Nicole on The Offsprings new album Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace
The offspring is one of those bands that you can always count on for a bangin' good time live. They don't take themselves too seriously and personally, I think that's the key to their longevity. So, I just got the new Offspring CD and I listened to it in my car while I was driving, the best way to tell whether or not you like an album. In your car with nothing but you and the music.
Track one is awesome. We got off to a very good start. It's called 'Half-Truism' and in it's own way it's epic and not silly like a lot of Offspring songs tend to be.
The second track is called 'Trust In You', another instant favorite. This song is for anyone with trust issues who feels like singing about them until' the veins protrude from your neck. This song will cause quite the raucous in an Offspring pit. Instant favorite.
Then, 'You're Gonna Go Far, Kid' keeps the momentum going. It's a circle jerk of a good time, it curses in extremely entertaining ways and the drums are something to shake your ass to. It's actually one of my favorite songs on KROQ right now.
The more you listen the more it's obvious that these guys put a lot of their grown-up selves into this, but the beauty is they never lose their youthful tongue-in-cheek- vibe. This record is so much damn fun. It's easy to sing to, bounce to, jump around to...plus, the summertime release was the smartest thing they could have done. It goes nicely with a side of good times with friends and a dose of sunshine.
This is gonna sound crazy, but track 9 reminds me of Marilyn Manson with an Offspring twist of course. I know, I know, that sounds absurd, but when you hear it, you'll find yourself familiar with the melody and I dare say...what I said before.
The album finishes off with 'Rise and Fall'. It's my least favorite track. I think it's uninteresting and I have a whatever attitude towards it, but the rest of 'Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace' is so damn solid, that one track I'm bored by isn't gonna make a huge difference in how much I think the new Offspring record rules!!!!!!!
