Customer Reviews

Buy this or have no taste
I recently bought this along with three other Rancid albums. When I got home, I put three of them in my stereo. When I pressed the 'random' button, this was the first one that played.

It was only seconds before I realised it was good, but then...

1 minute and 1 second into the first song (a couple of seconds into the frankly unbelievable bass solo) was when I realised that it was just INCREDIBLE.

I'm generally a sucker for bands that have decent bassists, but Rancid's bass player, Matt Freeman, is just f**king incredible, like words can't do his bass playing justice. Listen to 'Maxwell Murder' and all becomes apparent.

Despite being astounding, Matt doesn't hold the band up on his own...the guitars buzz, wail and thrash about as if their not falling apart depended on it, the gravelly vocals fit the style of music like a glove, and the ska-style drumming (which fits brilliantly with any music as far as I'm concerned - see Blink 182) just blows the whole sound into space.

If anyone wants to hear a quality (ska?) punk album, with various influences, this is a good example of ace music.

If there are any bass players out there reading this, just buy it now. Then you can plan how you're gonna one day be as good as him.

Unrivalled talent!
This album is a work of genius, how could anyone give it three stars, with its postion at six on the best punk albums of all time, this album hits the bullseye everytime.
The music is a mixture of reggae, ska and good old fashioned mosh around punk, with classics such as time bomb, junkie man, you dont care nothin', roots radicals and ruby soho (competitor for best punk song of all time, this band seem to be able to do no wrong.
give it a week and this will be the only album you will want to listen to, this is what punk should sound like!!.

Genius
the only way i could pursuade anyone to buy this album is by telling them that this is simply THE greatest album i have bought in my entire (32year) life!! totally & utterly, utterly, UTTERLY incredible! i just realised i'm actually listening to it now whilst typing this!! buy it - love it - Rancid are gods and this is their finest album to date. Sell all your other CD's -you wont need them! why listen to anything else when they cant possibly compare to this masterpiece.
