Regardless, Nitro should be able to sell an album as popular as "Days Go By".
Yeah, I never got the impression from anything I've read about them, or interviews with the band, that they had any problems with Columbia. Not that they'd necessarily say so if they did, but I've...
When I saw them on the Americana tour, they began the encore with Pay the Man, which was pretty rad.
My opinion that it's easily their worst album hasn't changed, but I still love it and listen to it pretty regularly. There's definitely a lack of "flow" on this album. It hits a dead spot in the...
Saw them tonight and really enjoyed "Gone Away". I thought she did a good job.
When the contest was announced, it sounded really cool; I was impressed the band would do that. But the way it was handled was ridiculous. Questions about MTV, stuff that had nothing to do with the...
So who's going to the Bethlehem show next month? I'm excited for this one. I haven't been to the new Sands concert venue yet, and have heard good things.
Come Out and Play, OC Guns, Pretty Fly, Original Prankster--I like them all a lot, but Come Out and Play the best.
Yeah, offspring.net was an awesome site. Had more news than the official site a lot of times.
I definitely disagree. Nothing worth listening to till track 7? What about Come Out Swinging, one of their best songs? Or Million Miles Away, or Dammit I Changed Again? Those are all awesome...
Cruising California is easily the worst song they've ever done, whereas OC Guns may be my favorite track off the new album. So, no contest.
Josh Freese is probably the best drummer they've had, but I always thought Ron Welty did a good job. I wonder how much of the drum parts he came up with (like the simple but awesome beat from "Gotta...
Hey, if you have a few minutes, check out some of my band's tunes. We have some stuff on reverbnation: www.reverbnation.com/themindcontrolsquids, and our EP "Process of Elimination" and full length...
Yeah, half the bands on Side One Dummy are ex-major label bands.
It's a good name! I started the account in 2006, but haven't posted much till recently. I used to post more on the previous...
Do you think they'll remain on Columbia after this album? Sales are pretty low, even compared to the last album; makes me wonder if it might be their last on Columbia. Who knows, though, they've...
It would be great if they banged out another one, like the time between Ixnay and Americana, it was less than two years. But it's fairly typical for a band with longevity like Offspring's to release...
Definitely an underrated album. It's so dark, with a number of pretty intense songs (Lightning Rod, Never Gonna Find Me, The Noose, etc.). My only complaints are with "Worst Hangover Ever" and...
Definitely! My least favorite is Cruising California, by miles.
I'm surprised so many people consider Days Go By a more cohesive album than Rise and Fall. To each their own, of course, but for my money, the new one is a bit all over the place; I thought Rise and...
Very well said.
Well, you're definitely right about that "somebody did" line; it's a pretty lame way to rhyme something with "just kids."
Aw, come on, man, Americana's got some of their best punk songs: No Brakes, Have You Ever, Staring at the Sun, Americana, End of the Line!
I've always liked this song. It's different, but still fits with the rest of that record. If it was a love song, it wouldn't be as interesting; the lyrics make up a lot of why that song works.
