Whereas other bands sometimes like to just put their favorite
compilation of songs, The Offspring's Greatest Hits album really leans
more towards what the fans wanted making this a CD that is truly all
about the fans.
The album was released in July 2005 and published by Columbia records the same as some of their other albums. The album has been certified Gold by the RIAA so listeners can be sure that this was a reasonably popular CD comparatively speaking against other The Offspring albums.
For listeners who are purchasing this album simply to hear their new previously unreleased songs "Can't Repeat" and "Next to You", they may be slightly disappointed. The songs are relatively simplistic with "Next to You" being a cover of a song by The Police. Although the new material is not anything special, the songs included on this are pretty much everything you could want from The Offspring prior to 2005 if you are a casual fan of this band.
Expect their most popular and played songs on the radio such as "Gone Away," "Come Out and Play," and "The Kids Aren't Alright" to be on this CD in high quality so you will get a great listening experience.
This album is highly recommended for those who like punk bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Stone Temple Pilots. Their sound is a bit more Popish than Nirvana and more along the lines of certain Stone Temple Pilots songs. Because this album is comprised mostly of radio hits, it also contains much of The Offspring's pop song writing side and thus is a very good comparison to Thank You by Stone Temple Pilots. So if you liked this album, it is recommended that you pick up this one and vise versa.
