is freaking cool, especially "Hassan Chop"
8. The Offspring, I love it, even when the production isn't the best, which is logical, best songs in here "Elders" and "Jennifer Lost The War"
7. Splinter, I recognize the lack of consistency, but there are songs that I absolutely love like "The Noose" and "Lightning Rod"
6. Rise And Fall, the first 4 tracks are incredible, it's a risky album, though, but in general it's really good
5. Conspiracy Of One, my first Offspring record, this is just full of nostalgia, best tracks "Dammit, I Changed Again" and "Million Miles Away"
4. Ixnay On The Hombre, straight forward punk rock album, no complaints about it
3. Ignition, to me no skipping tracks in here, one of the most underrated punk rock albums ever
2. Smash, it's just perfect, not much new to say about it
1. Americana, this may be the most especial album for me ever, I grew up listening to it every single day, that's way I put it in the first place 😂
Solid!
It's crazy the albums everybody loves with offspring are the ones that I started not to like.
Hi dude what about nile?
I'll add them to the list!
I love Offspring because they unite badass riffs, drive punk and melodic vocals. i've seen people compare them to Blink-182 or Green Day, and that sucks. Maybe these bands are cool but they are not as cool as the Offspring. I always tried to find band like Offspring, but there is no. The most akin bands in my opinion are Pennywise and Ten Foot Pole. Bad Religion is different a bit a lot. And Pornofilmy sucks.
This is my ranking:
10 - While doing this ranking I forgot that Rise and Fall exists. So... 10th place
9 - Days Go By: There are cool songs like 'Hurting As One' or 'Dividing by Zero', but other songs are boring or Crushing California
8 - Americana: I hate Americana, Like, Everything was nice and than BOOM, Offspring is Pop-punk.
7 - Let The Bad Times Roll: Guys are getting old. Hassan Chop is cool, and other stuff sound like Bad Religion. i love Bad Religion so i'll put it higher than Americana
6 - The Offspring: The alboom is just very cool, nothing more, but I think they should re-record it
5 - Splinter: Just the same as you said in video. But Lighting Rod is too cool.
4 - Conspiracy Of One: 2000s, skates, pepsi, MTV
3 - Ixnay On Hombre: There are only 2 albums in these world that I can listen from the start till the end without rewind, and Ixnay is the first
2 - Ignition: The most badass thing I've ever heard
1 - Smash: Thats the second album that i can listen without rewind. I love Ignition because its badass and Ixnay because its drive, and smash is balanced between them perfectly
Rise and Fall good album ,but for me is like they did their best to do a American Idiot version but didn't clicked for them like it did for green day
I can actually hear that!
I dont know....i like let the bad times roll more then consiparacy of one and splinter and maybe even rise and fall
Conspiracy Of One Album was hard punk rock
The Offspring My Favorite Classic Metal Band And One Of My Second Top Favorite Classic Metal Band In The World And I Also Like Bad Religion Too And Bad Religion Is One Of My First Top Favorite Classic Metal In The World You Have Any CD Discography By Bad Religion You Bad Religion CD Collection And Bad Religion T-Shirt And You'll Be Able To Do A Review Video On CD Discography Album By From Bad Religion And I Also Like Def Leppard Ozzy Osbourne Aerosmith Pantera Bon Jovi Motorhead Green Day Nirvana Soundgarden Alice In Chains Queen Bad Religion Megadeth White Zombie Metallica Rob Zombie Mötley Crüe INXS And Many More Classic Metal Band And But My All Time Top Favorite Classic Metal Band Are Bad Religion And The Offspring And They're Are Great Classic Metal Band In The World.
The Offspring albums ranked:
1.Ignition (1992)
2. Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (2008)
3. Ixnay on the Hombre (1997)
4. Smash (1994)

7. The Offspring (1989)
8. Conspiracy of One (2000)
9. Let the Bad Times Roll (2021)
10. Days Go By (2012)
Genocide is their best song of all times.
It is a banger lol
I stopped listening to them after Splinter, because they just couldn't stop putting silly songs on their albums.
Smash came out when I was 13, and I've been a huge fan ever since. For a long time, they were my favorite band.
As far as ranking them, I wouldn't even place their three latest albums on the list.
I pretty much put everything after Splinter in a suck basket together, despite that they do come through on a few songs on each album when they are true to the speed rock sound. But Days Go By, Rise and Fall, and Let the Bad Times Roll are all equally the worst albums and really shouldn't be categorized with the early material.
Next, I would also place Splinter and Conspiracy of One together in a basket ranking (possibly including Americana), and I would say these albums are definitely better than their three most recent. And again, I really like their speed rock (or "punk") songs from each album.
If they would have just never included any of those silly, joke songs, then I could at least take more albums seriously.
So this list is based on the actual speed punk sound from each album.
10) Days Go By

8) Rise and Fall
7) Conspiracy of One
6) Splinter
5) Offspring

Days Go By is way better than Let the Bad Times Roll.. tracks 1 and 2 are some of their best songs ever.
You said “I’ll Be Watching” LOL it’s called “I’ll Be Waiting”
I like all of their albums besides Days Go By. That album has 3 good songs and a bunch of garbage that contains their worst songs like Cruising California and OC Guns
I agree with this!
Days Gone By is horrible lol I like 3 songs on it. I do like California Bumping lol and 2 others

Saw ignition at 7 and got an instant thumbs down.

3. Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace (3/5, decent)
2. Let the Bad Times Roll (4/5, great)
1. Smash (5/5, perfect)
Oh wow. I know everyone has an opinion but to call the debut a "sinful dumpster fire" and Ignition "terrible" is just... unimaginable to me. Out of curiosity, what is so terrible about them?
What an awful list
@@gergonikk Bad quality, much like some early recordings of certain bands such as Sepultura!
@@toddpacker4683 Smash is still the Offspring's best album. I loved the new album, especially the Bugs Bunny sample at the beginning of one of the songs, which is "HASSAN CHOP!"
@@robertsparling917 I agree with smash but ignition and Ixnay are top tier imo
Uhhh Americana is not a follow on from ixnay,its mostly a complete departure
Also Americana is absolutely the sell out moment
What i've found is they hide their awesome punk rock under loads of poppy shit
For instance Days go by has the last 2 tracks that are best played as a medley,Bad times has Hassan Chop and others
Smash is still in my top 10 albums of all time, easily.
None of the others come close.
Superunknown by Soundgarden and In Rainbows by Radiohead
