Let The Bad Times Roll

Brand new sealed album housed in a gatefold cover.

Let the Bad Times Roll is the tenth studio album by American rock band the Offspring, released on April 16, 2021.[4] Produced by Bob Rock, it is the band's first release on Concord Records, and their first studio album in almost nine years since Days Go By (2012), marking the longest gap between two Offspring studio albums. Let the Bad Times Roll also marks the band's first album without bassist and co-founding member Greg K., who had effectively left The Offspring in 2018 amid business disputes; in addition to guitar and vocals, Dexter Holland played bass on the album, making this the first time the band has recorded as a three-piece. During the recording sessions for the album, the band recorded a stripped-down piano rendition of their 1997 single "Gone Away", which serves as the eleventh track.

The band's tour schedules, lineup changes, legal issues and the search for a new label after their split with Columbia Records, who released the Offspring's previous six albums, contributed to a years-long delay behind Let the Bad Times Roll. The band started recording new material for the album with Rock as early as the summer of 2013,[5] and after re-recording it at various studios and at various periods between 2014 and 2019, it had been completed by early 2020 and was ready for release later that year. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the album's release was once again pushed back to 2021.[4]
