Builds in to a big chorus, but as I giggle along to it and it’s cute little keyboard and autotuned ‘California’ reference, you can see this as one of those Offspring songs that they’re known for. Dexter half raps / talks through the verses and he can do it, not many can. ‘Cruising California (Bumpin’ In My Trunk)’ this is happy, I like this, it sounds NOTHING like the last five songs at all, where did this come from? I want to not like this, but I can’t.
Not to mention the trademark ‘oh oh oh oh oh’s’ you all know from previous works of these guys. ‘Hurting as One’ takes on more of that speedy punk vibe in the song but with a great musical vibe to it. I can hear this on the radio, it would work.
I know bands that would love to write a song like this, nice work guys, I’m already singing along second chorus in, good sign. I am enjoying this album so far, I was hesitant, but here we are three in and it’s pretty damn good!Īgain… this is rockin’ am I sure I’m hearing the same band that gave us these novelty type tracks previously? ‘Turning Into You’ is awesome, I know that’s a general word, but it is. The breakdown here is well done and this would be frantic to hear live! Title track ‘Days Go By’ is up next and I can’t help but get that Foo Fighters’ Times Like These’ vibe from it but in a complimentary way, the riff just hits that same groove and the song has that great middle of the road rock feel. I like this one, complete with guitar solo, I mean, seriously, I keep saying it but it’s the way to my heart. They waste no time with ‘Secrets From The Underground’ again, rockin’ as they come, well as rockin’ as The Offspring come anyway. Off to a strong start with ‘The Future Is Now’ I love the vibe they’ve set up, it’s a straight forward rocker with a nice catchy little chorus, although there is no doubt at all its Dexter singing, his vocals are so unique that you instantly know it’s an Offspring track. With once again with legendary rock producer Bob Rock, yes, that Bob Rock who has worked with bands such as Bon Jovi, Metallica, Motley Crue and many more, should be able to put a great spin on the new album as he did on their 2008 album ‘Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace.’ Always loving what Bob does, let’s listen and see what we’re in for. The main reason I’m here, other than to throw in quotes or song titles is to talk about The Offspring’s new album ‘Days Go By.’ Now, The Offspring aren’t everyone’s kettle of fish and it’s fair to say have become somewhat of a novelty band, but they do have some great pop punk rock songs outside of the those that have helped them forge their career, so let’s see how the balance is on this new release…
I remember hearing The Offspring for the first time in 1994 when they asked us to ‘Come Out And Play’ and we had to ‘keep them separated… ‘and from there they’ve managed to stand the test of time, giving us hits along their career, proving they’re pretty fly for a pack of white guys. Is this album something that should be enjoyed by as many as possible though? Hell yes.” In Summary: “Will The Offspring ever change the world with their music? No.
