VIMTV Episode #218: The Offspring – Smash

Jake: Recommended, 86/100

Tom: Highly Recommended, 100/100

Overview: The Offspring’s Smash is one of the greatest punk/rock albums of all time. The guitars are thrashy as always, but the production is of a high enough quality that the bass and drums sound full. It’s the perfect blend of classic, noisy punk, and fantastic production.
