"Let's Hear It for Rock Bottom"

Apparently The Offspring are still making "music".

Too bad, because the well has run dry. The new single, "Hammerhead", finds Dexter Holland riding the cutting edge, with lyrics about school shootings. Someone should let him in on the secret... you know, the one about how he's no longer the most relevant pop culture 'Dexter'.
(editor's note: mind the volume...)
Probably time for a new pseudonym.

Tepid, un-listenable single aside, the new album & cover is a real piece of work. The title is Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, which is dangerously close to the Foo Fighters' Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace...

and the plot thickens further. Check out the album artwork:



And check out the cover of another Foo Fighters album.



Is this just me being picky/paranoid, or do The Offspring wish they were spawned from Dave Grohl's perfect rock and roll sperm?
