 (7 Customer Reviews)
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.

Rancid Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews The weakest of the Rancid albums
Although its not a terrible album and there are some decent songs, it's absolutely Rancid's weakest CD. The biggest problem is that most of the songs are barely over a minute long and none are very memorable. Tim Armstrong is a great vocalist but some of the songs are sung by Matt Freeman who's voice is rather annoying. If you want the best Rancid CD go for Out Come the Wolves or at least Life Won't Wait, but this CD is on the weak side.

| | Rancid Let's Go CD (1994)
Rancid CD music
$10.35
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 ...
| | Rancid And Out Come The Wolves... CD (1995)
Rancid 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 fringes is a high-profile career now--"too much attention unavoidably destroyed us," they claim on "Journey To The End Of East Bay."
Throughout ...AND OUT COME THE WOLVES, Rancid keep their edge. They won't succumb to rehashing punk, instead giving it new life through their uncompromising songs. With so many '90s new-jack punks on the scene, Rancid are the real thing--not a band jumping on a bandwagon, or one that waited around for a style to be hip ...
| | Rancid Life Won't Wait CD (1998)
Rancid 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. LIFE WON'T WAIT is the band's most mature, accomplished release.

| | Green Day Warning: CD (2000)
Rancid album
$9.79
This limited edition of WARNING contains a 64-page booklet. It is packaged in a digipack in a green plastic bag.
To debate whether or not Green Day truly was or is a punk band in the purest definition of the punk ethic now seems irrelevant. If nothing else, they're a pop band who can't seem to help but write good songs--in the case of WARNING, some really good songs. This album makes up for any missteps the band may have taken since the fluke success of DOOKIE.
From the Katrina And The Waves groove of "Castaway" to the Beatles-esque harmonica on "Hold On," WARNING inspires a sense of musical deja vu that never crosses the line into out-and-out thievery. Hands-down, the most interesting track here is "Misery," which struts along with Doors-like quirkiness and goes through a progression of cultural movements that take instrumental turns in the form of deep strings, mariachi brass, and acoustic guitar melodies. If there's a warning to be found here, it's that Green Day has become a real band. Not very punk of them, but promising all the same.

| | Elliott Smith Xo CD (1998)
Rancid CD music
$11.99
The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting self-effacement and misery. The combination of Smith's internal angst and his melodic pop constructions makes for a compelling artistic tension.
Recorded at Sunset Sound, Sound Factory, Ocean Way, Sonora, Los Angeles, California; Jackpot!, Portland, Oregon.

| | Alice Cooper Raise Your Fist And Yell CD (1987)
Rancid music CDs
$4.95 
Alice Cooper mounted a successful comeback in 1986 with his CONSTRICTOR album and tour, which showed that Cooper's extended hiatus from the stage hadn't dulled his shocking theatrics in the slightest. A follow-up album was issued almost exactly one year later, RAISE YOUR FIST AND YELL, which was very similar in sound and approach to its predecessor. Dokken/Stryper producer Michael Wagener lends a pop sheen to Cooper's trademark macabre metal.
Muscle-bound guitarist Kane Roberts again collaborates with Alice on all of the tracks, while future Winger leader, Kip Winger, joined the pair in penning the ghostly ballad, "Gail." The album-opening rocker, "Freedom," is a slam against the P.M.R.C. (a group that successfully got warning stickers placed on albums it deemed controversial), while "Roses on White Lace," "Chop, Chop, Chop," and "Prince of Darkness" ...

On their debut full-length, Chicago's Viza-Noir continue to draw influence from post-punk heroes like Wire, Mission of Burma, and Sonic Youth, creating an amped-up assault that is progressive and primal at once. Like their sonic progenitors, Viza-Noir are adept at creating texture as well as intellectually charged twists and turns, but these qualities meld perfectly with their ability to rock with ...

| | Al Kooper Black Coffee CD (2005)
Rancid CD music
$10.09
Black Coffee is Al Kooper's first new recording of solo material in more than 30 years. While Kooper, rock music's most infamous polymath, has never been entirely idle (he has continued to sporadically produce, write, arrange, perform, and hustle), he has been living in semi-retirement in Nash Vegas since the 1990s and this is a major re-entry. The good news is that Black Coffee is a heady brew of loose, rootsy rock, soul, and funky R&B. Kooper and "the Funky Faculty" -- drummer Larry Finn, guitarist Bob Doezma, and bassist Tim Stein -- along with some select guests, turn up the inspiration dial to 10 and cut loose with a batch of solidly written originals that accent the gritty, immediate and timeless heart of a popular music that hasn't been so in decades, and a couple of crafty covers. Kooper produced and arranged the set and plays multiple instruments. The opener "My Hands Are Tied" is classically written soul in the Stax/ Volt vein. With a horn section, a trio of backing vocalists, and his B3 carrying the melody, Kooper also plays mandolin on the tune and it sounds like it was meant to be in the mix. He may be adding the first new instrument to the soul canon in decades. His singing voice is in fine shape here as well, turning in a tough, emotive performance underscored by Doerzma's ragged lead work in the break. This is followed by Keb' Mo"s "Am I Wrong," on which Kooper plays everything (and the mandolin is present here as well). This is a gritty, high lonesome blues that drips with emotion and atmosphere. The faux lounge swing of "How Am I Ever Gonna Get Over You," is tainted just a bit because Kooper's voice is not particularly well suited to the tune (think Leon Russell singing Sinatra), but it's a minor complaint and the arrangement is stellar. Longtime compadre Dan Penn co-wrote "Going, Going, Gone," with its slow, deliberate, and humorous look at getting old. Drummer Anton Fig joins him (he plays everything else) on a stomping rock & roll cover of Smokey Robinson's "Get Ready," that underscores the blues in the melody. There's also a smoking live version of "Green Onions," a rare instrumental here. The steamy reggae-meets-R&B mode on Hal Linden's "Got My Ion Hue," is quirky yet utterly gimmick free. And while Kooper's voice may not be ideally right for Lil Armstrong's classic "Just for a Thrill," he pulls it off seamlessly -- and his organ and piano work on the tune are stellar. Another live selection is "Comin' Back in a Cadillac," that goes on for nearly ten minutes with smoking horn and guitar grooves before closing with the soulful ballad "(I Want You To) Tell Me the Truth." Black Coffee is consistent and engaging; it is a better album than anyone had any right to expect. But as iconoclastic and unpredictable as Kooper has been in his nearly 50-year career, expectations themselves are suspect. ~ Thom Jurek

