''Ignition'' (stylized as ''ignition'') is the second studio album by the American punk rock band The Offspring. It was the second Offspring album produced by Thom Wilson, and was released on October 16, 1992 on Epitaph Records, marking their first release on that label. Released during the alternative rock and grunge-era, the album brought the band small success in Southern California as The Offspring started to gather a following. This success would continue to grow with their next album, ''Smash''. ''Ignition ''was certified Gold on January 22, 1996, nearly two years after the release of ''Smash''. It has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.〔(THE OFFSPRING HISTORY ) offspring.com/thehistory. Retrieved February 19, 2015.〕〔(Epitaph Announces Re-issues of Smash and Ignition by Offspring ). ''Alarm''. Retrieved February 19, 2015.〕 "Kick Him When He's Down" was released as a promotional single in 1995 after the band had risen in popularity; but it is one of the few singles that did not appear on the band's ''Greatest Hits'' album. "Dirty Magic", the sixth track from ''Ignition'', was re-recorded for their ninth studio album, 2012's ''Days Go By''. The album's title comes from a lyric in "Burn It Up". ==Background and recording== In 1991, The Offspring teamed up with producer Thom Wilson to record the ''Baghdad'' 7" EP. This EP was instrumental to the band's signing with Epitaph Records. Wilson had been trying to get The Offspring to switch to Epitaph, a label run by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Gurewitz felt that ''The Offspring'' was just not quite pronounced enough for his label, but ''Baghdad'' convinced him to give the band a shot. Thanks to the success of ''Baghdad'', The Offspring managed to record their second full-length album. The band entered two recording studios, Westbeach Recorders and Track Record, in June 1992 to record ''Ignition'', in a similar fashion to the production schedule for ''The Offspring'' and ''Baghdad'', which were both recorded in just one month (March 1989 and February 1991 respectively). Some of the material ("Take It Like a Man", which was originally recorded in 1991 for a Flipside magazine compilation, ''The Big One'', and "Get It Right", which appeared on ''Baghdad'') are updated versions of songs that were recorded around ''The Offspring''/''Baghdad''-era. The album also had one outtake, "Mission from God", which was released on the compilation album ''Punk-O-Rama Vol. 10'' in 2005. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ignition (The Offspring album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
