Review of “Days go by” by The offspring




I rented the newest album of the band “The Offspring” called: Days go by. To my surprise the album is really good and it's been on replay on my i-pod. There is only one song “OC guns” on the album that I don't like and it's the one most different from the others. It is kind of slow, it uses spanish words (+the whole song has a spanish vibe to it) and the instrumentation is cut down to half compared to other songs. All in all I think the piece is very boring and doesn't have anything to do with the other songs of the album. Their style is punk rock which is what I like to listen most of all now-a-days. My favourite songs on the album are the first one “The future is now” and the last one “Slim Pickens does the right thing and rides the bomb to hell”. The second song I mentioned has the most bizarre name I've ever heard and they say those words not in the chorus but in the verse. It is more unusual to have the name of the song that refers to words in the verse. What I like about the songs of the album is that the singing is pleasant to listen to but the instruments still play loud music that doesn't make you sleepy at all, one wants to stay and listen to the rest of the album after hearing the first song. The lyrics are also not very usual and common, but they have their own twist to it. All in all I would give a 9,5/10 to this album as it is very catchy and interesting.
