Buy Supercharged from Amazon
Californian pop-punk outfit return with an aptly-titled high octane, wild paced offering With Green Day selling out stadiums and both Sum 41 and Blink-182 releasing new albums, The Offspring were never going to stay quiet. Thirty-five years after their explosive self-titled debut, they return with Supercharged – an aptly titled, high-octane dose of pop-punk at its best. Three decades is a long time to maintain the wild pace of the band's early albums, yet the Californian outfit manage to do it with ease as they deliver a sonic extension of the summer.
Make it all right. It's funny looking back on it now, because Let the Bad Times Roll really was an unmitigated disaster by every metric imaginable. For a record that took eleven years to materialise, it was outrageously poor considering it was coming from a band of The Offspring's venerable stature. Sure, their output post-new-millennium has been a little tepid, but up until 2021 they'd never released anything as ugly as Let the Bad Times Roll.
