Talk:Americana (The Offspring album)

Untitled
Could the next thing be added? It seems to me that the track "Feelings" is a reprise of the song "Dis-lui" from the French singer Mike Brant. In fact the chords and melody are the same, the lyrics are based on the same scheme and follow the same rhymes.

 * The track "Feelings" is a cover of an older song "Feelings" with a somewhat different lyrics. I don't remember who sings the older song.  Grue   07:44, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Production info
Can anyone add something about the first idea of The Offspring to have the album produced by Vinnie Paul of Pantera, to get closer to that raw feeling Smash had? I know the first recordings turned out to be too rough and aggressive, so band's managers changed direction and went out with those pop-punk sound and arrangements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.21.105.211 (talk) 12:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Album Sales
The accreditation for the Australian charts is Platinum x7. You must include 1998 when the album was x2 Platinum as well as in 1999 when the album was x5 platinum —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.106.103.33 (talk) 01:53, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Thats not how they work. The 5x platinum means that that is how many times it had been certified platinum by 1999. So, it went 2x platinum in 1998 and received three more platinum certifications in 1999 to become 5x platinum. If you need more evidence that this is how the certifications work, just have a look at some of the recent Michael JAckson certs and you will see that this is the case Hitthat (talk) 08:53, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Pop punk
Pop punk should be added as all but one single from the album has been classified as such and It is clear in other album tracks. SlaniCraft (talk) 17:39, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
