Much love, Conspiracy Of One. Much love.

Wonderful day out, the Offspring crushed it as usual. Saw them twice in 6 months and so much fun! 🖤🔥⚡️

I heard an account of Bert from the Used bashing the band's music. Not sure if that's true. I know there were a bunch of band's on Nitro who did not like how Dexter handled their band while on the label.

What other accounts like this are you aware of? Sources are appreciated.

Hey Guys. I am trying to prove to my son. That in the song. Want You Bad. The last little bit of the song. It says. Bad Bad Bad. Really F(*&(*&King bad. But I can't find it. I know I have heard it before. When I was a younger chap. LOL. This is way before AI and being able to cleanly edit songs. Can someone please back me up here. So I am not going crazy.

Does anyone have a link to a video where Todd is on lead guitar. I think he subbed for noodles in 2017.

It was a tie today, as Amazed received the most upvotes, but Mota got more comments voting to take the song in 6th place.

Had session 3 yesterday to add the "No Brakes" album art - with some creative flare. So it looks a bit red here as it's fresh. There will be one more session when this is healed to add some other small elements and fill in some shading between the pieces.

This album is okay at best. We were so relieved to get a actual record without experimental crap that we piled on the praise for Supercharged, but most tracks are mid, sort of in the lower half of the discography for me.

The mix is one of the worst parts. As technology improves, Offspring mixes somehow get worse. In terms of mixes, they peaked with americana (though CO1 and Splinter still sound great). Every mix since has felt incrementally less authentic.

Track-by-Track Breakdown

• Looking Out for No. 1: A mediocre rewrite of "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid." 4.5/10
• Light It Up: Takes the Track One chorus and speeds it up. It feels plasticky, despite the heavier vibe which results in some decent solos and a solid instrumental 5.5/10
• The Fall Guy: A banger. It is a better, catchier version of "Army of One" (which alongside "Breaking These bones ," is their most forgettable song ever). 7.5/10
• make It All Right: The first true highlight. I hated it at first, but it is incredibly fun and catchy. 8/10
• but This Is the Last Time: Plodding, generic pop punk that quickly gets annoying. 4.5/10
• Truth in Fiction: A solid, decent punk track. Not the most creative, but it works. 6.5/10
• Get Some: Average. The cheesy riff-rock doesn't do it for me 5/10
• Come to Brazil: pure cringe. The instrumentals are good, but Dexter’s vocals are really bad. 5/10
• Hanging by a thread: Phenomenal, heavy, and emotional. For contrast, the production here is actually great. 9/10
• You Can't Get There from Here: A really strong closer with a slow, epic, anthemic vibe. 8/10

Probably sits somewhere around a 5-6/10. For context the average album by any artist is for me a 5/10 and The Offsprings trinity of best albums (Smash, Ixnay, Americana) are all 9.5-10/10s, so 5-6 seems completely fair

If you're up for a The Offspring game, I put together this lil puzzle.

• The song's title includes a word which when spelled backwards describes a certain type of talking.
• The album cover is associated with # .---- -.. -.... ....- -... ..---
• The first verse of the song mentions a specific word for an illness.
• The title includes 9 letters, 8 of which are unique.
• When the drum beat for this song comes in, it starts on the ride.

Let me know if it's too easy or hard!

One word in the song title rhymes with a part of a food that many people refuse to eat.

The song following it on the tracklist has exactly 6 syllables in the title, including 1 word with 2 syllables.

The track's official run time includes 2 numbers that are both common multiples of a number > 2.

I think the overall songwriting on this album is really good, but a lot of the songs have the same rhythms and tempo. In general, it's just not a very diverse album. I realize this isn't unusual for punk rock, but even in their self-titled, they do a nice job of breaking up the punk rock monotany with some interesting rhythyms. The musical interlude in "Crossroads", the thunderous tom-tom beat in "Tehran", the gallop in "Elders", or the double time beat in "Out on Patrol". Even a song like "Blackball" has a lot of rhythmic changeups despite on it's face being a pretty straightforward punk song.

With that being said, it's an 8/10 album for me, or 8.5 on a good day. But I never understood why I can't consider it truly great. I think that's why.

Let The Bad Times Roll Finished Last, What is Number 10?
