Let The Bad Times Roll is not the new flashy restaurant in town. It is the joy of realizing your favorite pizza shop is still open despite thinking they had closed their doors years ago.
For the majority of its runtime, Let The Bad Times Roll represents a welcome return from a band who undoubtedly make the world all the brighter with their presence.
Had this album been half the length, Let The Bad Times Roll could have been a stellar EP; rather it feels tired, forced, and devoid of a level of fun associated with the band.
With a good production, some of these tracks could have been saved, but by all accounts, Let the Bad Times Roll is the worst album The Offspring have ever made.

"Maybe, just MAYBE, with a cover like that and an album cover like that, maybe this record will be positively ... read more
I guess Dexter wasn't so fly (for a white guy) after all....not a fan of false advertising.....
Do I hate this album? No. Do I think this album is good? Heck no. For positives though, the production is often quite good, which when combined with good lyrics on Behind Your Walls (only), make for a bomb song that I can get behind. Hassan Chop also feels like an actual punk song with something to say about global affairs, and I think that is a highlight as well.
Alright, bad stuff.
This is Not Utopia: Man, these lyrics and sentiment are GARBAGE. It seems like every legacy band has some ... read more
