Headbanging to this as a 13 year old crazy kid, and listening to this as a 40 year old man is a wholly different experience. To my boys not here to blast this, and the ones that are. I love you
I bought this one at 15 using my school dinner money ( there was a choice you either get lunch or get money every month, so I was able to buy one CD per month in 1995's+). So 40 roubles per month could be turned into one or two (if you are lucky in trade) CDs per month. But you had to bring your own lunch to school or stay hungry. Aaah, childhood.
I've lost count how many times I heard this song. For some reason that third verse always get me. The way it goes to a slow start to the way it starts to get faster. It resonates with me. It doesn't matter what people think. Just be yourself and do what makes you happy
I played this tape every night before bed for a long ass time when i was in high school. I remember reading the entirety of battlefield earth to this lol. Then i later found out Hubbard was a cult leader. Good book though!
Cuz they've been relevant always, but you have to be intelligent to see past the curtain to the man pulling the strings and what they're trying to make you act like. Break free of the bullshit,Offspring is the best punk band ever.
Hey Gen x ers , anyone else play a ton of quake tf during this time in the late 90’s ? I was at college and had a blast , brings back a lot of memories listening to this album. Love y’all

Discovered this album in 94 when i was 9. This discovery seriously affected my mind and since the time i listen to it. Trust me guys, this Album is a Masterpiece (especially this song) and will be legendary. In 200 years, we will still listen this masterpiece for sure if the world does'nt fall in WW3 sure :)
Ignition and Smash in sequence was they're dance with the swans. Two sequential albums which hit the trend or the era of the youth at the time. Im glad that they keep/kept making music and lived for the lifestyle, but I must say. They couldve dropped these two albums, bought some real estate and become ecological egg producers or something. They would still be punk legends.
@@benplissken540 Had to check that one out now too, forgotten about that album actually, thanks. All i want is an awesome song i remember, but this album came out after I dived into "look at my big brain, im so special-boy"-progressive-hole 😅
The Offspring's run of perfect albums from Smash-Ixnay-Americana is really only matched by Metallica's Ride-Master-Justice and Outkast's ATLiens-Aquemini-Stankonia. Every single song on those albums was a homerun.
One of the first two cds I ever purchased, got me through middle & high school...holy shit. I think this album is why i'm such a cynical bastard though...well that and reality. Even though I didn't like their later albums as much I always thought the Offspring were badass, love this band.

