Oct 27, 2012I really enjoyed Splinter, It has alot of pretty good songs on here. however The Worst Hangover Ever is one of their worst songs. But the rest of the Album is solid.

davenSep 22, 2006This is middle of the road Offspring. It beats the previously released Conspiracy of One, but falls short to Smash, Americana, and Ixnay on the Hombres.

DaveCJul 23, 2005Not as good as the much older albums, but still a great offspring album and an improvement on americana and conspiracy of one

CollinBMar 29, 2005I hate the say the loss of Ron has inherently kicked the band into a whole new dimension of punk rock, but it has. Josh Freese is brilliant on those studio tracks, and Adam is fantastic live. And, is it me, or does Dexter sound as strong as say the days of "Gone Away?" This ablum is evolution, and it's a 10. But why, god why, is it only 30 something minutes?

steveyJan 16, 2004i thought this album was excellant it has its catchy songs such as hit that and du hai but the only thing that i found wrong with it is that it is way too short which is why it lost 2 marks if it was a bit longer then it would have been a 10. when your in prison is hilarious i reccomend this to n e one.

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.

SpudDec 29, 2003A good solid collection. Certainly not as good as the still jaw-dropping "Smash", but a must for any genre fan and highly recommended to everyone else

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]

Q MagazineA safe, calculated release. [Jan 2004, p.121]
