The Offspring – The Offspring LP Discount

To most people, The Offspring are best known as the purveyors of the punk metal pop rock sound contained in Smash, their most commercially successful album. However, there is a decidedly traditional punk side to their music, a side that can be seen most clearly in this, their self-titled 1989 debut. Produced by punk stalwart Thom Wilson, this record captures The Offspring at their best – raw and raunchy, with a well-defined political awareness. The guitars screech more than thunder, the drums rattle instead of pound, and Dexter Holland s vocals threaten rather than growl. Standout tracks include: Jennifer Lost the War, Crossroads, Beheaded, Tehran and Kill the President.
