Offspring - Americana (20th Anniversary)

Maybe hanging out with Jello Biafra put the fun-loving spring in The Offspring's step. Or perhaps it was just the royalty checks, hot babes, and fast cars. Whatever the case, the band's fourth record, Americana, is the band's most lively offering to date, replacing angst and rage with energy and sarcasm. Musically, Americana offers no real revelations, but the songs are a bit craftier and more diverse than the rest of the Offspring oeuvre, veering haphazardly between anthemic punk metal, blistering hardcore, and near-psychedelic experimentation. 

The 1998 album features such anthems as "Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)", "Why Don't You Get a Job?", "The Kids Aren't Alright" and "She's Got Issues".

20th Anniversary Edition. Heavyweight vinyl produced by Round Hill Records in 2019. Gatefold sleeve. May include die-cut sticker sheet.
