Review: 1989's The Offspring (The Offspring)

I can see your point, but that's not to say they were intentionally looking to be TSOL clones. Coming from them, they grew up around mostly punk, so it was the cool thing probably to start a band if you liked the music, and play the music. So, they probably started off with a lot of covers, and a few original songs, but the originals had the same touch that they used to put on the cover songs. So, they will naturally sound alike for awhile. For example, they might've been recording Blackball, and because they learned guitar or whatever other instrument through the playing of other bands' songs, they might attribute the same playing style, technique, dynamics, or whatever to their own songs, because that's what they grew up around.
