Review Score:

(10/10)
All you are dumb @$$s, how can u say the Offspring sold out because of ONE SONG!?! that being pretty fly (which is actually a follow up to Come Out and Play anyways)! while 90% of this CD is a PUNK ROCK CD!!!! She's Got Issues isnt a sell out, being its the follow up to Self Esteem, same with Why Dont You Get a Job? being the follow up to What Happened To You? the most u can say is that these 3 songs are poppy, but THATS IT. the rest are all punk and all AWESOME!!! and anyone that compares this to Blink's sell out with Enema of the State can DIE! its just a couple songs u can say are "poppy" but thats it. this is NOT a sell out and the same old awesome Offspring!

1. Welcome - (0/10) its just an intro, so nothing to rate really.

2. Have You Ever (10/10) - This is a great, powerful typical punk-rock Offspring song! great fast opener!

3. Staring at the Sun (10/10) - Very original and awesome punk song!! keeps getting faster!

4. Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) (7/10) - While entertaining and a good song, it gets old a bit fast.

5. The Kids Arent Alright (10/10) - Most people have heard this and know it is AWESOME!! everyone loves this punk-rock song :)!

6. Feelings (6/10) - Features Davey from AFI, its a cover, and its a kinda annoying, my least favorite on the CD.

7. She's Got Issues (8/10) - While not the best, this is a good song and a great follow up to "Self Esteem"

8. Walla Walla (6/10) - Second worst song on the CD, i dont know its just not for me, a "fun punk song" one could say

9. End of the Line (10/10) - AWESOME high quality punk! seems like the follow up to Smash's "Genocide"

10. No Breaks (10/10) - the song that got me into Offspring, fast, angry, agressive. It has awesome guitar and vocals!

11. Why Dont You Get a Job? (9/10) - An entertaining song, as long as your in the mood for it its really fun to listen to.

12. Americana (10/10) - Another GREAT fast punk song! the "whoa"'s in here are great!

13. Pay The Man (9/10) - Slow at first, but a really good song, if only the intro wasnt soooo long!

All in All: While not the most solid Offspring CD (see Ixnay on the Hombre) this has many of the Offspring's best songs on it, and it is NOT pop! only 3 songs could be considered poppy on this CD!
