As much as I loved it as a kid (and still do under certain aspects) I see this album as the beginning of the Offspring's decline: they were looking for a new sound and stumbled upon commercial success with Pretty Fly and Why Don't You Get A Job and tried to go in that direction. The following albums were attempts, some more successful than others, to get that MTV airing time again, which made them lose their original hardcore punk fanbase and left them with no clear direction.
