Sputnikmusic
Sputnikmusic is an American music community website offering music criticism and music news alongside features commonly associated with wiki-style websites. The format of the website is unusual in that it includes both professional and amateur content, distinguishing it from professionally written music websites such as ''Pitchfork'' and ''Tiny Mix Tapes'', as well as collecting and presenting a wiki-style metadata database in a manner comparable to Rate Your Music and Discogs. Over time, the site came to be established as a credible source; it is now among the sources that Metacritic uses to compile "Critic Scores" and is used as a news source by other websites. As a general rule, the staff writers tended to focus on new releases; however, any user was welcome to submit a review of any album that has been officially released. All genres of music were covered by the site, with dedicated subsections for metal, punk, indie, rock, hip hop, and pop; an 'Other' section also caters ...

It is the tenth track on their fourth studio album, ''Ixnay on the Hombre'' (1997), and was released as its lead single in January 1997. It reached No. 31 in the United Kingdom and No. 15 in Australia. In the US, it peaked at No. 13 on Modern Rock Tracks. The song also appears as the fifth track on their ''Greatest Hits'' (2005).

The song's lyrics originally consisted of significantly complex vocabulary, like many Bad Religion songs.

Dexter felt rejected and rewrote the song's lyrics to sound more like an Offsprin ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Gotta Get Away (The Offspring Song)
"Gotta Get Away" is a song by American rock band The Offspring. It is the fourth track and third single from their breakthrough album, '' Smash'' (1994). The song was a modest hit in several countries, but peaked at No. 6 on Billboard's Modern Rock charts. "Gotta Get Away" was inspired by an early track, "Cogs", written while the band was still named Manic Subsidal. Although the song was a big hit, it did not reach the heights nor achieve the popularity, success, airplay, or sales of the album's previous singles " Come Out and Play" and "Self Esteem". The song had two single covers. The first, the cover for the CD single, depicts a skeleton in the same style as the previous singles from '' Smash'' - "Come Out And Play" and "Self Esteem". The second, the cover for the 7" vinyl, shows the actor from the video standing outside the coliseum, his eyes covered by the song title. The song also appears as the same numbered track on their ''Greatest Hits'' (2005). Content The lyrics re ...
