Music reviews of Splinter
Music Review: Don't waste your money
Rating: 1 Stars
Just knowing that The Offspring are capable of so much more makes this album that much more horrible.
Smash is classic, Ixnay on the Hombre is great, and their self-titled album and Ignition (both released prior to Smash) are raw, gritty and in your face. Even Americana had its moments. Americana actually get a bad rep as it was very MTV friendly, but it featured some of the band's best songs ("Have You Ever", "Starring At the Sun", "The Kids Aren't Alright", "End of The Line" and "Americana").
I almost forgot about Conspiracy of One because it was so bland but Splinter is just awful! Only 4 or 5 songs on this album are any good. Those songs aren't even that great, but the rest is totally unlistenable.
I'll rank the songs from best to worst...
"The Noose" is by far the best track on the album. It sounds like a mix of Ixnay era and "Have You Ever" from Americana. Worth a download!
The two singles from the album "Hit That" and "(Can't get my) Head around You" are good, but become boring and disposable after a few listens.
"Race Against Myself" is pretty decent, but again nothing special.
"Long Way Home" is catchy
"Never Gonna Find me" and "Lightning Rod" are just painful to listen to. "Break AWAY (Pause) Run (pause) Down Inside (pause) I got to"...so lame
Oh but just when you think it can't get worst, we have "Da Hui" and "Spare me the detials." Two songs that define the word---Filler. D Hui curses over and over again just for the sake of try to sound cool, you know kind of like a 7 year old who just learned a dirty word. Both songs were clearly written in about 15 mins.
"The Worst Hangover Ever" is quite possibly the worst, most unnesicary song ever written. By any band. Ever!
If I neglected to mention one or two songs, its because they were that forgettable.
That being said, Rise & Fall, Rage & Grace, Offspring's newest album is 100 times better than Splinter. Rise & Fall isn't the best Offspring album by far, but its something original. They take alot of risks on that album and it truly sounds like nothing they ever made before. To me Splinter was just disposable, I'd call it pop-rock, but that would imply the songs were bubblegum and at least catchy.
