Produced by Dave Jerden, the album was released on February 4, 1997 through Columbia Records (their former label Epitaph released it in Europe). After the massive commercial success of their previous album, ''Smash'', The Offspring entered the studio in the middle of 1996 to record a new album. Asked about the title, frontman Dexter Holland claimed that ''Ixnay on the Hombre'' means either "fuck authority" or "fuck The Man". ("Ixnay" is the Pig Latin version of the word "nix," familiar in 1940s Hollywood movies.) ''Ixnay on the Hombre'' was a moderate success debuting at No. 9 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart and it was well received by both critics and fans. The album was certified platinum in the US for the shipment of 1 million copies. ''Ixnay on the Hombre'' has sold around 3 million copies worldwide.〔(THE OFFSPRING HISTORY ) offspring.com/thehistory. Retrieved February 19, 2015.〕 The album contains the singles "All I Want", "Gone Away", "The Meaning of Life" and "I Choose", while "Cool to Hate" also received radio airplay. The first two singles later appeared on The Offspring's ''Greatest Hits'' album. ==Background and recording== By the time The Offspring began writing new material for their fourth studio album in 1995-1996, they were the biggest act of Epitaph's roster and had originally declined to leave the label before signing a recording contract with Columbia Records. Following the widespread commercial success of the band's previous album, ''Smash'', frontman Dexter Holland wanted The Offspring to release more albums on Epitaph, or remain on the label for a long time. However, tensions were encountered when Epitaph founder and Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz decided to sell ''Smash'' to a major label in "return for a royalty override on it,"〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=archive.is )〕 an action that the band did not like. Gurewitz had approached several major labels, such as Geffen, Capitol and Sony, in attempt to sign The Offspring.〔 The band eventually signed to Columbia, and Holland recalled that they "took less money" with the label and the signing "was not to try and make more money."〔 Holland also claimed that The Offspring signed to Columbia because they would not "record for someone who thinks () can force () to" and would not "record for a guy who's worse than a major label."〔 Recording sessions for ''Ixnay on the Hombre'' took place from June to October 1996 at Eldorado Recording Studios with producer Dave Jerden (Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Jane's Addiction, Social Distortion). On the recording process of the album, guitarist Noodles stated: "Change the World" is a further development of the unnamed hidden track that appeared at the end of the previous album ''Smash''. "Change the World" itself contains a hidden track, a brief spoken piece by Larry "Bud" Melman of the David Letterman Show. 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「Ixnay on the Hombre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
