New Offspring album "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace"

[Turambar]

Has anyone picked this up yet? As a longtime fan, I ordered it, but UPS is taking their sweet time delivering it. The first single and video is up on their website (offspring.com) as a free download. It's pretty good; definitely better than anything on Splinter or Conspiracy of One, in my opinion.

Also, I just love the way these guys deal with their music. The free download is at 320 kbps, and has no DRM. Just what I'd expect from guys who used to sell Napster merchandise from their own website

Ive heard the first single. Sounds like crap that was popular about 6-7 years ago.

They stated in an interview they weren't going to change and would keep cranking out the same sound and songs, went downhill from there. Didn't even know they put out a new album.

Americana is one of my favorite albums of all time, but every Offspring song outside that album sounds absolutely horrible. That being said, I haven't listened to their new album yet, but I plan on it... even though there is a high chance I will be disappointed.

Haha, seriously? Who does that!?

My favorite song on this album is "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid." The rest are just so-so.

Got the CD the day it came out, and being a long time Offspring Fan I gotta say the Album is pretty so-so when it comes to their last 3. Its nowhere as good as Americana or Conspiracy of One, but it has a few good ones. Hammerhead, You're ganna go far kid, and Stuff is messed are probably the best songs on the CD IMO.

Hammerhead is new DLC on rock band right? Is it worth downloading? I really liked Americana, but haven't listened to offspring much except for singles after that.

So you're bothered by this but not the fact that they only crank out new albums when they've pissed away all their money on booze and drugs? That being said, I'm a fan of Offpsring and am looking forward to picking up the new album, even Splinter had a few good tracks. >_>

It's probably got the best Drum track Rock Band has ever seen.

Offspring sounded like a big steaming pile of sellout crap 10 years ago, they still sound like it today

The Kids Aren't Alright really needs to hit Rock Band.

Well, it was announced the day after Hammerhead came out, along with Pretty Fly, Self Esteem, All I Want, and a couple others.
