To some people this thread may seem ponitless but i find it interesting where bands get there albums titles from or what significance they have. I have been thinkning about their albums and i know about some of the titles but not others.
S/T: Most bands release their first album as a S/T
Ignition: I never really got this one, there is no song called "Ignition" but it talks about ignition in one song; Burn It Up, "Ignition they call it an obsession but I think its kinda bitchen', I think its kinda neat".
Smash: We all know why it was called smash, beacause this is the album that got them recognised.
Ixnay On The Hombre: This means something along the lines of " Fuck the man", but there can be no exact translation.
Americana: This is an interesting one, on the front cover there is a boy sat on a swing. Well under his arm its looks like some creature, i have come to a conclusion that this is a Cockroach. The reason I say this is because there is a type of Cockroach which has the scientific name of "Periplaneta americana". So the album is named after that, and it also has a picture of a cockroach on the front cover, that is the significance with the title.
Conspiracy Of One: Im not sure about this one, maybe it was just named after the song "Conspiracy Of One".
Splinter: This has this name because the music splinters off into many directions and Offspring try out new stuff. Also on the cover there is a statue's head exploding, which makes the pieces "Splinter". This is the significance with the title.
Greatest Hits: Plain and simply named this because these are their most played hits commercially.
