Offspring. Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace (2008)

Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace is The Offspring's upcoming eighth studio album, which is set to be released on June 16, 2008 in Europe and a day later in the United States. This will be the band's first full-length studio release in four and a half years, the longest gap between The Offspring's studio albums to date. Its release had been delayed several times since frontman Dexter Holland first announced the album in 2004.

Writing and recording sessions for this album lasted for almost two years, making it the longest time The Offspring have ever spent working on an album. Although drummer Atom Willard (who left in July 2007) was still a member of the band during the recording, session musician Josh Freese actually handled the drum tracks, like he did on the previous album Splinter. Due to contract issues with Geffen Records, Willard was not supposed to do recording on the album and later decided to leave the band and continue his duties in Angels & Airwaves full time whilst Face to Face drummer Pete Parada joined the band just in time for the tour.

Offspring. Conspiracy if One (2000)

Conspiracy of One is the sixth studio album by The Offspring, released on November 14, 2000. It is the follow-up to the successful Americana.

The Offspring have come out in support of file sharing, claiming it does not hurt sales. This album was originally planned to be released directly on their website before retail, until their label threatened to sue.

To date, Conspiracy of One remains the band's final studio album with the "classic" line-up, as drummer Ron Welty left the band in early 2003 to pursue his career with Steady Ground.

Conspiracy of One was released on November 14, 2000, and peaked at number 9 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Five weeks after its release, the album was certified gold and platinum.

Smash is The Offspring's third album, released on April 8, 1994. It has been certified 6x Platinum, and broke The Offspring into the mainstream. It is often credited as the highest selling independent album of all time with more than 16 million copies sold world wide, and continues to sell well thirteen years after its release.
