 (21 Customer Reviews)
So the Offspring jumped ship from California proto-indie Epitaph to corporate behemoth Columbia. So what? Anyone who thinks going for the brass ring is less than "punk" should remember that back in the days of No Future, the Sex Pistols, the Clash and their brethren set their sights on nothing less than total world domination. Despite their proletarian orientations, the godfathers of punk were determined to become rock stars in order to shove their messages down the world's collective throat. So, don't give the Offspring any grief for taking that leap 20 years later, when it means a hell of a lot less.
Contrary to punk expectations, there are no string sections or Tom Scott sax solos on IXNAY ON THE HOMBRE. The band's songs still leap off the disc with the same breakneck beat and aggressive guitar attack as on previous Offspring releases. Sure, the band has expanded its sound a bit; with the help of Jane's Addiction producer Dave Jerden, several songs sound more than a little like, well, Jane's Addiction. But better that than allow the music to stagnate in order to meet unreasonable expectations about "authenticity." Don't worry, dude, the Offspring still rocks.

Rolling Stone (2/6/97, pp.47-48) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...IXNAY's smoking chords, chunky bottom, surprising mode shifts and melodic good humor suggest Van Halen's late-'70s California more than Black Flag's....Dexter Holland's hefty high register keeps the group's eccentric beats light on their feet..."
Spin (2/97, p.83) - 7 (out of 10) - "...Holland wails about out changing the world, but his music is more about finding a place in it....These songs are imploring you to rip it up, but they always feel like a prelude to getting on with the rest of your life."
Entertainment Weekly (2/7/97, pp.66-67) - "...tight, razor-sharp body-surfing rock that feels pumped with steroids. IXNAY ON THE HOMBRE is the culmination of the new punk rock's transformation into anthemic, up-with-party-people music--music for beating up nihilistic skinheads..." - Rating: B+ Ixnay On The Hombre Music | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rock CDs, Pop, Alternative, Punk, Enhanced CD | | Label | Columbia | | Orig Year | 1997 | | All Time Sales Rank |  1529  | | CD Universe Part number | 1089803 | | Catalog number | 67810 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Feb 04, 1997 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | Dave Jerden | | Engineer | Bryan Carlstrom | | Personnel | Davey Havok - background vocals

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great
I'll never forget where I was when I bought this album--I cant believe it was almost ten years ago... Amazed is one of the best songs written in the 90s and there are plenty of other great songs on this. Offpsring went downhill after Ixnay, but this remains a testament to just how cool they once were, even though only a few of us really knew it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The Last Great Offspring Album!
As the title suggests, this was the last "great" album Dexter and the gang wrote. Americana was a disaster, Conspiracy of One was alright at best, and I've honestly become too disenchanted with the band to listen to all of Splinter. Dexter, if you see this......Forget everything you've done since Ixnay on the Hombre and try again!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Offspring at Perfection
this album fits perfectly in the album timeline....right inbetween Smash and Americana, which were both great albums. But when you fuse the more hardcore punk sound from Smash (songs like: Meaning of Life, Mota, Cool to Hate...) and the more humorous Americana sounding stuff (Intermission, Way Down the Line, I Choose)you get Offspring's best cd. Gone Away is great but it CAN get old. but anyway, this is by far my favorite Offspring CD...and i thought it couldnt get any better than SMASH

Let us all be thankful that Ozzy's retirement didn't stick. It supposedly lasted for three days, after which he got bored and started working on this project. Heavy, riff-intensive tunes, progressive song structures and a little psychedelia give OZZMOSIS a definite Sabbath flavor. Ozzy must have been in touch with whatever inspired early classics like PARANOID and MASTERS OF REALITY. Witness the extremely chunky "Thunder Underground," which can stand up next to "Sweet Leaf" and "Symptom Of The Universe" as an archetype of hard rock. The trippy guitar in "Ghost Behind My Eyes" and "Denial" are not some young Ozzy-wannabe going for a retro sound--this man was there, "Planet Caravan"ing.
Still, this heavy metal daddy in touch with his roots is also hip ...
| | Ozzy Osbourne Ozzman Cometh: Greatest Hits CD (2002)
Ixnay On The Hombre CD music
$9.69
THE OZZMAN COMETH is a single CD collection of hits, previously unavailable recordings and one new track. Previously included a limited edition second disc containing 2 of the 4 previously unavailable recordings as well as an interview with Ozzy Osbourne.
As if we needed another reason to believe that Ozzy Osbourne is God, along comes THE OZZMAN COMETH, a double CD retrospective of one of the most enduring and influential figures in heavy metal. Consisting mostly of his post-Black Sabbath solo work as well as a live version of "Paranoid," this collection's biggest asset is the so-called "basement tapes," never-before-heard rehearsal tapes of four classic Sabbath songs. Dating back to 1970, "Black Sabbath" and "War Pigs" are the songs that transformed a petty thief from Birmingham, England into the godfather of heavy metal.
But if Sabbath cemented ...
