The Offspring? Spare Me The Details!

The Offspring - ignored by the "punks", baptized Pop-Punk, Punk-commerce or traitors, from "Americana" (actually already with "Smash") it was certainly more and more in the direction of MTV, therefore this includes " Splinter "one, but here you get a decent, from the first to the last track straight ahead rock album.

Who expects Punk and thus thinks of Ramones, Sex Pistols or even Dead Kennedys or Bad Brains, is here possibly after the latest "Hit That" off. But all those who is told what to deliver the Offspring by no means an attempt to Greenday, Blink to sing 182, Nickelback and Co.'s by radio.
A second "Self Esteem" can be found here hardly. But that is not necessary, because even know "The Noose", "Long Way Home" or "Never Gonna Find Me" to convince immediately. Without a break we go to the front and who is necessarily a reference, punk á la Bad Religion you get offered here in any case.
Nevertheless, The Offspring have their own moments. With "Hit That" they have taken care of a controversial among fans number, but of imagination one can accuse them so not because the song is unique in every respect. Then there is "(Can not Get My) Head Around You", which turns out to be true anthem and a real highlight of the disc and "The Worst Hangover Ever", which at the same charm as "Why Do not You Get A Job "lying by five years in the past," Americana "recalls.
A truly great power-pop number is created with "Spare Me The Details" and a "full-on-your-face" Rocker you get with "Da Hui"!

"Splinter" rocks like everything before. The hearing of the panel is fun, "No-Future-punks" are they still do not listen, you may enter it hereby and the best days of the Offspring were (still) only here to pass.
"Spare me the details!"
