"smash" is easily among the best punk-rock albums ever made. IMHO the dense of very good songs as well as the possibility to listen through the whole album over and over again make it an exceptional piece of music.
I was born in 88 but never fully listened to this album fully until a year ago. It is the only album of any artist that I have been able to listen to without feeling the urge to skip a track.
Lost count of how many times I have listened to this album when I was a teen over and over and over and over again. May my old neighbours rest in peace!
Such a good album, almost 30 years later. Driving around as a Midwestern teen listening to this on the tape deck was as close to cool and rebellious as I ever felt 😂
My first concert was The Offspring. It was March 1995. I was almost 15. My brother took me to see them for my birthday. I was in love with Dexter. But this was the last song they played! The first song they played was the secret track guitar remix of "Come out and Play" It was an amazing show! I'm so glad I got to see them.
[Verse 1] Head over heels I've fit in before Now I don't want to do it no more I held it all in with blood on my face Built it up, man, so bad you can taste I don't slag no one, I don't even judge Don't give me shit ’cause I'm not gonna budge I just want to be who I want to be Guess that's hard for others to see [Chorus] I'm not a trendy asshole I do what I want I do what I feel like I'm not a trendy asshole I don't give a fuck If it's good enough for you ’Cause I'm alive [Verse 2] Smash is the way you feel all alone Like an outcast you're out on your own Smash is the way you deal with your life Like an outcast you're smashing your strife
I would sneak this CD out of my brother's room when he wasn't home (I wasn't allowed to listen to it because I was too young or whatever) and played it nearly every day for probably a year. Smash in particular was my favorite song. Haven't listened to it in a long time and can still remember every single word. This album is perfection in my mind!
I did this same thing with their song "Gone Away." My brother and I tried everything to record it off the radio and he got it first. So I would take it from him to listen to.
Hahaha I was just explaining that to my son (hes 14).we play music so I had to remind him how it was when it all began. Remember saving all your chour/lunch money to buy a cd and hope it was all good?Plus sometimes they where even better than expected! Or how bout that dial up internet with thousands of free AOL cds.....lol
I used to listen to this album when I was at the age of 12 or 13. It was one of the only albuns at that time that I listened from the biggining to the end without pulling any track. Now, 30 years later it goes the same way.
The ideas in these songs are better than I remember. Thanks for making the whole album available. My old CD doesn't play like it used to. Great album, a rare thing that every song adds value.
This Album Had and still has relevance in my life greatly.There is a lot of wisdom within the lyrics throughout the entirety of it; This Track Especially is highly meaningful even 27 yrs later
I remember skipping class early after selling some jazz cabbage, buying Smash on cassette, looked over, then randomly bought, Down- Nola and Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power. Since that very day... Life and my relationship with the guitar was not looked at the same way ever again.
< IGNITE the freshman record> was descent but - S MA S H - will always be their masterpiece, band has'nt put anything out as a whole that out does this record. 8yrs old whn i started listening 2this, still sounds good 20yrs later

@@the2ndcoming135 ya man i littetally need to hear smash one every few months and your comment just made me throw it on now while im packing to move and i hate packing so its a good one to listen to
Um álbum do caralho simplesmente! Da época que pegava o cd emprestado com quem tivesse pra gravar em k7 e tirava xerox da capa pra ter a letra das músicas. É geração atual nãos sabe o que é isso. Tinha que suar pra ter o que se gostava. Muito amor! Rock pra sempre❤
Phantoms Cry Offsprings second and third albums were on Epitaph (Ignition-1992 and Smash-1994), their first album (Self Titled-1989) was DIY and Ixnay onward were on Columbia
I honestly think this album shaped my musical tastes more than almost any other. My personal favorite is the title track. I don't think it ever got the recognition it deserved. The lyrics always really stuck with me. And I'm really not a trendy asshole in part from that song 🤙
I just sang along to Change The World at the end, and its in a much higher key than it would go on to become on Ixnay, so I almost blew out my vocal chords lol
Wow. I had no idea that this song shaped my life. “I’m not a trendy asshole; do what I want; do what I feel like. I’m not a trendy asshole, ‘don’t give a fuck if it’s good enough for you.”
" guess it's hard for others to see, I'm not a trendy a**hole, I do what I want. Do what I feel like. I'm not a trendy a**hole! And don't give a F*** if it's good enough for YOU!!! I AM ALIVE!!! "
This was my first cassette. It was my second cd (after the Spawn soundtrack my sister bought me 23 years ago). My third CD was the Mortal Kombat soundtrack. 4th was Homework by Daft Punk. So I had a pretty solid starter cd collection. My tastes have changed greatly over the years. Went from alt punk, acid rock stuff like this to pop punk (sum 41, blink 182) to Metal (korn, Limp Bizket), to New Metal (Lincoln Park, Lost Profits), to power metal (Dragonforce, Sonota Arctica, to about 3 years of Eurobeats, then finally settling on my home in EDM, and this has been my genre of choice for the last decade. Wild ride. But Smash was my first time I really fell in love with an album.
Haha the similarities between your musical taste and mine are pretty damn close haha. It cracks me up. I never got into EDM though, but this was my first cassette, along with the Jurassic Park soundtrack, and also Boys II Men hahaha. The rest pretty much followed my musical evolution. I got into power metal when I was about 18 and listened to a ton of Sonata Artica, Dragonforce, and Helloween. Good shit man

I bought the tape, and the CD. Looking back this album was really good- relates to life even more as an adult than when I was in middle school.
Smash is my favorite, and always will be.
it is, greetings from germany!

