Data Insight
Dexter Holland wrote nearly all of Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, the band's only album with producer Bob Rock. Rock, best known for his work with Metallica, brought a heavier, more layered production to the record after a five-year gap since Splinter. Holland's songwriting produced 'You're Gonna Go Far, Kid,' which became one of the band's biggest rock-radio hits and topped the alternative chart for eleven weeks.
