This has to be the most disappointing album I've picked up in quite a long time. It's not bad, per se. But this new direction of alternate soft rock and unenthusiastic punk tunes isn't doing the job. I do like that they were experimenting with new sounds, but the results are mixed at best. Comparing this album to past Offspring albums is a fools quest, and isn't a fair analysis (apples to chicken wings). But as it stands alone, there is nothing spectacular about Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace.
