If anyone in the US needs a copy, they still have some at Acoustic Sound:

It says it's "back ordered" now.

Cause that one robot killed that other robot. Real sad stuff. I wouldn't expect a repress cause of the tragedy and horror.

I have like 6 records that should arrive all in the next week or two. Then I'll just be waiting on the Dexter Gordon TP (arriving early May now), the Blakey Witch Doctor TP (arriving in early April), and that Typhoon preorder expected to ship in August. The idea of planning for anything to happen in August just feels laughable the way things have been going lately.

Do you remember where you were when you got the news?

I do. I remember it like it was yesterday.

What's everyone's experience with recordstore.co.uk? I pre-ordered the new Goat Girl from them back in September (I am a huge fan so I ordered as soon as pre-orders opened) and they apparently shipped it at the very end of January, but, I haven't received it yet. It's my first time ordering from them and I now understand that there is no way to track the shipment. Are they reputable?

I have ordered for US delivery from them several times. And, they just replaced a damaged signed vinyl order at no charge with zero hassle. No worries.

Yes, I believe they are reputable. I've ordered two records from them--Angel Olsen's Whole New Mess with signed art print, and Live from Union Chapel by Laura Marling. Both eventually arrived. In the case of Olsen's album, there was some damage in transit and while they didn't have a replacement, I was provided with a voucher of equal value to use for a future purchase.

Their CS is great. I’ve had some issues with splits and warps, but they always replace without any hassle. That being said, their boxes aren’t the best quality, but that seems to be an issues with most UK/European sellers.

Thanks yall thats reassuring. Hopefully it shows up soon and, if not, sounds like they will take care of me.

The band's webstore just went live. I assume all other versions will roll out in the next week. New track just uploaded on streaming too.

Strong contender for worst cover of the year.

And worst single

 

[Vinyl&Kicks86]

really liked the early offspring albums but this band should've called it quits a long time ago.

 

[Russ I]

Wow, that went downhill in a hurry.

 

[LiamGallaghersBucketHat]

Never saw the appeal with the Offspring. Went to a show once where they were the headliners. Left the show after the Vandals played.

I liked Smash alright. Fun LA skater punk. The follow up albums though...not my thing.

Facts! I loved them, Weezer and Green Day as a teenager but I couldn't have less interest in hearing anything new from any of them now even though they're all still desperately trying to re-light that flame. It makes you really appreciate the few bands that can have that quality longevity though or at least disappear before it gets to this point.

This single is something else though.. It would have been pretty horrible as a deep lost demo in a box set way down the road but as a lead single for a new album? They really should have ended it before they even tried to become fly white guys.

Over/Under on the amount this album will make compared to how much the fine lady on the front cover is holding?

Ixnay On The Hombre is my personal favorite. Great songs.

I was obsessed with The Offspring in high school. But it's pretty cringy how they still write songs like they're in their 20s. You'd think by this point they'd either mature or call it quits.
