    Pay the Man is one of their best songs. Solid album; probably rank it as third favorite behind smash & ixnay

    I can’t hear a single song off it without remembering the smell of the cd booklet.

    I don’t know if they used a weird ink or what. But that thing was wildly overpowered compared to any other CD.

    The music is awesome obviously, but just seeing the picture of the CD made me remember that ridiculous smell

      Yes, I remember the smell! That booklet 100% had a unique smell to it for some reason.

    This was my gateway to punk rock back in the day and still holds a special place in my heart. Love the album from start to finish.

    I can still hear the “Welcome… to… Ameri… Cana…”

    Kids aren’t alright still hits hard, Pay the Man is also on my regular playlist.

    It’s not as good as Ixnay or Smash, but it’s a solid album

    Used to listen to it on the bus ride to school with my discman. Agree that Pay the Man is a great track

    Great album, disturbing imagery. I know bugs are necessary within the food chain, but by god are they gross as shit

    All my favourite anime edits from back in the day used either the offspring or rage against. I love this album for the nostalgia it holds for me. Can’t get as excited as I was listening to it the first time but still banger.

    One of my favorite albums of all time. It introduced me to a lot of really heavy topics as a kid. Also had a banger of a secret song hidden in the end, too.

    Good album, maybe even the first I ever bought for myself. The Kid’s Aren’t Alright is dark.

    I recently was gifted this album, their songs on the radio suck and the rest of this CD is genuinely basic and crap.

    I gave it to my coworker.

    Staring At The Sun was part of my inspiration to learn guitar. 26 years later I still play and still know that song.

    Pretty fly for a white guy is so goofy but so am I so I can’t not love it

    Plus if it wasn’t for this song we wouldn’t have gotten this one
