 It’s sad to face what is probably their worst album, from an otherwise valid band often underrated under the label 'Those pop-punk guys from the 90s.'

 The part to discard has surpassed the good one offering us only 5 songs and it’s really too little, barely passable but with more difficulty than usual.

The Offspring’s new album, released after a nine-year gap, marks a decline from their earlier successes with limited strong tracks. Missing the original bassist Greg K, the album offers short songs with weak verses relying mostly on choruses. Only a few tracks like "Hassan Chop" and "The Opioid Diaries" stand out, while the rest feel like fillers. The production is flat, and the overall impression is disappointing for both fans and casual listeners. Discover if The Offspring’s latest effort lives up to the hype—read the full review and listen to the album now!
