The band attempts to continue to deliver the hits on its seventh album, Splinter, while retaining its punk roots, and the Offspring succeeds on both counts.
-
MojoThroughout, Splinter's sound is powerful and dense, with The Offspring weaving and surging within it like the experts they've become. [Dec 2003, p.109]
-
Taken seriously or not, Splinter holds together just fine.
-
SpinThey're still pretty fly for old guys. [Jan 2004, p.97]
-
Q MagazineA safe, calculated release. [Jan 2004, p.121]
-
Alternative PressGranted, the Offspring have always dabbled in lyrical goofiness, but on Splinter, this approach seeps into the music as well. [Jan 2004, p.93]
-
The problem is that most of it is deadly dull.

MattM.Dec 30, 2003I am a very huge offspring fan and this cd is up there with the great ones (Americana, Smash). It is short, but very very sweet.
