Music reviews of Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace

Music Review: The strongest Offspring album since "Americana"
Rating: 5 Stars

I've been listening to The Offspring all my life. Ever since Smash, I have been a fan. While Conspiracy Of One and Splinter were decent, they weren't quite up to par with the Offspring I had come to know. This marks a major return to themselves. With songs like "Trust In You" and "Hammerhead" harkening back to the raw days of Ixnay and Smash, and "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" and "Stuff Is Messed Up" sounding like the more playful album Americana, the album still shows progress in a new direction. "Half-Truism", "Nothingtown", and "Takes Me Nowhere" showing a newer, cleaner, sound. "Let's Hear It For Rock Bottom" shows the influence of the ska-punk band, The Police, in The Offspring.

The album also shows signs of more mature music in songs like "Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?" and "Fix You". They sound more like alternative hits than the punk we've come to know. While they aren't bad, they are strange, but the quality of the rest of the album well makes up for these two misplaced tracks.

This leaves two tracks unmentioned. "A Lot Like Me" and "Rise And Fall". Both are decent songs, but you can't help but hearing Linkin Park and Green Day sounds in the songs, respectively.

While there are a few weak points, for the most part, the album is amazing, and is another solid Offspring release.

Description of Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace

Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace, the eighth studio album from the OC punksters, is an impressive new set of songs from one of rock's most exciting and enduring bands. The Offspring entered the studio with legendary producer Bob Rock (Metallica, The Cult) to record 12 new songs culled from the most productive songwriting period in the band's history. This is the band's first full-length studio release in four and a half years, the longest gap between The Offspring's studio albums to date. 'Hammerhead' the 1st single from Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace debuted at #5 on the U.S Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and #18 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks respectively. The Offspring has performed over 1000 shows and they have sold more than 34 million albums worldwide, including their 1994 release "Smash," which more than a decade after its release remains the highest-selling album of all time on an independent label.
