I was really into the Offspring from Smash thru Americana. The first two real songs on Americana were Have You Ever? and Staring at the Sun. They often played them live back-to-back. I felt like they had to. As standalone songs, both were solid, but the one-two punch elevated both. I feel the exact same way about Scared of Fear and React, Respond.

It might be my favorite on the album.

I think I’ve decided that until I can listen to this again, I need to subject my ears to three decades of steady exposure to hearing-damaging sound levels equivalent to that of a regularly touring stadium musician so that I can hear the mix how the band hears it. Maybe moderate to severe tinnitus would fix it.