Smash is the best Offspring album of all time. Change my mind. The group did pretty well with the next few albums, but their music seemed to get weaker over time, and even sillier in some songs.
Joder esto es thrash! Quien pillará los 14…mi camiseta del smash… con la carátula y a la espalda la contra con el esqueleto en rojo…no he vuelto a ver otra como esa. Saludos
Check it...I remember so distinctly. I got a Sony discman in like 95 or6 was stoked...so went to dig dios CD in erie pa and purchased my first CD. THIS SHIT WAS LIT then. I got this CD and proceeded to smash . 16 and lit boyyyyyyy
"Where they lead, you will follow....Well I guess thats just the way it goes! And if you look away, you'll be doing what they say....And if you look alive, you'll be singled out and tried. IF YOU TAKE HOME ANYTHING, LET IT BE YOUR WILL TO THINK!!! More cynical you become, better off you'll be....."
When I was sick this last year, I listened to this album with a juvenile house fly nearby. I fed it Nutella and some pear. Later in the day, "he" climbed on my finger and just chilled. I named it McFly.
Yo yo wtf?!!! Dance do what you want bro..... Bud don't smash every thing... Yooooo ooh!!!! Belive in yourself... But not too much bro....!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 👌😏 Great material..... 😎
I thought the final lines were,"The sicker you become, the more you'll need their help." It's actually a more positive message to just become cynical, ironically,lol.
did they tell you about my idea for a space grenade its a non explosive projectile through the atmosphere shaped like one of those nerf footballs with the tails and maybe it will be aerodynamic in a way that it spins to better let off balls or smaller projectiles some distance from its gps guided location and carpets an area. it could assassinate anyone at any time making nuclear war obsolete and giving me the title keeper of worlds
by the time a radar picked it up it would be too late with the technology they use now. that's why trump said he was starting a space force first of all hes not starting it I am and second of all its not a joke
"Something To Believe In"
I believe that reality's gone
Disillusion's real
I believe that morality's gone
And there's nothing to feel
If you take the sacred things
The things that we hold dear
Empty promise is all you'll find
So give me something
Something to believe in
I believe in a changing of the guard
Put our feet on the ground
See it happen in your own backyard
Everything breaks down
Do you accept what you are told
Without even thinking
Throw it all and make your own
And give me something
Something to believe in
Where they lead
You will follow
Well I guess that's just the way it goes
And if you look away
You'll be doing what they say
And if you look alive
You'll be singled out and tried
If you take home anything
Let it be your will to think
The more cynical you become
The better off you'll be
Something to believe in
That "the more cynical you become, the better off you'll be" line is pretty sad. Because it's true today
Thank you man for lyrics
Unfortunately leftism I the new religion and the same applies
Headbanging to this as a 13 year old crazy kid, and listening to this as a 40 year old man is a wholly different experience.
To my boys not here to blast this, and the ones that are. I love you
My first rock album was SMASH. I was about 10 years OLD. IM 35 NOW STILL ROCKING OUT!!! Thank you Offspring!
Fantastic choice!!
💯
Me too. I was 14 when it released.
Me too, at 13!!
Was my favorite album as a teen. Love it just as much now as I did then.
Dave S. oasis come out same time
I had to make a choice
Name 3 oasis songs ... that’s right ya can’t. Can’t wait till I’m tired tasso
Hell yeah me too man love this album
i had this on cassette, this is still my favorite album i played sony walkman in 1994
I bought this one at 15 using my school dinner money ( there was a choice you either get lunch or get money every month, so I was able to buy one CD per month in 1995's+). So 40 roubles per month could be turned into one or two (if you are lucky in trade) CDs per month. But you had to bring your own lunch to school or stay hungry.
Aaah, childhood.
me too it was my teenhood and childhood too
I've lost count how many times I heard this song. For some reason that third verse always get me. The way it goes to a slow start to the way it starts to get faster. It resonates with me. It doesn't matter what people think. Just be yourself and do what makes you happy
This is entire album is perfection.
High school, first car, cruising, no worries, no responsabilities, just blasting SMASH. Great years.
lol i was blasting this when it came out lol now im 54 years old still roccking too it lol
This album, the original Mortal Kombat CD, some Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana and other 90s bands,woooo!
I was 7 in 94 but i was blasting this cd thanks to my dad!!
Im 40 years old.The álbum of my Life.Awesome record
It's funny how packed this album really was! This album is one of the most perfect albums I've ever heard.
agree...this is something.
I played this tape every night before bed for a long ass time when i was in high school. I remember reading the entirety of battlefield earth to this lol. Then i later found out Hubbard was a cult leader. Good book though!
amen, literally hit play and sit back... such a rarity. One of the best albums of all time
Yeah perfect
Hadn't listened to this album in at least 10 years until last nighy and my god are you right. Stacked!
One of the only albums from my childhood that I still come back to and actually has some substance.
I feel like these songs are so relevant to the current times we find ourselves in. I FUCKING love this album! I FUCKING LOVE The Offspring!
Very true x
Cuz they've been relevant always, but you have to be intelligent to see past the curtain to the man pulling the strings and what they're trying to make you act like. Break free of the bullshit,Offspring is the best punk band ever.
Couldn’t agree more
Meet the new boss; same as the old boss
Hey Gen x ers , anyone else play a ton of quake tf during this time in the late 90’s ? I was at college and had a blast , brings back a lot of memories listening to this album. Love y’all
I agree. I also think Smash was the last of Offspring's GREAT albums. After Smash, only some songs were great, never whole albums
1997 first year to start skateboarding Miami Beach and this album was my Bible 👍😷
I believe that reality's gone

This is my prayer 🙏. Well, Amen. I'm going to sleep now 💤.
amen

@@VanaheimrUllr hahaha, ecological egg producers!!! So right, i agree dude but we just need to add Ixnay of the hombre who is legendary too.

@@VanaheimrUllr hahaha i see what you mean. Listen again to Ixnay and thanks me after ;) Cheers from France !!
We are the same brother... I heard it in '94 just at the time that Kurt died... I said my God, what an incredible album... I'm from Peru...

True then, true now more than ever.

I am very cynical so I should be just fine. Thanks!

This was the era when I nannied as an English girl in California. Such brilliant memories x
One of the best skater punk albums ever written.
This album never gets old. I first heard it in Middle School.
I just realized the background harmonies during the chorus are borrowed from U2’s Stories for Boys. Love it!!
This album is still great.
The 1990s were the best era of punk rock music. I am proud to growing up in the 1990s. I play this song on my drumset.
Я верю, что реальность исчезла, разочарование стало реальностью.
Я верю, что мораль исчезла, и нечего чувствовать.
Если вы заберете священные вещи, те, которыми мы дорожим,
Пустые обещания - это все, что вы найдете, так дайте мне что-нибудь,
Во что можно верить
Что-то, во что можно верить
Во что верить

Я верю в смену караула, поставьте наши ноги на землю.
Увидите, как это произойдет на вашем собственном заднем дворе, как все разрушится.
Вы принимаете то, что вам говорят, даже не задумываясь?
Бросьте все, сделайте своё, и дайте мне что-то,
Что-то, во что можно верить

Во что верить
Во что верить
Куда они ведут, туда и ты пойдешь.
Ну, я думаю, так и есть.
И если ты уйдешь, ты будешь делать то, что они говорят.
И если ты выглядишь живым, тебя вычислят и будут судить.
Если вы унесете что-нибудь домой.
Пусть это будет ваша воля к размышлению.
Чем циничнее вы станете.
тем лучше вам будет.

