Let the Bad Times Roll

Let the Bad Times Roll is the tenth studio album by The Offspring, released on 16 April 2021. Produced by Bob Rock, it was their first record for Concord Records after six albums with Columbia, and it arrived nine years after Days Go By, the longest gap between any two of their studio albums.

The wait has a story behind it. Recording began with Rock as early as the summer of 2013, and the songs were reworked at various studios until the album was finished in 2020. Touring, line-up changes, legal issues, the hunt for a new label and the pandemic all pushed it back. It is also the first Offspring album without co-founding bassist Greg K., who was fired in 2018. Dexter Holland covered the bass parts, even though Todd Morse had joined and appears in the videos for the title track and "This Is Not Utopia". It was the last album with drummer Pete Parada.
