This clash of stlyes forms and album that will have long time fans of The Offspring pleased while feeding a sound that would please a new generation of music.

...ive noticed that my life is getting kinda pointless, i get up, i skate, i hang with friends, i go home, i argue with parents, i sleep. it seems that my life is losing its point and meaning, i need to get out, possibly leave home. i always wanted to travel across the country, living off what i can get. but that wont happen, im starting to just throw all caution to the wind in order to keep my life fun, but i think it will be the end of me.

whatever, i just wanna live my life
