To be fair to them, they released Smash just in time for skate punk to suddenly explode into the mainstream. They went from punk scene kids playing shitty dive bars and squats to being up there with Green Day, Nofx, and Rancid at the top of the punk tree, and kinda wanted to stay there. So Smash is a legitimately brilliant record, Ixnay On The Hombre is great, then they hit their formula with Americana and cruised along that rut.

As someone who actually likes The Offspring, this is definitely true. lol Also, a lot of their songs are just kinda the same song.

But on the other hand, their guitarist's name is Noodles. So... that's not nothing.
