First album review of this decade; back to the future style.

Let me start this post by sending my condolences, sympathies, sadness, and all sorts of other things to anyone who had passed away prior to February 4th, 1997.  Any of those people would not have the chance to listen to the album of which this post is centered upon, and that's a total bummer 'cause everyone ('cept Hitler) should enjoy the eargasms it spits out 14 times over a period of a little over 42 minutes.  The first of these instances is, quite simply, one of the best openings to a record-ever.  Basically what to take from this, don't take shit so literal.  Now, how can you top this grand opening?  How about a song about going against the grain?  With everyone trying to fit in, the most important characteristic of a human gets lost.  This characteristic being individuality.   Quickly moving to the third, a song about drugs.  A pretty condemning look at that.  Dealing with the issue of wasting life even though it feels good at the time.  Agree or disagree?  I don't care, rockin' song-period.  If you've experienced the pleasure on this round piece of plastic, you probably already know the ending, but keep reading anyway 'cause it's quite fun.  Isn't it?  Up next, we have a song about sex?  Or is it about love?  Or is it about both?  Well, the latter seems most appropriate.  A relationship based solely on sex-this song seems to foreshadow into the new millennium quite well, don'tcha think?  It is the millennium of libido quenching after all...  Big number 5 can be taken probably two ways.  Literally as the lyrics spell out ,but with the message in the intro seems another option is best.  The second option would be a satire of the teens in that time, or any time really.  You know the ones, hate everything?  Right now the knowledgeable might see the light of this post.  Before I waste too much cyber space let's jump to number six; shall we?  Another song of hate.  We've all felt this haven't we;  holding a grudge against someone, unable to get over it no matter how stupid the reason?  With the lyrics so simple, yet so awesome, this one's definitely worth a mention.  Lucky number seven remains my favorite of the cd, as well as the artist.  What catches me about this song is not the lyrics of losing a loved one, but the way that it is sang.  Perfect is a word I would use.  Number eights message is simple and I will explain it in two simple, non-English, words: Carpe Diem.  Props on the Bananafish reference though.  Fantastic number nine; the heaviest song you will ever hear!  It comes at you with such force, even The Pope would start head-bangin'.  Now if you can look through the sheer brutality in the music, you'll see the beauty of the lyrics, truly is one to behold.  Almost done, but they don't let up on number 10.  One of the more fast paced song on here, does not make it any less great.  The subject matter: bottled up emotions, and putting up with peoples shit.  We all do it, it's great to relate!  Alright, number 11, one of the messages put through on this album I really, really like.  Deals with raising kids, and basically (what I take from it anyway) don't let the negatives of your upbringing continue on to the next generations.  Something I find that most people lose sight of these days.  Track 12, appropriately named, is not only funny, but is also catchy and great to sing along to!  About thinking before you do something, again something that is lost in society today.  Boy, they sure are good at foreshadowing!  Almost over, can you make it?  Song 13 is one of the slower paced on the album, but once again, that doesn't make it any less awesome.  A song about depression, but it puts a smile on my face every time.  Aside from the instrumentals that perfectly match the lyrics, and the pure perfection in the vocals, it's an okay song.  In the finale of this epic record one thing stuck out from the beginning, the sequence of notes in the intro of this song, were left ringing at the end of the last, almost as amazing, album (as well as in the chorus at about the 1/3 point song on said album).  Whether it be about politicians or evangelists, it's still an epic end to an epic album, teaching an important lesson:  people are always in it for themselves and noone else.  Well, thanks for playing (or miserably sitting through) my little game here.  Should there be a prize for a correct answer to the question; what album is this post about; would you win?  Either way; though I'm one for songs with deep, less blatant lyrics, this cd reigns not only as the best of the artist, but as the best of the 90's and maybe more.  Simple, blatant lyrics but as catchy as they come for sure.  Great artist that amazes to this day, but with Ixnay on the Hombre you can almost see The Offspring grow to where they are now.
