I was going to get this song with one of my free Amazon MP3s I got from drinking way too many Pepsi products but it wouldn't let me.

I have the album now, the first four songs are pretty great but the rest is ****.

Fixed.

Way wrong. Also, get the bonus tracks from the Euro release.

So Offspring has a new one on the 17th...

vudu · « **Reply #58 on:** June 04, 2008, 01:48:44 PM »

Offspring hasn't put out a good album since Ixnay On The Hombre.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #59 on:** June 04, 2008, 01:54:04 PM »

Nah they have other good stuff. But if you like the earlier stuff, the new single(Hammerhead), sounds more like their old stuff.

vudu · « **Reply #60 on:** June 04, 2008, 02:06:26 PM »

They've had a few good songs, but that was their last good album. Americana was maybe half good songs. Conspiracy of One was absolute ****. Splinter (from the little I heard) wasn't any better.

EasyCure · « **Reply #61 on:** June 04, 2008, 02:10:17 PM »

Those last two albums were decent albums, but not decent offspring albums.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #62 on:** June 04, 2008, 02:17:35 PM »

ya well, listen to the single, tell me what ya think.

EasyCure · « **Reply #63 on:** June 04, 2008, 03:23:19 PM »

Me? yeah i'll give it a shot later. work computer doesnt have audio

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #64 on:** June 04, 2008, 11:48:50 PM »

Oh Christ. The new Offspring sounds like the old Offsrping - which means it sounds exactly like every other fucking song they've ever made. The new song is crap. I'm sorry...no, I'm not, it's fucking crap. I did like Amazed from Ixnay on the Hombre, however, and Gone Away of course, but then again, (as seen earlier in the thread) I used to like SoaD too.

Are the bonus tracks on the Euro release same as on the Deluxe Edition? If so, are they any good?

I really like the first four tracks on the album, but the rest of the album is god-awful. (Granted, on the leaked version I have, I'm missing tracks 9 & 10, so maybe they're fan-fucking-tastic, but I'm not holding my breath.)

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #66 on:** June 05, 2008, 10:18:04 PM »

Actually 9 and 10 are great songs if you ask me. The 4 bonus tracks are also on the Deluxe Edition, yes. Everybody Get Dangerous is pretty forgettable, but I really like Dreamin', and Thought I Knew is growing on me (the bassist, Scott Shriner, sings that song). Automatic (#9) is pretty good, but I really like The Angel and the One (#10), it's basically a love song version of Heart Songs. That leaked 8 track rip has absolutely terrible sound quality, btw.

EasyCure · « **Reply #67 on:** June 06, 2008, 11:50:58 AM »

I still have to check out this weezer album.

i did get the new MSI album. I'm sad to say its not great. The first 3 or so tracks were really bad, very minimal and sounds too much like an "alternative" single on the pop charts. The next few tracks were ok, the lyrics made them good cuz it was mo in line with their style and musically they were good too. I'll be honest, i havent finished the album but i was expecting something that sounded more like their second album, especially after the leaked song i came across a few months ago "bob this track". I'm pretty dissapointed.

I disagree, that song is ridiculously funny.

But anyway, with the exception of some weak songs (Angel and the One, every deluxe edition song that isn't Miss Sweeney), this album is pretty solid. Pork and Beans, at least for me, is proving its merit because I've heard it way too many times and I still really like it. Greatest Man, Troublemaker, Everybody Get Dangerous, Thought I Knew and Automatic are good as well.
While Rivers is the Weezer vocalist I'm most accustomed to, I really like the change of pace with other members of the band (Thought I Knew and Automatic)

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #69 on:** June 06, 2008, 05:55:46 PM »

I've got to admit I kind of was just going along with vudu kind of, I actually really like the song. I like Angel and the One though, a lot.

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #70 on:** June 07, 2008, 01:40:16 AM »

eh...Angel and the One probably has to grown on me a little bit. It might suffer from "long song at the end of an album" syndrome.
I'm sure it'll show up in some random playlist I'm listening to in a month and I'll be like "whoa! this song is awesome!" but that moment is not right now, so I'm a little down on it.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #71 on:** June 07, 2008, 05:52:43 PM »

Yeah bands always end their albums with slow songs, like Only in Dreams (though that's an absolutely fantastic song) on the Blue Album, and Butterfly on Pinkerton (another classic). BTW, if you don't have the deluxe version of the Blue Album, then chances are you missed quite a few other great songs, namely Jamie and Mykel and Carli, although they're both on other discs as well.

vudu · « **Reply #72 on:** June 07, 2008, 10:43:54 PM »

Everybody Get Dangerous is **** and anyone who things otherwise is an idiot. It's almost as bad as We Are All On Drugs.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #73 on:** June 09, 2008, 03:50:19 PM »

Full NEW Offspring album available online for streamed listening.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #74 on:** June 09, 2008, 04:18:55 PM »

Booooooo. Everyone in the Offspring is like 50 now anyway, they're a bunch of old men, they should have more talent. Seriously, Dexter is 43.
