 One Fine Day! Sep 22, 2008
Awesome CD by The Offspring, anyone who appreciates good music should buy this CD. One Fine Day is probably the best weekend anthem I have ever heard in punk form.
One of their best albums Jun 23, 2008
I think their best albums are Smash, this one, and Splinter. This album has two annoying joke written-just-for-the-radio songs (Original Prankster and Want You Bad), that I usually skip, but the rest of the album is good to great. My favorite songs on the album are Million Miles Away and Living in Chaos. Come Out Swinging is fast and rocks, a good start to the album. Denial Revisited does not sound like Offspring at all, but I still like it, and Vultures sounds like a Nirvana song. It's kind of eerie listening to Conspiracy of One, (about terror groups attacking superpowers) the final track, and knowing that about a year later 9/11 happened. Special Delivery is creepy, written from the point of view of a psychotic stalker. Reminds me of Bad Habit and Beheaded, other songs where Dexter is singing from the point of view of someone who's nuts. And One Fine Day is hilarious and has a guitar riff that reminds me of Green Acres. Another note of interest to some is that this album has the least amount of swear words of any of their albums (and no f-words).

 Train kept a rollin' Feb 01, 2008
Kinda cool and kinda juvenile cover art sum up this 2000 pop punk release as the Offspring prove to any doubters that they can indeed keep on rollin' with their simple plan of attack that saves itself from being utterly disposable by at least being a good plan. Highlights here are the hit singles especially Original Prankster which is perhaps the best example of why this band are so successful despite having no discernable reason to exist. With bouncy melodies and a good dollop of sense of humour the band plays to the inner thirteen year old in their audience.
With production values that are good while not actually being noticeable for any reason the band has here put in some extra value with the presence of some CD rom material and it's good to see that even a band like Offspring who sell millions will still make sure they are releasing worthy product in terms of bells and whistles. The booklet is full of mildly amusing cartoon caricatures - in the spirit of, say, Helloween. And lyrics to the whole deal are also included.
In addition my copy has what is termed a bonus track - Huck It which was apparently from a movie of the same name. Don't recall it getting too many academy awards but hey, for fans this is probably a reasonably nifty little curio.
All up this is an album you can put on and by the end not remember a darn thing about it except that, oh yeah, it has that Original Prankster song on it.

this is a must have! Feb 28, 2007
WOW! this record BLEW me away! this is MY favorite offspring record yet. this record went BEYOND my taste of music. Just like the rest of their albums, the offspring writes songs about everyday life.
1. Intro - Kinda pointless, but this band loves to do INTROs at the beginning of all their albums. 5/10
2- Come Out Swinging- This song means alot to me. the singing is great, and Dexter did a nice job with the vocals in this one. there isnt a part in this song that isnt good. This song has a good message to it that everyone should hear. 10/10
3-Original Prankster- let me tell ya, this song had alot of "action" if you will. Kinda hard to explain, but its a great song. It made me happy to see them trying somthing different with their music equipment. they put alot of effort into it and the beat is great, vocals are great. 10/10
4- Want You Bad- a few people i know that eathier dont know or dont like the offspring, they like this song. Another PERFECT song. this was one of their greatest hits. The vocals were really catchy too. "Complicated, X rated" "i want you, all tattoed" i love it. 10/10
5- Million Miles Away- When i first got this record, i didnt really listen to this song, and now that i do, it is one of my favorite other then Conspiracy Of One. I really like how they have 2 singers singing 2 different things in one time like at the end. If you listen to this song you would know what im talking about. When Dexter says "i cant take, i cant take" and Noodles and Greg are saying "looking through myself wanting to pretend" at the same time. Its another great song 10/10
6- Dammit, I changed again- This song, including "all along" "conspiracy Of One" "Come Out Swinging" all sound the same. but if you really listen to this song, you would see that this song has a meaning to it like all other songs i just mentioned. What im trying to say is that this song is "just another song" 8/10
7- Living In Chaos- im my opinion, this song is ok. not too bad, others might love it, but this song really doesnt appeal to me like most of the other do. Although i must admit this song had a good toon to it. 8/10
8- Special Delivery- well, ya know what they say. Every album has a song on it that isnt good. When i First heard this song, i thought it was another perfect song. Untill the point where it says "OGGA SACCA" 20 times, that totally ruined the entire song. but the vocals and lyrics are awsome other then that. 3/10
9-One Fine Day- This song remindes me of Green Day and blink 182 where the vocals are hard to understand in the chorus where dexter talked really fast. this is a VERY addicting song after you listen to it once or twice. 11/10
10- All Along- Kind of a short song, but it has a meaning to it. the vocals cant be better. " ALL ALONG, think i really knew, it was standing with the words unspoken" It sounds ALOT like Conspiracy Of One, but it still is a good song. 6/10
11-Denal, Revised- i never really liked this song. but i did listen to it once and found this song to be dull and boring. i dunno i guess this song really didnt catch my attention. The only advice i have is dont listen to this song if you are a hardcore rock fan like me. 0/10
12- Vultures- The SAME EXACT Thing as "denal, revised" .... dull and boring. if you are a hardcore rock fan dont listen to this song. 0/10
13- Conspiracy Of One- My favirote song on this album. "nobody wins, nobody hears us fall, nobody wins when its done, conspiracy of one" is a catchy phrase. this song is the main title of this album. 15/10
Overall Rating, 9.9/10 - Some boring parts and songs but its different then all the other albums by the offspring. love it.
