So-Cal punk outfit Offspring originally intended to give their millennial release away for free over the Internet until cooler heads prevailed at their label. Despite the derailing of this revolutionary act, CONSPIRACY OF ONE is still a win-win proposition for fans and retailers alike. Chock full of hooks and crunchy chords, the album picks up on the wacky multi-kulti vibe that first surfaced on the band's previous AMERICANA. Among the notable examples are the cowbell-heavy Latino vibe on "Original Prankster" which features a War sample and a guest vocal by rapper Redman, and the Middle Eastern-flavored rhythm track threading throughout "Living in Chaos."
Lest Offspring fans start worrying about sell-out potential, be assured that Dex and friends have packed these 13 tracks with plenty of pile-driving riffs, as evidenced by tracks like the catchy opening song "Come Out Swinging" and the triple-time tempo of "One Fine Day." Other highlights include the mosh-ready title track and the ominous "Vultures," a low-key cynical screed that treads the same shadowy path as Nirvana and Concrete Blonde. Who says the best things in life are free?
Industry Reviews
7 out of 10 - ...Buzzes from skate metal to Ozzed-up pop...to Chili-peppered funk-punk to Billy Squiery sleaze-core....[their] genius has always been fro wringing Orangeade out of Orange County...
Spin (01/01/2001)
4 stars out of 5 - ...Modern punk'n'roll...their most immediate charming offering yet....finding different ways of organizing their sound into ever-compulsive new shapes...
Melody Maker (11/21/2000)
3 out of 5 stars - ...If you're after jangly guitar riffs, chart-thumping production values and shouty choruses, then [The Offspring] are still very much your guys...
