	Splinter (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Splinter is an album released by The Offspring on December 9, 2003.

	ROCKZONE.COM: CD Reviews: The Offspring - Splinter
		The album, originally titled Chinese Democracy as a shot at Axl Rose, the band chose Splinter so as not to get the album delayed because of possible entanglements the band might get into, and also for the thematic nature of the whole album, splintered throughout.
		The album begins with a huge kick in the form of "The Noose", which recalls some of the faster songs off of Conspiracy of One, with an added punch and dosage that was not in that album.
		Splinter is a definitely impressive 7th effort from the group, and doesn't disappoint very many times.

		Splinter Shards The Birth Of Seperation - * * *
		Splinter Shards is basically midpaced metalcore with little to distinguish it except the decidedly Christian slant to its lyrics and the exceptional talent of the band's drummer.
		The album is loosley based on the film Event Horizon which is an extremely terrifying sci fi horror movie about a lost spaceship which has crossed into hell through a space-time warp and come back as a demon posessed ghost ship.

	U-WIRE.com/CD REVIEW: New Offspring album will 'Splinter' fans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Their hit album, "Smash," was groundbreaking, but not in the way that the band combined punk attitude and pace with pop melodies.
		"Splinter" really follows directly in the footsteps of the bands previous album, 2001's "Conspiracy Of One," and while "Splinter" is an excellent record it never quite reaches the marvels of the previous, severely under appreciated and undersold, album.
		While "Splinter" is not the Offspring's best album, it certainly holds its own and listeners with an open mind could find themselves listening to this album as much as any other Offspring release.

	Rarebird's Splinter Reviews
		Splinter was essentially a two-man vocal group consisting of Bill Elliott and Bobby Purvis.
		Splinter was the first artist signed to Harrison's Dark Horse label, when it was still partnered with A&M. All of Splinter's albums are out of print.
		That album was the self-titled Splinter, which was released in England in 1980 on the Bellaphon label.

	Sneaker Pimps - Splinter [Germany]: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Splinter [+] is a superb disc, full of trancey, edgy psychedelia, interspersed with moments of blistering rock.
		Although the comparisons with Portishead [+], Massive Attack [+], and Garbage [+] are inevitable, the Sneaker Pimps have created an intricate album of trip-hop that is every bit as original as any of their contemporaries.
		While Splinter [+] may not have the standout singles that Becoming X [+] had, it is a stronger album overall.

	CD Baby: SPLINTER: The Emptying
		Splinter hit the scene in 1997 with a musical style so broad that descriptions have ranged from "acoustic dreaminess" with "entrancing lyrics" to "industrialized throttle" and "industrial with a heart." Subsequent years found the band touring the east coast, drawing fans from New York to Florida and captivating audiences with an intense live show.
		"Splinter is a modern rock band driven by their catchy tunes and meaningful lyrics.
		Their use of the acoustic guitar creates a full sound in their latest album, The Emptying, which is the only one I've heard so far.

	Splinter Review \| Offspring \| Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		The album was sadly, very short and could use to be much longer, although I can have enjoyed all the songs on it by the time I get to school.
		This album isn't as great as their other ones...and although the sound is good, it's pretty much the same thing as Conspiracy...perhaps a bit of Americana is mixed in their too.
		Although it is a pretty steady album it doesn't compare much with their earlier albums such as Smash and Inxay on the Hombre.

	The Collegian Online: Splinter'-ing from the usual (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		“Splinter” is the lost album before going “Americana,”; which essentially tried to please everyone, while staying confined to the shallow musical boundaries that Offspring knows how to explore.
		On “Splinter,” the songs are different enough to keep the listener’s attention, but then, no one could ever accuse The Offspring of being boring.
		By far the best track on the album is “Spare Me the Details.” The upbeat, acoustic guitar driven tear-jerker is a poignant version of what it feels like to be cheated on; at least, as much as someone who uses the word “ho” in a song could give.

	The Offspring: Working On New Album \| News @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Released in December 2003, "Splinter" is The Offspring's first album of new material since 2000's "Conspiracy of One." It is also the group's first recording without drummer Ron Welty, who left the band in early 2003 to pursue his career with a band project Steady Ground.
		Splinter was god-awfully short, but still kicked ass.
		Splinter was good, but there are better albums by them.

	Amazon.co.uk: Splinter [Explicit Lyrics]: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Offspring's Splinter, their seventh album, is delivered with much of their usual brio, seldom straying from the boisterous, semi-funky ska-pop that fuelled their 1994 mega-hit Smash.
		'Splinter' is the seventh studio album from Californian punk outfit The Offspring.
		The Noose has good guitar and bass, and is generally one of the best songs on the album, despite the terrible drums (which are done on a computer, and I'll be faulting that a lot) and the singing being average.

	Splinter : Two Man Band - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		As with their first two albums, Harrison contributes a great deal (including stunning slide guitar on the wonderful "Round and Round"), as well as providing his home studio for the recording.
		Bill Elliot and Robert Purvis (the actual members of Splinter, hence the title Two Man Band) harmonize perfectly throughout, and their vocals are strong, and although most of the songs are average to good, the production is far too slick.
		This album is not essential listening however, and somewhat of a disappoint following their first two brilliant releases.

