Diatribes aside, these southern California punks have continued concocting breakneck-paced songs that combine intelligent lyrics with rapid-fire rhythms and shredding guitar.\u003cbr\u003eGoing beyond their punk credentials means the Offspring mix in a few curves that keep the listener guessing. \"Why Don't You Get A Job\" uses horns and a steel drum to underline misgivings about awarding alimony for either sex. \"Pay the Man\" uses Middle Eastern chord changes to achieve an Arabic feel that eventually gives way to a punkier arrangement. Even on\"Feelings,\" the schmaltzy lounge lizard anthem, Dexter Holland's style of spitting out the words gives the slight number new life. The cleverly wrought \"Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)\" looks at white kids emulating an inner-city life style through the prism of daytime talk shows. Despite this experimentation, the Offspring cling to their punk roots with a steadfast determination that defines songs dealing with the pitfalls of growing up in the '90s (\"The Kids Aren't Alright\") and the emotional baggage brought into relationships (\"She's Got Issues\").\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/30\/2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Offspring","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44584841707753,"sku":"P3PVX6-ACXN-00","price":46.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/products\/the-offspring-americana-lpred_tX6qV.jpg?v=1737560821","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/the-offspring-americana-lpred","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
