    honestly, this band is totally selling out, smash was a truly amazing album, and the offspring is totally capable of better music. this album makes no sense at all. the offspring is way more capable of making better music, and this album is just lame.

    The band attempts to continue to deliver the hits on its seventh album, Splinter, while retaining its punk roots, and the Offspring succeeds on both counts.

    Throughout, Splinter's sound is powerful and dense, with The Offspring weaving and surging within it like the experts they've become. [Dec 2003, p.109]

    A safe, calculated release. [Jan 2004, p.121]
