Or perhaps it was just the royalty checks, hot babes, and fast cars. Whatever the case, the band's fourth record,\nAmericana, is its most lively offering to date, replacing angst and rage with energy and sarcasm. The novelty single \"Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)\" matches infectious riffing and shout-along vocals with fly-girl chants of \"Give it to me, baby\" and lyrics about wannabe scenesters; and a storming punk-rock version of Morris Albert's \"Feelings\" sees the band hitting a new level of, er, (in)sensitivity. Elsewhere, the humor is slightly more subtle; \"She's Got Issues\" cops a new-wave guitar line from the Cars songbook, \"The Kids Aren't Alright\" opens like an Iron Maiden anthem, and \"Why Don't You Get a Job?\" is a blatant reggae-style spoof of the Beatles' \"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.\" Musically,\nAmericana offers no real revelations, but the songs are a bit craftier and more diverse than the rest of the Offspring oeuvre, veering haphazardly between anthemic punk metal, blistering hardcore, and near-psychedelic experimentation.\n--Jon Wiederhorn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 074646966129\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0074646966129\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52542778573097,"sku":"HC-WFCL-E005","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/61-gYLdaI-L.jpg?v=1769822112","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/en\/products\/the-offspring-americana-cd-used","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
