June, 21, 2005 brings us something we can all look forward to—The Offspring Greatest Hits release. And if you were going to make your own mixed CD of your favorite Offspring tunes, this is definitely what you would come up with, well except for the new song “Can’t Repeat” since you don’t know about it yet. But you will love it too.
The album includes such hits as “Come Out and Play,” “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy),” “Why Don’t You Get A Job,” and “Self Esteem.” And it is the first career-spanning collection from this bona fide punk rock band.
But wait, there’s more! It is being released as a companion piece to their Complete Music Video Collection, which will be available on July 5th. Or you could get the DualDisc version of Greatest Hits and find the entire album in 5.1 stereo, an in-the-studio retrospective, along with an acoustic performance of “Dirty Magic” on the DVD side.
The Offspring’s Greatest Hits gives fans one album with all of the pulsing chords, impressive hooks, and youth culture angst for which they have become known. So buy this album on Tuesday and really get the soundtrack of your summer pumping.

The Offspring? Greatest Hits? I never thought I'd see those two phrases together. I can still remember seeing "Come Out and Play" on MTV and thinking "uh-oh, punk finally died."

They managed to put together a whole EP of their greatest hits?
What I don't get is how this is selling well. I guess people who avoided their regular albums now figure they can get the few hits all at once and avoid paying album prices for a couple of decent songs?
