Yeah, rare occasion that i admire mainstream band but i've been listening to their stuff since... I dont remember, really. The spirit of the Offspring never gets outdated for me.
Thoughts on Rise and Fall? Some say that the Offspring completely went mediocre pop-punk. Dont believe it. While with the second part of this statement it's hard to disagree, their music has never smelled with hunger for money like general pop-punk does. It always remains sunny and natural, so forget about lables.
I consider this album way better than their previous very disputable 'Splinter'. Looks like guys, being unable to remain the same, at last found the best path to carry on.
