Because the singles were the Days Go By this failure ?

[SapoCocas]

this would be my order of release of the singles:

1st Days Go By, 2nd The Future Is Now, 3rd All I Have Left Is You, 4th Dirty Magic

what do you think?

Are you serious? All I Have Left is You wouldn't be a good single. In fact, it would be the worst choice as a single from the album. And by this I'm not saying it's the worst song of the album.

The whole point of singles is to promote the album and attract potential new buyers (and as a result, create new fans of the band). This is best achieved by having a single that gets the most airplay and thus the most exposure to the general public.

The band's core fanbase will check out the album regardless of the singles.

Thank you.

Pretty much. As much as I adore this album, best thing they've done in a decade, it also in a lot of ways "feels" like something that hasn't been played on the radio in 10 years. None of these songs were going to be monster singles. Even RAFRAG seemed to be a bit more marketable/"modern radio potential" in the sense of single options.

Not to say there's not catchy stuff on this, 'course there is, but it doesn't really fit in with a public that's gobbling up Coldplay and Adele.

They've said before that radio play isn't their focus. For some bands it it's and that mentality produces some horrifying stuff. they play and record what they like to hear. Why are fans so surprised when an album that wasn't tailor made for the radio doesn't chart well?

At least we fans still back it. I suppose that matters to the band more than being a hit on the radio.

I totally agree with this. A record doesn't have to be a commercial success to be a great album. I'm glad they're still kicking ass. I love this album. I am glad they still make records. I love the fact that they don't care about selling a million albums. As long as they make music they like to make, I'll always be a listener & buy their albums.

I do not understand why singles have had so little reception. Only Days Go By was well on the charts, Crusing California was bad and Turning Into You touched on some radios. I wonder what is happening with the Offspring?

And remember that the album Days Go By was only 6 weeks on the Billboard 200.

Why is it so important that the singles or even the album itself is a commercial success? A lot of great albums are never charting anywhere, but that doesn't keep it from being great. You should stop caring so much about what other like and start focusing more on the things you like yourself regardless of anything. The commercial success is not a way of gauging whether the album was a failure or not.

I noticed that Kerrang (TV) didn't play any of the singles much. I don't see why because Days Go By is still great, it's just different.

I don´t like be a sarcastic or something like that. For me, The Offspring is splitter up at the end of 2014. Maybe not. I see in the future. They will likes to stay with families and bussiness.

Sorry for said that. But it´s time to left the band. I´m not negative.

Another reasons try to read the song "Turning Into You" in a part of lyrics Dexter says:

I've been drowning in a sea
Of trying to please you
It's all I'll ever be
It's all I ever knew
I try to be me
But I'm turning into you

The music is hurting
The drugs aren't working
The walls come crashing down

Another rejection
For my insurrection
It's crawling back somehow

His band doesn´t working?

Sorry guys!. I know we will and still a great fan.

I love offspring music.

Dexter has said in quite a few interviews that he doesn't write about himself when it comes to song writing. He takes things that happen around him and make them into songs that people can relate to.