This Album is awesome
So many singer-songwritters send forth grievences so cryped and personal. This is shit we all feel and deal.
when i was riding bike and played something in the schoolyard, all songs of this album...ohhh sweet memories :D
This Album is just Smaaaashhhhh ❤
лучший альбом безусловно. ..вспомнил свою юность...от некоторых треков до сих пор мурашки бегают...не ожидал...заебись!!!!
Smash is the best Offspring album of all time. Change my mind.
The group did pretty well with the next few albums, but their music seemed to get weaker over time, and even sillier in some songs.
Sorry, can't change your mind
They did pretty good til Conspiracy Of One, Splinter has couple of good songs, everything after is horrid.
The best for me its the Offspring their First album . In my ♥️
@@martina-ii2xe ong, their first album has this dramatic punk sound that nothing else i listened to could replicate thus far
@@martina-ii2xe I also like their first album a lot, but it was basically a copy of old TSOL. They really found their own style on Ignition/Smash.
...Where they lead
You will follow
Well I guess that's just the way it goes ....
I hope you are good today! 💕
Joder esto es thrash! Quien pillará los 14…mi camiseta del smash… con la carátula y a la espalda la contra con el esqueleto en rojo…no he vuelto a ver otra como esa. Saludos
Best! Time passes but offspring stays!
This album is an all time great. Every fucking song is so damn powerful and absolutely timeless.
Melhor álbum da banda!🤘🏻
This album is their best. Remember when it came out. Good stuff
Check it...I remember so distinctly. I got a Sony discman in like 95 or6 was stoked...so went to dig dios CD in erie pa and purchased my first CD. THIS SHIT WAS LIT then. I got this CD and proceeded to smash . 16 and lit boyyyyyyy
Smash & Ignition 2 of my favorite cd's of all time, CRANK IT & ROCK ON!!
This is next level total humanity anthem. it's inevitable. all is one.
favourite album when I was younger
I crank the stereo up on day, , Nitro was blasting, I dropped down and did a hundred push-ups no problem
This song is something to believe in
🤘
"Where they lead, you will follow....Well I guess thats just the way it goes! And if you look away, you'll be doing what they say....And if you look alive, you'll be singled out and tried. IF YOU TAKE HOME ANYTHING, LET IT BE YOUR WILL TO THINK!!! More cynical you become, better off you'll be....."
My first CD of this band was "Ixnay on the hombre", but I think "Smash" is their best work.
I like how nobody comments song but whole album, what a legendary album it is actually
This song kicks ass
Anybody Euro punker that talked down about The Offspring got a knuckle sammy in 1993.😎🏁🤘🏾
man that was good
Brings back a lots of memories:)
Still relevant!! 30 years later
That breakdown is filthy
I can listen from 1:56 on all night
Ah, here I am, at school with no work because my English teacher left early, guess I'll listen to some offspring
Here in Social Studies, slacking off because i'm lazy
The best song offspring... paulada na cabeça cumpade
👍👍👍👍
Best album ever made 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Som muito louco adoro a banda😅🤣🇧🇷🇧🇷🎸🎸🤘🤘
What a great fuckin song
I fucking love this song
Love this shit
TheCd42420 just recovering from play school tbh
All of them.
Got the keys....need ok for ignition.
le meilleur album du monde….c'est vrai….comme mon nom
i always listen to this album to fall asleep
When I was sick this last year, I listened to this album with a juvenile house fly nearby. I fed it Nutella and some pear. Later in the day, "he" climbed on my finger and just chilled. I named it McFly.
LO MEJOR !!!!
Zenith of their work imo
I agree that the older album are better but in the newer there's always 1 or 2 song that are great !
I wonder if that has anything to do with this being the last album before they signed to a major label.
Best!!! Big UP!
reminds me of being 6 and living in the ghetto
More than thank you!!!!
Were they lead ,
you will follow
. That's just the way it goes
Yo yo wtf?!!!
Dance do what you want bro.....
Bud don't smash every thing... Yooooo ooh!!!!
Belive in yourself...
But not too much bro....!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
👌😏 Great material..... 😎
🤘🤘🤘
Bring back Pete Parada! The decision to cut him loose was idiotic!
enough of them and you could guarantee a kill on anything maybe even bunkers idk all the details yet
90s best time 2B teen
Bought this album on tape cassette when it came out… this track just effin rips.
