THE OFFSPRING GONE AWAY ALBUM FULL

вЂњWe Never Have Sex AnymoreвЂќ is another stand-out tune from this collection. Still, it does feel like the anthem for lockdown life! For such a catchy song, it almost feels like the band simply couldnвЂ™t find a way to close out the tune on a high. Its only failing is the way the track just fades out. This is just a taster for the spectacular title track of the record, вЂњLet the Bad Times Roll.вЂќ The tune is almost perfection and embodies the very essence of The Offspring sing-along lyrics and danceable riffs. If it wasnвЂ™t for the distinctive sound of HollandвЂ™s vocals, it could easily be mistaken for an Anti-Flag track. The opening track, вЂњThis is Not Utopia,вЂќ is a politically-driven assault on the current state of the USA complete with fast-paced riffs and gang chants. The good news is that Dexter Holland, Noodles and Pete Parada appear to have returned to the drawing board with Let The Bad Times Roll as it really does capture the spirit of the early days of the group. ThatвЂ™s not to say each release didnвЂ™t have its share of bangers, but aside from the occasional tune, all were quite forgettable for the most part. The new piano version version can be found on The OffspringвЂ™s Let the Bad Times Roll, which is out now and available via the platform of your choosing here.ItвЂ™s been over 12 years or so since The Offspring released Days Go By, their last studio album, and it is probably for the best given that the band has, letвЂ™s be honest, only put out some mediocre records since 1998вЂ™s Americana. It was also covered in 2017 by Five Finger Death Punch on their A Decade of Destruction hits set, peaking at No. It topped BillboardвЂ™s Mainstream Rock Chart and hit No. The world is so cold now that youвЂ™ve gone awayДЄs previously stated, вЂњGone AwayвЂќ appeared on The OffspringвЂ™s fourth studio album, Ixnay on the Hombre, in 1997. I reach to the sky and call out your name The world has grown cold now that youвЂ™ve gone away Where the original was a full-fledged rock song sharing HollandвЂ™s shouting angst, the piano version allows for a clearer listen to the heartfelt lyrics. I know itвЂ™s not a direct connection, but it made you think about dying and about grief and about what that would feel like, and what if my wife would have been the one?вЂќ I knew I wanted it to be heavy, but I didnвЂ™t know what it was going to be about yet. It was right when we were recording Ixnay and I was coming up with the idea. Though no one was killed, Holland told the Bob Lefsetz Podcast, вЂњThe idea that we came so close to death was a real life-changing moment. The track was reportedly inspired by a real life incident in which singer Dexter Holland and his wife were shaken up after having to seek cover when an ice cream shop they were patronizing was riddled with gunfire by gang members. While The OffspringвЂ™s early years often featured some lighter subject matter, вЂњGone AwayвЂќ stood out from their Ixnay on the Hombre album for its somber tone.

We have been playing this version live, and we felt that this kind of arrangement makes the song feel more direct and more emotional. The band just released a lyric video for the track, while also explaining,В вЂњWe wanted to record вЂGone AwayвЂ™ in a completely different way for this record.

But a full 24 years after it was originally released, The Offspring could be primed to find success with an alternate version of their song вЂњGone Away,вЂќ which was re-imagined as an emotional, heartfelt piano ballad for their latest album, Let the Bad Times Roll. It happens on occasion and seemed to occur often in the вЂ™90s that bands could find success with multiple arrangements of a hit song (Foo FightersвЂ™ вЂњEverlongвЂќ anyone?).
