Album Notes
Rancid: Tim Armstrong, Lars Frederiksen (vocals, guitar); Matt Freeman (vocals, bass); Brett Reed (drums).
The Japanese version features one additional track.
You don't have to be a Rancid fan to acknowledge that the band lives and dies by the punk ethic of playing every note like it's going to be its last. You'll find one hundred and ten percent attitude and music that's as honest as you can get on RANCID (not to be confused with the band's self-titled 1993 release).
RANCID finds the band leaning away from its previous ska tendencies, and throwing itself head first into a full-on punk rock onslaught that should have fans of the early Clash seeking out the nearest mosh pit. "Let Me Go" has a chorus that sticks to you like peanut butter on the gums, while "I Am Forever" captures the essence and raw power of The Descendents. There's barely a pause between the 22 blistering tracks here, and it's clear the band intended it that way. "Rwanda" and "Radio Havana" offer huge sing-along choruses, while "Antennas" is unarguably the most melodic track in the set. But don't think that Rancid's getting soft; amid these glorious melodic moments, there's more than enough hardcore here to piss off your whole neighborhood.
Industry Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 - ...[Their] mix of American thrash minimalism and Brit punk's sound and fury have transcended revivalist mimicry once and for all....a brutally exuberant rock album...
Rolling Stone (08/31/2000)
8 out of 10 - ...A roots record scouring off any glossy residue left from the Alternative '90s by returning to pure punk...
Spin (11/01/2000)
3 stars out of 5 - ...There's a lot of swearing, a few handsome tunes...the sure knowledge they'd be sensational live and the sheer, unadulterated gratitude for the fact they de-ska'd the entire album...
Q (10/01/2000)
4 stars out of 5 - ...All passion, no fashion, no bandwagon desperation. That's Rancid. And that is true punk rock.
Melody Maker (08/08/2000)
6 out of 10 - ...Fast and furious...and now they want to bludgeon with hardcore muscle...
NME (08/12/2000)
...One of the most vital things the punk world has coughed up in years... - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly (09/01/2000)
...Pure, uncut Rancid: stripped-down, violent and vicious....a classic...
