The Offspring Hope to Release New Album This Year

Not to be negative, cause this band has made plenty of great albums...but anything has to be better than Days Go By

 

Days Go By was better than Splinter lol

 

The two weakest albums by the band but I think Days Go By is even worse. But to each their own my friend

 

Both have some decent songs on them but I think overall Days Go By has a few more.

Although overall I think Spare Me The Details is the best one either haha

 

Wait, I thought I read recently they weren't going to release traditional albums anymore? Just singles and EPs? Or am I imagining things?

 

Splinter and Days Go By both have the same problem that if they'd done EITHER a constantly tongue-in-cheek jokey album OR a stripped-down serious punk record they'd have been excellent; as it is, they're decent but could be better.

And besides, Days Go By is worth it for the closer alone.

 

Man I really enjoyed Splinter. And it didn't have that California Bumpin song which was just horrifically embarrassing (not that I'm defending really any other joke song of theirs lol)

 

That's actually a great point about Splinter. If they got rid of Hit That, Worst Hangover, Spare me the Details and When You're in Prison, and added 3-4 more punk styled songs, I think it would've been an incredible album!

 

Yeah. That said, I also have to confess I rather like Spare Me The Details. It's super catchy. Hit That too. No excuse for the other two though.

But same deal with Days Go By - cut Cruisin' California, OC Guns and Secret Family, boom.

 

I personally like those 2 but it kills the flow of the album. Worst Hangover Ever is a rip off of Why Don't You Get a Job and Prison was completely unnecessary lol. It's funny, if you combine those 4 with those 3 songs you listed from Days and another 3 funny pop-ish songs, you have a great album of silly songs! I know they love sprinkling those songs in but a full album of that could be interesting.
