"What's the point of a clean version of a CD. It's just stupid. Your kids aren't gonna have nightmares of hearing some "bad" words. It's so blown out of proportion this cencorship thing. Wake up, your an idiot if you buy this instead of the origional."

Its pretty good...

"I think this is a pretty good Offspring CD. My favorite song has to be Cant get my head around you. Really fast and exciting. It overall doesnt have many bad songs except 7 and 12, other than that its all good in the neighborhood. If you dont already have Smash, i would recommend that first, but this is a great CD to have with your Offspring collection. (if you collect them, i wouldnt really know...)"

AWESOME

"At first, when I bought this CD, I thought the offspring had lost their touch and abilitities (this means i don't think that Americana and Conspiracy of One stink, they are both good albums). I figured that their day was over, or they were just lacking ideas at the time. So I had stowed this CD away in my rack for about two months, then I was bored and just listened to it again, and I was just confused on how I could think this CD ever sucked! The absence of its sound somehow made it better. Its main flaw is that it is pretty short. Here is a rating of all the songs from 1-10.1. Neocon-Intro, but different from those of the last four CDs. It has real playing and not just pointless talking like "When we're ready to sing, we step up to the microphoones and it comes out something like this" (Intro, from Conspiracy of one) A good buildup to a great CD. 7/102. The Noose-One of the best Offspring songs ever, fast-paced and loud. Lyrics are sort of apocylyptic. 11/103. The Long Way Home-Sounds Nirvana-ish. Cool. 7/104. Hit That-The accompanying single to this CD. Can't classify it into any genre. Pretty cool. Greg K gives a really weird bassline that is tough to play (Yes, I play bass). 10/105. Race Against Myself-Poppy, slightly better than mediocre. Sounds better-suited for Americana (genre, not quality). 6/106. (Can't Get My) Head Around You- Pretty neat guitar work, especially Noodles' solo with the wah-wah effect. 9/107. The Worst Hangover Ever-Ska song. Pretty weird, but fun. I hope this song helps detewr any drinking that may happen in the future.8. Never Gonna Find Me-One of the fastest Offspring songs. 8/10 The ending transitions to...9. Lightning Rod-Semi-fast, weird, and for some reason, chills my spine. That is why I like it. 8/1010. Spare Me the Details-The Offsprings' softest song. Pretty good. Sounds sort of Hawaiian at first, then adds distortion. The lyrics are about the pain a cheating girlfriend that is majorly increased by friends rubbing it in. I hear it is about a similar experience that happened to Kevin Wasserman (aka Noodles).11. Da Hui-About as fast as Never Gonna Find Me. Bass starts, then drums, then guitar and Dexter start singing. This is the song that created the need for a clean version. Still, pretty cool. 9/1012. When You're in Prison-A joke ending to the CD. Pointless. No rating.JUST BUY THE DARN CD!!! YOU WON"T BE SORRY IF YOU LIKE THE OFFSPRING!!!"
