3.5 great | SoundofMadness1 | March 27th 17 | Splinter is an album that's often criticized, even by the most devoted of fans of The Offspring. While it doesn't stack up to their work from the 90's, I don't feel it deserves the hate it gets. It's a solid album that's just held back a bit by a couple dumb songs. Songs like "The Noose", "Lightning Rod", and "Head Around You" sound exactly how The Offspring should. They're all fast paced, heavy songs with great guitar work and pounding drums. "Spare Me the Details" is one the band's "silly"songs, but is far more tolerable than "Pretty Fly" or "Original Prankster". It's very catchy, and one of the highlights of the album. While "Spare Me the Details" is a nice song, the number of these types of jokey tracks is one of the main reasons that Splinter has taken some heat. "Worst Hangover Ever" and "When You're In Prison" are both joke songs that most fans would probably agree could have been left off the album. They bring the album's quality down a bit, but certainly don't make it unbearable. This is still a fun album to listen to overall. I would argue that "The Noose" and "Lightning Rod" are still among the band's best songs. Splinter is a solid effort, and, in my opinion, The Offspring's best since the turn of the century.

3.0 good | Dromasta | March 6th 14 | The Offspring are a band I will always love for nostalgic reasons. Amercana was one of the
first cds I bought as a kid. Unfortunately that was these guy's last great album. They
truly have gotten shittier and shittier. This album is really where the band started to
show serious signs of age. A punkier album overall mixed with the usual straight forward
rockers, and a couple silly(albeit pretty bad) tracks. Nothing fantastic to be found here,
but not bad. As a fan for as long as I can remember, I can safely say that anything past
Conspiracy of One is not worth your time. Really I would just stick with Americana and
before.

3.5 great | brandiblitz142 | December 14th 12 | Better than RFRG. It has the offspring sound to it, even if it has some filler songs. The great songs make up for it. Its good. rRecommended: r-The Nooser-Hit Thatr-Race Against Myselfr-Cant Get My Head Around Your-Lightning Rodr-Spare Me the Details
