if you have never heard it, there is actually a lot to like on the album...as long as you are in a pop punk kind of mood. i had it at an age where i couldn't buy new music at any time. 7th grade...no job...yeah my music intake was low. so i wore the album out and now i just don't listen to the offspring anymore.

edit: i don't listen to them as much. i am not totally averse to the offspring...in fact they are still on my ipod. i just don't usually find myself in a mood to listen to them.

They may well do actually. Haven't listened to that yet.

Good call on Journal For Plague Lovers Melissa. What Manics stuff have you heard up to now?

Excellent album. All I Need is a classic :D

Nothing sadly.
I was just in the store, and remembered that you recommended that band immensely.

Ah i see well that album is their latest and therefore may not be the best place to start. It's a good album though and their best for quite some time.

I would recommend The Holy Bible and Generation Terrorists to begin with. Everything Must Go was their massive commercial album and Lifeblood is very different but vastly under-rated. Theres not many reasons to bother yourself with the others though.

^ I think I'll download them from the net, as I don't recall seeing any of them in the store (I just checked the artwork, and none seem familiar :/)

Cool. You'd be fine with just Generation Terrorists (the debut) and The Holy Bible under your belt before you check out JFPL really.
