Splinter by The Offspring
Splinter is an album by The Offspring, released in 2003. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 50 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Hit That”, on 33 lists with a best position of #7.
Splinter, the Offspring's seventh album, came out on Columbia in December 2003 with Brendan O'Brien producing, and it arrived after a shake-up: longtime drummer Ron Welty was fired just three weeks before the sessions began, making this the band's first record without him.
What's left is the band's usual punk sugar rush with a few goofball detours. Dexter Holland still sings like a kid who has been told to sit still one too many times, and Greg Kriesel's bass keeps the whole thing snapping along. "Hit That" and "(Can't Get My) Head Around You" were the singles, both built for maximum bounce. It didn't match the band's earlier blockbusters and the reviews were middling, but it debuted at number 30 on the Billboard 200 and went gold inside two months.