Smash still sounds better than anything playing on the radio today
For the most part I agree
even better today
That is because it IS better than most things on the radio
No not really.
100% agree, radio music is pitiful and vapid these days lol this is amazing to revisit
I was 17 years old when i heard this album first time, now i am 35 years old and i still like it, since the first day
ha, me too :-D
juninlv heck ya!😄
Same with me man. Good shit. I can still relate to this song. One of my favorites.
It was 94 i was 9.....
Lol no mom not much swearing.
juninlv same but I'm female

Awwww that sounds amazing!!
Many of us grew up with bands like these. Very few of these bands withstood the sands of time as well as the Offspring.
[Verse 1]
Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I held it all in with blood on my face
Built it up, man, so bad you can taste
I don't slag no one, I don't even judge
Don't give me shit ’cause I'm not gonna budge
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
[Chorus]
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
’Cause I'm alive
[Verse 2]
Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast you're smashing your strife
Time stamps:
0:00 - 2:51 Smash

3:06 - 4:08 Change The World Teaser
9:08 - 10:40 Come Out and Play Melody
sory but between 9:08 and 10:40 it's the intro of Pay The Man
@@chauvusfpv43 Which has the same melody as Pay The Man
@@GaryGang911 yes
@@chauvusfpv43 and "Change the World" sounds kinda like "Genocide"
I used to play the last few moments of the outro over and over when I was a teen. That guitar is so epic.
me too. then you find out its the intro to the sickest track on the next albulm. Whaaattttttt
Change The World- Ixnay on the hombre.. in case you didnt know
@@mikeybuckets478 Then you ALSO find out that it's a melody in the song "Genocide"

me and my band are gonna try to bring this trend back!

You were So Cool if you knew about the secret song! 🤣
secret tracks❗️🎸🎼- and then “skits” in the rap/hip-hop albums🎤😅🤣
This track haunts my dreams and whispers from the darkness as I walk the rain soaked streets in the middle of the night
I used to listen to this album when I was at the age of 12 or 13. It was one of the only albuns at that time that I listened from the biggining to the end without pulling any track.

the best song from the best Offspring album
i couldnt agree more
Agreed. 💯
You got it.
@@PunchDrunkLizzy I managed to hear the entire Smash album live on the 20th anniversary tour... still getting chills just thinking of it.
facts
I always loved the outer being the INTRO to "Change the world" off Ixnay
Man, and the second music outro. Listen to the last track of Americana.
Also around 9:24 it sounds like Come Out and Play (ish) with the drum track from Pay The Man
Had this album on a tape back in the 90s... heh, memories...
Nice
Found this tape with same picture 2 days ago, have no device to listen to) Children have fun with it
should keep it in cabinet.......dont give to kids to play.....:>its dangerous they might like it:))
PetyaK i
absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This Album Had and still has relevance in my life greatly.There is a lot of wisdom within the lyrics throughout the entirety of it; This Track Especially is highly meaningful even 27 yrs later
I just realized that their album is always named after most underrated song on it
Except conspiracy of one that track is way overrated
better late than never xD i also agree with your opinion, its a nice finishing song (:
Americana is def my favorite song. I agree with this statement!
i don't remember splinter album having splinter song though
@@grastabox2391 that song is Long Way Home. I would’ve liked The Noose but so be it lol
This was a masterpiece of the 90s
My first cassette tape! The first time I ever felt 'cool'...
Same.. till my parents found it and smashed it cause of bad habit fml
@@travisrowe2296 Lol! I always had to run to the tape player to fast forward that song! Omg if they actually ever heard it🙈😆
@@sarakatz6541 😅😅 definately had to use headphones a lot growing up.
I was born September 9th 1983, i remember Offspring Smash when it cameout, it was bad ass , still is ..
summer holiday 1994,headphones and my bmx :)
going to school in the early 2000s, half awake listening to my cd player on the bus.
walkman and snakeboard
Those were the days
Wow.... i think that would be dope👍👍👍👍👍
Walkman, joint, skateboarding down my steep road near miss head on with a bus! loving every second living like no tomorrow!
Still in my head since 1994. The best album of punk all the songs are good .Good job guys. Thanks the offspring .

An amazing way to close a fast, energetic, and great punk rock album.

Mum showed me this album when i was 8 in 2005, she passed away in 2009. This album is more than music to me ❤
I remember skipping class early after selling some jazz cabbage, buying Smash on cassette, looked over, then randomly bought, Down- Nola and Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power. Since that very day... Life and my relationship with the guitar was not looked at the same way ever again.
If i remember correctly the self-titled song was a hidden track ordinally. This album is simply a generational masterpiece.
2:27 fav part when the tempo change 🤘🏼
Sane here! Love that part!
🙌
This was the first album I ever bought when I was 11. Been listening to it for 26 years now and it's still just as good.

