Album Notes & Community Reviews

After an extensive five-year recording gap, the veteran California punk band returned with a heavily polished, stadium-ready sound helmed by producer Bob Rock. Driven by the massively successful, surprisingly sincere ballad 'You're Gonna Go Far, Kid', the record largely eschews their signature tongue-in-cheek humor for earnest alternative rock anthems. The album successfully reintroduced them to modern rock radio.