	Jesusfreakhideout.com: Skillet, "Skillet" Review
		John's vocals are raw and raspy and fit the album beautifully.
		"Splinter" does not fit well with the rest of the songs and is a disappointing way to finish the album.
		All in all, though, Skillet's self-titled debut is a great album and a must have for all fans of good solid aggressive rock music.

	Las Vegas Mercury: Listening Station
		The album's obligatory gag song is "When You're in Prison," offering sage advice for the prison newbie that sounds like a 1930s-era folk field recording.
		The rest of the album consists of the metal and punk anthems that Offspring's diehard fans demand.
		If I had to guess, guitarist Noodles was listening to a lot of old Judas Priest and Dio albums before and during the recording of Splinter, as several of the songs reflect that early '80s metal sound (sans the solos).

		Yes the album is short, only about 30 min., but the songs have a new sound, mixing old with new.
		The Offsprings new album Splinter is definitely by far the one of the best if not the best album they have come out with.
		Even though the album is short if your looking for a qaulity album this is definitely it they have gone back to their roots with this album isn't a wanna be punk album like conspiracy of one and amricana.

		Splinter's second release on Dark Horse had a lot less involvement from George Harrison, which is felt throughout the album.
		Splinter is comprised of Bill Elliot and Bobby Purvis, both vocalists, who create a beautiful harmony...
		Out of all the albums cut by artists in the Beatles' orbit, Splinter's The Place I Love is the one that, along with Badfinger's albums, most deserves reissue.

		After two little-heard indie albums, the band blew up in a big way with Sm ash, one of the forerunners of the beast we now know as pop-punk...
		They aren't the band they used to be, it has to be said, but this album is their worst effort yet.
		The whole album, from start to finish, is a great piece of artistic work, and definitely The Offspring getting back to what they had, pre-Americana.

		There is a good side to this album though as some of the songs are quite different and the other songs are bland and boring.
		The drums on this album are infact real, and done by drumming Legend Josh Freese (Of the Vandals and Fifty billion other part time bands).
		This album is only lacking due to the fact that it's short.

	Paly Voice: Offspring's newest album no worse than harmless Splinter
		Farther along the album is a semi-acoustic song about a boyfriend's plea that he be spared the details of his girlfriend's escapades with other men.
		Maybe most pleasing on this album is the bonus track at the end, a song that seems to have come out of the 40s.
		Adding a slightly odd sound to complete the album, this song is a very nice wrap-up of the 31 minutes and 57 seconds worth of screaming and loud sounds.

		Splinter is a band with the deepest of moods swirling in Industrial Throttle and Acoustic Dreaminess
		Splinter played to a packed house Friday night for the release of their sophomore album "It's not about you." Fans old and new piled into The Chestnut Room in their home-town of Philadelphia, PA to witness the band bring forth live tracks from their long-awaited overdue CD.
		Splinter's previous release The Emptying (January 2002), is an appealing collection of modern rock tracks, combining commercial appeal with the lyrical and emotional depth Splinter's fans have come to anticipate.

	Splinter Group
		This is a live album, with the exception of the first two tracks which were done in a studio.
		On to the album at hand: Peter's singing is now a bit more raspy than years before, but he still has a very appealing singing voice.
		His other albums are worth purchasing also-- the two Robert Johnson tribute albums are nice although I prefer his "electric" as opposed to acoustic material.

	Rolling Stone : Splinter : Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Splinter does have its share of serious moments, as on the opener, "Neocon," a vague, Fugazi-esque statement of purpose ("We will not compromise/We will never lose to you").
		But mostly Splinter relies on a familiar collection of party-hearty and slamming sounds: catchy pogo punk ("Long Way Home"), sludgy pseudo-grunge ("Race Against Myself"), reggae-lite jams ("The Worst Hangover Ever") and lighthearted ditties about romantic dysfunction ("Spare Me the Details").
		Ironically, Splinter drags when the Offspring are most faithful to their roots -- trad-punk numbers such as "Lightning Rod" are a bit too reverential.

		They should have released some of those songs at least 2 or 3 cause the album is I think shorter than the self titled and even the self titled had 11 songs instead of 12...
		oh, so that's why they didn't put neocon in the album, which is one of the most pollitical songs i've ever heard.
		Splinter it a great album, but it was too short

	The Offspring: Splinter - PopMatters Music Review
		After a three year hiatus from their last recorded effort, the Offspring had an opportunity to close out 2003 with a killer album.
		A resume of mediocrity might be somewhat more acceptable if balanced by frequency and regularity; however, a new album every two of three years warrants much keener attention to quality.
		But when compared to many of the new releases by the current wave of bands, the album will be exposed as a half-hearted effort wringed by missed opportunities and wasted potential.

	Reaching The Cold 100
		It was a pleasure to hear "Reaching the Cold 100", a very solid album with memorable hooks, great playing and featuring a very tight band-- The Splinter Group-- I'm a guitar lover, and I'm pleased to report that the new release has plenty of tasty soloing.
		Peter's guitar playing these days is a bit more restrained than in the past, he has a mellower tone on his guitar, and to me I feel he has improved with age.
		The rest of Splinter Group must be given credit as well--- they are a very tight unit, and Nigel Watson is a fine singer and guitarist --- and is a natural partner for Peter.
