I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

The Offspring - Conspiracy of One
25 November 2000 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

The Offspring are back with Conspiracy of One, featuring the single Original Prankster. It begins with a short spoken Intro, followed by Come Out Swinging, heavy, heavier than Original Prankster which follows. Track five, Million Miles Away is one of the best tracks on the album - great guitar riffs and great melodies.

Living In Chaos starts well, a bit slower than the rest of the album, the song gets worse as it goes on - good intro though. Special Delivery begins with a drum beat with a bass guitar playing over the top, some guitars come in and it sounds great.

Denial Revisited is also good - slower. In Vultures you can really hear the Nirvana influence (similar sounding guitar to Come As You Are) - it's a great track. Finally, ending the album is the title track, fast guitar riff.

Good in parts, the standout tracks being Million Miles Away, Special Delivery and Vultures. Worth a listen.


3/5
