Hailing from the same roots as Green Day, The Offspring have only recently been recognised in the UK as a great rock band. Their current album, Conspiracy of One can only help matters, as it contains some wonderful tracks which seem to relay a wide range of musical influences.
The song Come Out Swinging starts the album off and really gets you into the right mood pretty fast, the fast beat and unmistakable style of the band shines out in this track.
Next up, Original Prankster plays on the band's more comical element, seen both in the infamous Get a Job and Pretty Fly (for a white guy) it's a great song for getting back at the crap that life throws at you.
Want You Bad, the current hit, is another great song that has a great play on words. The Offspring are great for coming up with intelligent lyrics, despite the general feeling about this type of music not needing such 'nonsense' I'm sure it echos many men's fantasies as well!
Million Miles Away seems more like the aforementioned Green Day's territory, it has that thoughtful style, while still keeping the tempo to the max. Dammit, I changed Again follows on as a heavier number and then Special Delivery is almost like a thrashy version of a Terrorvision song that works really well and is incredibly catchy.
One Fine Day is the beer induced happy song that has deeper, more troubled roots and all along reinforces this with a deep brooding tune. Denial Revisited seems almost like Nirvana at times and has a lot of throaty singing then both Vultures and the title track Conspiricy of One finish the album off with a dark, but ultimately satisfying tone. The bonus track, Huck It is included almost as an advert for the Offspring 'movie' of the same name.
It's nice to see that this disc is well thought out and contains some great PC extras too. Put the disc in your computer and you get 4 videos (including the excellent Pretty Fly video) and also a great little sing along section where the words appear on screen, bizzarre!
The music on offer shouldn't dissapoint any Offspring fan and it's more mainstream feel to this album may mean that many more people add this to their collections as well. Good stuff.
