"Often overshadowed by Smash, The Offspring’s Americana is a stand out in their discography. Not only did the album capture the zeitgeist of the late 1990s and the burgeoning failures of the white picket fence fantasy, it also contained some of the band’s most recognizable songs partnered with some of the best punk rock they could offer. It netted The Offspring their highest chart position at the time peaking at number 2 on the Billboard 200, a once important marker of success in the bygone area of platinum records for rock bands. It’s hard to imagine that The Offspring are still going, not only 20 years after this release, but 30 years after their inception. Much of that can be credited to the lasting appeal of Americana."
