When he screams out "Jackass!" on "Over Our Heads," he delivers the word with a certain love of the word itself- savoring how fun it can be to simply call someone a jackass, regardless of who they are. Whe he snaps, "You're a walking punchline⦠and the joke's on YOU!" you can tell it's delivered with a wry smile. That aspect comes through more strongly on Wasted Years than any previous Morris release. Morris might be pissed off, but he has fun, too. That is to say, despite that Morris might be known as an angry guy, through that ire is a sense of child-like whimsy- a delight in the mere ability to be delighted.
If he stumbles over a phase that he likes, he suddenly start engaing in word play, amusing himself with how certain words work in conjunction.

If you've ever seen an interview with Morris, when speaking, he'll frequently wander off topic and suddenly start speaking in great detail about a band that he loves, or a kind of burrito that he loves, or a movie that he loves, or⦠well, any number of things that he loves. Useless," he's probably attacking former bandmates with "The fever has broken! I want my money back!"īut, while there is a great deal of anger, there's not just anger here. On "Void you out," he doesn't just want to beat up or kill someone, he wants to erase that person from existence. To be fair, Morris is angry here- maybe the angriest that's he's ever been.
While all those descriptions are accurate, on their third LP, Wasted Years, OFF! reveals that despite their thunderous smashing, there is a great deal of nuance hidden between the shouted lyrics and roaring guitars. Probably because OFF!'s music is so Spartan, when commenting on their output, people often reduce the band down to a single attribute.
