No one can take away The Offspring´s influence on punk rock music with their classic trilogy of Smash, Ixnay and Americana albums. But, they released more albums than those three, each of them had decent bunch of songs, but also each of them never was great album in its entirety. This is long awaited new album and new music. What to say? There are 14 songs on this one. The story repeats itself. There are some good ones, like This Is Not Utopia, The Opioid Diaries or Hassan Chop. But, there are couple of horrible songs like the title track, I am sorry but I just can´t stand this one or We Never Have Sex Anymore. Was this one trying to play similar to Mad Caddies or what? Also there are couple of fillers on this one, like totally unnecessary In The Hall Of The Mountain King. Rendition of Gone Away is a great pop ballad, but not fitting to punk rock album. Unfortunately, this record has more bad than good songs.