| | Jello Biafra Sieg Howdy CD (2005)
Rancid music CDs
$12.95
Picking up where 2004's Never Breathe What You Can't See left off, Jello and the boys return with the same formulas and dynamics found on the aforementioned album, and they are still doing it better than most people half their age. Kicking things off with the Alice Cooper classic "Halo of Flies," things are still as humid and dirty as ever with the Melvins, keeping things dark and warm with a layer of Jello on top for an interesting contrast. The rants are as visceral as ever, highlighted by "Lessons in What Not to Become" and "Those Dumb Punk Kids (Will Buy Anything)," where he ponders a world featuring "Malcolm in the Middle in the Misfits/or Mary-Kate and Ashley/Gary Coleman in Black Flag/Courtney in Nirvana at last/and Emmanuel Lewis back in action singing for the Germs." While he spins these humorous fantasies, he also chastises punk band reunions in the same song and remakes "California Über Alles," updating it for the 21st century using Arnold as the protagonist in place of Jerry Brown -- an interesting contradiction in every sense. Toward the end some interesting remixes by ...
| | Taylor Barton Vapor CD (2006)
Rancid songs
$31.65
A Long Island-based NY musician, Taylor Barton continues to evolve as a songwriter and especially as a singer, even beyond her breakthrough 2002 Dry Land release. Her burgeoning confidence as a performer is evident throughout Vapor, for example on the opening "Rio Grande" and the roof-raising "Seven Roses," for which she (temporarily) leaves her comfort zone behind for a Wall of Sound. With husband and co-producer G.E. Smith, Barton is still stretching herself with her fifth album on their own label. Her best yet. ~ Mark Allan
Chances are you have heard, met, or worked with Taylor Barton: a smart, multi-talented, singer-songwriter, writer, playwright, poet, dancer, and producer. She has spent over three decades traversing the arts and culminated into a 21st century Renaissance woman. Born in Baltimore, Maryland she started her musical training with piano lessons at age six. She enrolled in the Peabody Institute at age thirteen where she studied dance until her high school graduation.. She has been co-producer, and partner in an indie boutique label, Green Mirror Music with GE Smith (former SNL bandleader) for ten years. Barton's songwriting has clearly succeeded in creating a distinctive body of work that is highly accessible - very unique and original. Vanity Fair calls her voice beautiful and seductive. Rolling Stone calls her beguiling and raves about her recordings. Frank Hadley of The Boston Herald describes her voice as achingly superb. David Sprague of Newsday – she waxes poetic without slipping into pretense and uses decidedly non-hallmark phraseology. She has created her own musical niche, and can't be pigeon holed with her signature dreamy melodic rhythms. Barton’s music is memorable, haunting, and deeply mysterious. Barton captures a wealth of knowledge and spirit in her music delivering evocative landscapes of both body and soul. Her live shows are also intimately polished. Philadelphia's Cutting Edge: she charms her audiences with a chameleon-like versatility, using gutsy theatrics that are never overdone. Vastly prolific, she has released five CD's in six years. Rolling Stone embraced Dry Land: sweet vocals and far-reaching. AMG called it her best yet. She is debuting her new band Wicked Felina by releasing her sixth CD Taylor Barton, Vapor, featuring her collaborative efforts with the lovely harpist, Erin Hill. Vapor is Taylor’s best yet. Gorgeous musicianship and dreamy celestial sounds. Uplifting, hypnotic, porch toe tapping to storytelling, swinging and ethereal.. Edie Brickell singer-songwriterHer single, Not the Kind You Keep charted on AC stations and was featured on NBC’s ‘ED’. Other songs have been featured on Saturday Night Live, Conan, and Disney soundtracks. Her four previous releases, received rave reviews as well. She is the recipient of ten consecutive ASCAP Popular Panel Awards that she received in 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, and 1994. Her solo discography is Dry Land, 13 Break-ups, Skinny Kat, and Thoroughbred. Taylor Barton has also written five full-length plays. Her plays have been produced in NYC at Naked Angels, The Village Gate, La Mama, Musical Theatreworks, and The Woman's Project. She is the author of an award winning play, The Eric Clapton Breakfast Club. Her debut novel Hotheaded Saints is in stores now.
