 (8 Customer Reviews)
As if the '80s never happened, Rancid pogo from their retro mosh pit into mainstream success with their newest album LET'S GO. Splattered with growling vocals and lurching chord progressions, Rancid albums sound like the bastard children of early Clash and Stiff Little Fingers albums.
Barking out slurred, sing-along harmonies on top of a hyper toe-tapping rhythm section, LET'S GO plays like a relic from the late '70s rather than the '90s. Rancid's material boasts the anthemic rabble-rousing quality that made punk's energy so appealing when it broke nearly twenty years ago. Thankfully, they keep the energy vital and the material amazingly free of tired cliches. LET'S GO is an invigorating installment of punk calisthenics.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No dont listen to jeff
this album is one of Rancids best. the only other one that is comparable is the 1st S/T. like that record, this one is just of fun ride of punk rock. when i was in high school this album and the one before it and the 2 7"s were all that was needed for a night of underage drinking. but if you like Ruby Soho then by all means pass on this, its not as over produced and there are not any ska influened songs, an ozzy spawn, or b-real...

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Solid Rancid CD
A good CD with a few great songs. Not as good as Out Come the Wolves or Life Won't Wait but it is probably Rancid's third best CD. The best songs are Salvation and Nihilism. If you like Rancid's other CD's then you will probably like this one, but if you don't already own Out Come the Wolves then get that one first.

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 ...
| | NOFX Punk In Drublic CD (1994)
Let's Go CD music
$9.89 
Though NOFX have stuck closely to their powerhouse hard-and-fast pop-punk sensibility since their inception in 1983, their focus, chemistry, and songwriting skills improved steadily over the years, and '94's PUNK IN DRUBLIC is arguably their finest moment. If not for their in-your-face punk aesthetic, NOFX would qualify as a fine power-pop band. A knack for harmonies and deft, melodic hooks (which are seemingly tossed out left and right throughout the album) are no small part of the band's success, as the anthemic chorus of "The Cause" and the ringing refrain and "da-na-na-na" ...
| | Rancid And Out Come The Wolves... CD (1995)
Let's Go music CDs
$9.89
There's a saying that there can never be too much of a good thing, and Rancid could've coined the phrase. Their irresistible old-school punk and their ska-in-the-garage guitar sound are sure to please anyone who thought the Clash were the best that '70s punk had to offer.
Yet, considering their loyalty to the original punk aesthetic, Rancid sound surprisingly fresh. ...AND OUT COME THE WOLVES proves the band knows their fans and can still live by their causes. They're self-proclaimed "Roots Radicals," but this is a '90s band. "Lock, Stop, And Gone" is crammed with details of modern L.A., where there's "a fire on the corner and it's never gonna stop" and where "the killer in the neighborhood never got caught." There's also bewilderment at the fact that the punk that was sure to keep them on the ...
| | Rancid Life Won't Wait CD (1998)
Let's Go songs
$9.79
There was always something a little different about Rancid. Though they came into the public eye in the mid-'90s California semi-punk wave that included Green Day and Offspring, Tim Armstrong, Lars Frederiksen and company tackled the punk path more earnestly, with a greater sense of commitment than their peers. If they garner comparisons to the Clash, well, that's just another way of saying they have a social conscience and a sense of history.
In Clash terms, LIFE WON'T WAIT is Rancid's Sandinista. They've always included a bit of ska and reggae into their music, but this is their most stylistically diverse record to date, exploring the reggae influence much more extensively, and incorporating other instruments (harmonica, keyboards, horns, even steel drums) into their guitar-based approach. Though they're still as rough around the edges as any punk-derived band should be, the Rancid boys retain an undeniable pop sensibility that comes out in their infectious, eminently tuneful compositions. ...
| | NOFX So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes CD (1997)
Let's Go album
$10.35
So Long & Thanks for All the Shoes finds NOFX sliding away from their strengths and turning out a nearly undistinguished collection of rote, by-the-books latter-day punk. Part of the problem is the flat, processed sound of the album, which simply fails to capture the group's fiery, energetic stage presence. ...
