![]() Nine years on from Days Go By, The Offspring re-teamed with Bob Rock for the sparky Let The Bad Times Roll. Out on Patrol and Tehran jangle with the anti-authoritarian energy of their best early tracks, while Crossroads is both impressively unhurried and noisily sure of itself. ![]() Though a muddy sound and strangulated riffs mean that this sounds exactly like a band you’d watch support Bad Religion or the Dead Kennedys 30 years ago, dig a little deeper and the potential the quartet would realise later is evident. The band’s self-titled debut did little to distinguish The Offspring from other West Coast punks at the time, but it’s not without merit.
