this song has touched me | Reviewer: kyle
------ About the song Can't Repeat performed by Offspring
I'm 16 i own every single the offspring cd well about a few months ago i was dating this one girl she was my every thing i loved her with all my heart...she dumped me with no reason at all...put me in 4 month depression but this song made me feel better so no one hate on the offspring
well, i just don`t know how criticts do their reviews, this is just my personal opinion. First of all, this comes from someone who spent his entire youth listening to The Offspring, who bought all their albums (original, never downloaded nothing). I always liked their older stuff more than the newer, with only one exception: Splinter. I don`t know if the reason is that it was the first album I got, but I see it as an incredible work, the Best The Offspring has written since their self titled and Ignition. Amazing guitars, vocals and drums (yeah, there`s a drum solo!)and a darker and heavier sound. This song stands out for the album, simple, straight lyrics and a nice (common?) guitar riff and a wah...need something more? And short song, which means that can be listened twice...and many more times, if you wish. I really hoped the new album (RF,RG) to keep the same line, but I`m sorry to say that I was highly deceptioned. I still enjoy listening to them and playing their songs...forgot to mention that Dirty Magic, The Noose and Never gonna find me were my inspiration to pick up a guitar?

------ About the song Denial, Revisited performed by Offspring
I love this song, it's absolutely beautiful. It gives hope that even if everything seems to be finished between me and my ex, there's still a chance that we won't forget each other. And that we'll try again... "I know it'll be different this time if you'd just stay".
Love. Love is so... ridiculous.
um..i know people like to dissect the deeper meaning of a song to get the full impact of the artists emotions and i can understand why a person would want to do that its all good that people love things like that..but when you sit back and think every single person has their own opinions about everything nobody is exactly the same so instead of saying oh ur stoopid cuz u think this song is about racism or gang violence how bout you say something along the lines of oh okie i respect your opinion you make a valid point but here take a look at what i think... thats why i strongly dislike people who are arrogant and think the world revolves around them ..well anyway sorry i pretty much just wrote a book but i really wish people would understand to value every person n stuff love you all =] have a good life
The song is realistic | Reviewer: Evelyn
------ About the song Self Esteem performed by Offspring
First.. I didn't know what they meant with the song. A few years ago I met a boy at work. He's wasn't very happy with his girlfriend en complaint about her. She even used her own daughter to be with him. The relationship was ended. Once he asked me to join him by car to a restaurant where our collegas were, but I refused. She was trying to make him jealous at the restaurant and afterwards she fucked him because she was jealous of me. After that day I couldn't do anything right and she was saying that I was a whore and he agreed her. After a year I heard he was crazy about her and then she dumped him.
So... I was always kind to the guy, but the guy wasn't. But he was kind to the girl who fucked him and dumped him. So girls don't be too kind to guys: the more you let them suffer, the more they really care..

fantastic old punk rock | Reviewer: dan
------ About the song Blackball performed by Offspring
this album is just fantastic old punk rock. (when you're young, offspring is old school) a few songs are a little bit political (kill the president is a fantastic one); most are rebelling against a way of life... this song has some of the best lyrics i've ever seen... up there with operation ivy.
all the offspring music is kind of perfect sound but if you don't mmind my earing need to be familiar to.the vocals are like no one else the melody is the top also the way you introduce your selfs to listeners .my part of job is to do more than the best to get the lyrics right the way because listen like that i can only get some of the words i don't know but i love music i'll do whatever to sound like us us us us us us us us us i know but please let me progress in that a b c d e f good

Life after | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Gone Away performed by Offspring
I miss my brother. Its been almost two years since he attempted suicide. He was severely brain damaged, so we had to take care of him. He died April 08. My sister found him after he suffocated on his own throw up from his feeding. He was my best friend. He still is my best freind. I would trade in an instant if i could. I wish i could have told him i loved him one more time. One last time. I know ill see him again one day. I can only hope so. Sometimes life hurts so bad, and the only thing to do is to wait for it to be over. To lose someone who you truly love is the most painful thing in the world. But there are still others who survive, and need eachother. I miss you Nigel.
Love you always, Cam

------ About the song Cool To Hate performed by Offspring
The song is obviously making fun of people that don't do shit for themselves, and spend their time hating on everything and everyone. My fave parts are "I even hate me, too So fuck you" and "But I also hate the freaks, yeah" which is funny cause you would think the person IS a freak...

------ About the song Self Esteem performed by Offspring
This song is awesome, and it definitely speaks to me, far more than it should... It's kinda sad how much I can relate to this song.... As for whether it's a ripoff or not I have to say... That honestly, in the deepest part of my heart... I don't give a horse's ass if they stole it from Nirvana. It isn't the exact same song so I don't care. The lyrics are different and it's the lyrics that speak to me. I really don't give a flying ratshit if this is the same song note-by-note, (Which it isn't) I still love this song.
This song is just proof that punk doesn't have to mean stupid and violent. The song talks about how society regards tragedies as everyday occurrences, since the media plays up murders, robberies, and acts of violence as an everyday phenomenon. It makes references to several young girls in history that have had this happen to them- namely Little Miss 1565, who died in the circus tent fire from the thirties or so- no one came in to claim her body, and her identity is still unknown today. All in all a great song by The Offspring, really touches on why exactly punk existed in the first place- because society has lost its humanity.
