I'm so ready for this, Days Go By was so underrated IMO. Offspring are a quality band.

Should be at least decent, but I wonder how receptive rock radio will be to this. They've always been a core act on both formats. I'm thinking they continue their alternative decline, but Weezer (tradition) and Royal Blood (heaviness) are evidence that if this is good enough, it can go top 10 there. Top 20 like Bush at the very least. And top 5 on active, where they have always been surprisingly consistent since the mid 90s. |

There was actually a period in the late 90s when they charted better on Active than Alt - "Gone Away" reached #1, and "I Choose" went #5, while underperforming on Alt. |

Looking forward to this. I hope Alternative doesn't f**k them over.

The Offspring is probably in my Top 3 of my favorite all-time bands, but unfortunately I see them doing absolutely nothing on Alternative due to the times. I'm not sure how they've done on Active in the past, but they've been dishing out hits for over 20 years, so I would assume they would get some decent airplay on there.

They've been pretty big on active over the years. BB Mainstream Rock Come Out And Play: #10 Self Esteem: #7 Gotta Get Away: #15 All I Want: #18 Gone Away: #1 I Choose: #5 Pretty Fly (For A White Guy): #5 Why Don't You Get A Job: #10 The Kids Aren't Alright: #11 She's Got Issues: #19 Totalimmortal: #36 Original Prankster: #7 Want You Bad: #23 Defy You: #8 Hit That: #6 (Can't Get My) Head Around You: #16 Can't Repeat: #10 Next To You: #29 Hammerhead: #8 You're Gonna Go Far, Kid: #10 Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?: #38 Half-Truism: #30 Days Go By: #2 Turning Into You: #24 I still think they can get to the alternative top 10 though, if they doesn't it will simply come down to it not being good enough. |

I didn't realize that "Days Go By" (song) hit #7, but what concerns me is that "Turning Into You" barely reached above the Top 40. That's a big drop-down for a second single from what you would think would be a staple at that time on Alternative radio. I shouldn't have said that "Coming For You" will do nothing. I guess what I meant was that it will likely do nothing in comparison to the past, but I still think it will get into the Top 30. Hopefully higher, but I don't have great expectations. |

We'll have to see. Weezer is all the evidence necessary to show that a good enough song will certainly do well. Besides, "Turning Into You" really wasn't anything special, IMO anyway. I know it's probably an unpopular opinion, but "Cruising California" was my favourite off the album lol. It's too bad that never went for alt adds. |

I was just thinking the other day about how badly "Turning Into You" got robbed. Glad to see them back.

IMO it was a much better, modern "Pretty Fly". "All I Have Left Is You" was a hit waiting to happen though, shame it was never released. |

The single cover references my favorite movie, I kind of like that.

Well, it's out. I'm relatively pleased, then again, I'm a big Offspring fan that likes almost everything they release. Opinions?
Edit: That intro that sounds like "Stuff Is Messed Up" from Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace!

That's going to #1 on Active. Wow, very strong return from them, that was WAY better than Days Go By when I heard that for the first time.
Might be their most active-friendly song since "Gone Away", which is saying quite a bit. I expect a run similar to Pearl Jam's "Mind Your Manners" on alternative.

Their best single since You're Gonna Go Far Kid. Should do well on both formats, given their reputation. It's also not heavy enough to be rejected. I predict #3 active, #9 alt, which would be reasonable.

It's a solid track, though I feel I've heard it before. Not that The Offspring have ever been a ground-breaking group but that hampered my opinion a bit. Still, I see it having success on the charts, probably not Alternative to a huge degree but it should do well on Active. I can also see it growing on me in the future. For now it's a positive impression but not a phenomenal one.

It's pretty solid IMO. Offspring are one of my favorite groups, there hasn't been much by them that I didn't like. This does sound like vintage Offspring though.