Still one of my all time fav bands
This is just as incredible as back in the day to me.
Take me back to the 90s
Great song, remind me the good ol' days
Loved it, thank you Dxtr and crew.

Should have a billion views

Best track on the Album 💿 just listen to all and this the pure Fire
Cette chanson, en particulier, me fait ressentir des émotions incroyables ❤
seriously one of my favorite albums not a single skiable song on this album .... I wish my CD never broke
Mine broke and I got another one... And then another...I still have all 3. This shit was my damn theme music in high school.
You can’t ski to this?
I can't find mine :'(
This fucking album ROOCKS!!!!
Best song on the album
The best outro.
great song,memories
Southern California vibe straight from orange county, I love it
Remembering how I’d asked my mom to buy this album on cassette. I was 12 or 13. Now Im trying to involve my children in this stuff.
Perfect isn't a crime or a myth : just a reality. like this real chef d'oeuvre from The Offspring
ZAJEBISTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
adoro Offspring
3:05 "Change The World" from "Ixnay On The Hombre" :D
00:1 -2:48 smash
Hidden bonus track 3:55
Hidden track 2 9:00
It's actually a reprise of Genocide, which uses the same melody as change the world.
And the drums are from the breakdown of Shoot to Thrill by AC/DC. Offspring were big fans of AC/DC. I love their cover of Sin City.
this was my very first CD i ever owned
Listened to it all the time on my sony discman
9:07 ghost track
Come out and play melody
best song of any time anywhere
Um álbum do caralho simplesmente! Da época que pegava o cd emprestado com quem tivesse pra gravar em k7 e tirava xerox da capa pra ter a letra das músicas. É geração atual nãos sabe o que é isso. Tinha que suar pra ter o que se gostava. Muito amor! Rock pra sempre❤
It makes me feel like a teen. I am nostalgic of my youngs years.
Masterpiece 🔥
Your're absolutley correct.
This one is my favorite
1:28 best built up in a punk rock song
I remember korns albums, at the end of the album, just let it keep playing and boom! Secret song
Best skate punk riff ever and it's not even close
Offspring's best song!
Woah, The Offspring and Epitaph? My day has just been made.
Phantoms Cry Offsprings second and third albums were on Epitaph (Ignition-1992 and Smash-1994), their first album (Self Titled-1989) was DIY and Ixnay onward were on Columbia
I don’t know why there was about 5 minutes of silence but it was worth it to hear the hidden track at the end!
The silence is really irritating when you are listening this on spotify without premium and have ran out of skips. Don't ask how I know this...
oohh good old days..
great song
Smash is life
this IS the best fuckings song of punk rock !
love it!!!! got it for my birthday when it came out!
Good song
West coast punk has a vibe like nothing else
I honestly think this album shaped my musical tastes more than almost any other. My personal favorite is the title track. I don't think it ever got the recognition it deserved. The lyrics always really stuck with me. And I'm really not a trendy asshole in part from that song 🤙
Better than I remembered, foooook
One of the Best tracks from 1994
Love love love
Secert tracks favs. Of all time...
For a good time.
Drink or die.
on a sony walkman,in a boarding school yeah!
I just sang along to Change The World at the end, and its in a much higher key than it would go on to become on Ixnay, so I almost blew out my vocal chords lol
Wow. I had no idea that this song shaped my life. “I’m not a trendy asshole; do what I want; do what I feel like. I’m not a trendy asshole, ‘don’t give a fuck if it’s good enough for you.”

Il migliore album Punk Rock è qusto.
I remember hearing pretty fly on MTV, so I bough the cassette, was sooo disappointed I bough this one instead; Until I put it in a car radio ^^
This was my first cassette. It was my second cd (after the Spawn soundtrack my sister bought me 23 years ago). My third CD was the Mortal Kombat soundtrack. 4th was Homework by Daft Punk. So I had a pretty solid starter cd collection.
My tastes have changed greatly over the years. Went from alt punk, acid rock stuff like this to pop punk (sum 41, blink 182) to Metal (korn, Limp Bizket), to New Metal (Lincoln Park, Lost Profits), to power metal (Dragonforce, Sonota Arctica, to about 3 years of Eurobeats, then finally settling on my home in EDM, and this has been my genre of choice for the last decade. Wild ride. But Smash was my first time I really fell in love with an album.
Haha the similarities between your musical taste and mine are pretty damn close haha. It cracks me up. I never got into EDM though, but this was my first cassette, along with the Jurassic Park soundtrack, and also Boys II Men hahaha. The rest pretty much followed my musical evolution. I got into power metal when I was about 18 and listened to a ton of Sonata Artica, Dragonforce, and Helloween. Good shit man
yes !!!!!
Smash made my own way of life!
Freaking orange county CA, I love it
Wow I had never noticed that the beginning of pay the man from Americana was a hidden track on smash!
