A survivor of the alternative nation '90s, the Offspring have shown themselves to be surprisingly adept at sticking around. Years after they set independent record sales with the appropriately named SMASH, they returned to the charts with their ... Full Descriptionsemi-novelty hit, "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)," reminding their fans that they still had it. The latest demonstration of what the Offspring are still capable of comes with 2008's RISE AND FALL, RAGE AND GRACE, a big-sounding, slick album complete with Metallica producer Bob Rock on board. The music is vintage Orange County punk, replete with Bad Religion harmonies and the driven sound of T.S.O.L., Social Distortion, and every classic group that came out of that suburb. That's not to say there aren't surprises, such as "A Lot Like Me," which features a chiming piano worthy of Coldplay, and "Fix You," pure radio power balladry.
The Offspring: Dexter Holland, Noodles (vocals, guitar); Greg K (vocals, bass guitar); Josh Freese (drums).
Recording information: Sterling Sound, New York, NY.
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.60) - "[B]y the parameters they've set themselves -- sometimes fast, sometimes atmospheric, always melodic punk rock -- The Offspring are quite brilliant."

More than 30 years after the English quintet's inception, Def Leppard have survived and thrived while many of their pop-metal contemporaries have stumbled into obscurity or gone on dubious reunion tours. SONGS FROM THE SPARKLE LOUNGE marks a long-awaited return to the catchy yet edgy hard rock perfected on their career-defining landmark full-length, HYSTERIA (1987). While the band's most successful ...

All songs written by Offspring except "Killboy Powerhead" (The Didjits).
Building off the success of its Orange County, California hardcore roots and a feature spot in snowboarding advertisements, Offspring is suddenly seeing more commercial success that it ever could have dreamed of when it was formed as yet another Southern California hard-core punk act in 1991.
SMASH is a generous helping of guitar power-pop. The delightful Middle-Eastern surf guitar on "Come Out And Play" hides harsh sentiments in poppy guitar riffs. Singer Dexter Holland mocks the school systems that think the solution to school violence is to "keep them separated," to segregate rather than educate the kids about the dangers ...

The world at large got a fly-on-the-wall view of the creation of Metallica's 2003 album, ST. ANGER, via the documentary SOME KIND OF MONSTER, so we know they consciously tried to keep things contemporary at that time by avoiding fleet-fingered solos and eschewing the sound of the "old" Metallica. If that hoary old term ...

Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace Music Review Average Rating: (3.8 out of 5 stars)  In their '40's and better than ever!!!
I think it's awesome that the older bands are making comebacks these days! But, of all of them, the Offspring have taken the lead! 2008 was the year that our favorite classic rock bands would show that they still have what it takes to keep our ears ringing by releasing their new albums (Judas Priest's "Nostradomus", Motley Crue's "Saints of Los Angeles", AC/DC's "Black Ice", etc.)! Sure, they didn't make a 'perfect' album! But, it was damn sure good enough! Songs like "Hammerhead", "You're Gonna' Go Far, Kid!" and "Trust In You" are three of their best anthems in years! The rest of the album wasn't as great as those tracks but they held true to their titles! Trust me, these guys will keep doing just fine for themselves if they keep making albums as listenable and fantastic as this one! If you don't have this album in your rock collection, I would buy it for you myself! The only reason it's missing a star is because more could have been done to this album besides the ballads, but it's still worth a listen! Is that comment enough for you?

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No The Offspring still got it!
I love this cd! there is not a single bad song on it. the offspring somehow manages to produce awesome, original songs with every album, always going in a slightly different direction, but still maintaining their distinct sound. even though ron welty isn't with them anymore, they rock just as hard as ever! best songs are "you're gonna go far, kid", "fix you" "hammerhead" and "a lot like me"

After a not so great debut with there album splinter the offspring came back with an amazing cd that reminds me of there classics."You're gonna go far kid" is right up there with "self esteem". If you ever liked offspring this is the cd to have.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Dexter what happen? and your voice
I've been a Offspring fan for 15 year now but
this is the worst Offspring album I ever heared in 2008 to say
I thought they'll never make a disappointing album but I guess every band has a bad album at least ones in their career
Dexter please please please
never ever ever make a album that
that relates to politics
leave that to Bad Religion
And for Greg, Noodles, Mr Freese
well 50/50
I think you should make another album
like the first 6 albums
Jesus come for us
