..A band writing songs they aren't physically capable of singing because they don't have the vocal power they had ten years ago?
There's a few bands who are guilty, but The Offspring reminded me of it just before with You're Gonna Go Far Kid.
Dexter Holland is really fat now. I think this theory is correct with songs like Gone Away, but i don't notice it as much with You're Gonna Go Far Kid.
You're gonna go far kid sounds awesome to me (haven't heard it live though). Then again, I don't know any older Offspring music so I can't compare.
Mainly the chorus, cringeworthy. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NKCPUMYnUXw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Doubt one direction would have sang any better 10 years ago... They couldn't have been much worse, but they wouldn't be better.
