The Offspring - Ixnay On The Hombre (1997) PROPER скачать альбом

After the massive commercial success of their previous album, "Smash", The Offspring left Epitaph and signed with Columbia Records. They entered the studio in the middle of 1996 to record a new, fourth album, titled Ixnay on the Hombre. Ixnay on the Hombre was a huge success debuting at #9 on the Billboard 200 chart and it was well received by both critics and fans. The album has sold more than 5.5 million records worldwide, while going platinum in the United States. The album contains the hit singles "All I Want", "Gone Away" and "I Choose", while "Cool to Hate" and "The Meaning of Life" also received radio airplay. The first two singles later appeared on The Offspring's Greatest Hits album.

“

The album saw the band move away from the political-punk themes common to many Epitaph bands, and more into mainstream rock with songs like: "All I Want", "Gone Away", and "I Choose". Ixnay on the Hombre was released on February 4, 1997, and is the first Offspring album distributed via Columbia Records. In Europe, this is their last release on their former label Epitaph Records. This was due to contract disagreements between the band and the co-founder of Epitaph and then-former and now-current Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. The band was able to release its album on Columbia for the US and other international releases but had to complete the album release in Europe through Epitaph. All subsequent albums were released on Columbia. The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awards the album 2.5 stars and states: "Ixnay on the Hombre sounds like a competent hard rock band trying to hitch themselves to the post-grunge bandwagon". Asked about the title, frontman Dexter Holland claimed that Ixnay on the Hombre means either "fuck authority" or "fuck The Man". The CD version of the album contains a hidden skit at the end of the album featuring Calvert DeForest called "Kiss My Ass".
