It in that sense to me what applies to say "World of Noise" by Everclear, "Pablo Honey" by Radiohead or "Pretty on the Inside" by Hole, to name a few. Albums that are great as curiosity sake, but in the show a band that has potential, but just have not reached it fully yet. Good for albums that showcase that, but tend to be looked down upon some cause they seemed typical of the time, though showed signs of being capible of much more.

But with the Offspring, they did come further from this:



a few years before the self-titled, before they changed their name to The Offspring.

Funny to me cause I swear he says "microwave your titties" in the chorus, haha.
