 (19 Customer Reviews)
Ten years after Rancid's debut album, INDESTRUCTIBLE shows how far the CA punks have come from their beginnings. Initially, even their fans admitted their strong resemblance to the early Clash sound, but starting with 1998's LIFE WON'T WAIT they began expanding their punk-plus-ska sound. Listening to INDESTRUCTIBLE, it's hard to imagine that Rancid ever sounded like anyone but themselves. Certainly the influence of late-1970s British punk and ska bands can still be felt, but the sophisticated lyrics and carefully conceived (though still driving) arrangements are strictly sui generis. It's also heartening to note that they haven't lost any of their edge; tracks like the snarling "David Courteney" and the Motorhead-meets-Bad Brains fury of "Out of Control" nearly leap off the disc and throttle the unsuspecting listener. Now that's punk rock.
Rancid, one of rock's most influential indie bands of the 90s, finally makes its major-label debut with indestructible, it's first album in three years. 19 tracks packaged in digipak format. Hellcat. 2003.

Rancid Indestructible Songs Indestructible Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews The Return of Rancid
Easily the best album since "Out Come the Wolves," "Indestructible" revives Rancid's old school punk appeal with their unique twist on the genre. Notably, the song "Spirit of '87" captures the post-Ramones/Sex Pistols punk subculture perfectly, keeping Rancid true to their roots with uncontrived lyrics and a heart pounding beat. The only bad thing about this album is its separation from Rancid's older hits by some thoroughy mediocre song writing: if you have given up on these guys, this album should definitely revive your appreciation. A great punk rock album.

I'm not a punker
I'm not a metal-head either. In fact, I hate rock. I do love Rancid though, because historically, punk rock is about waking people up about this corrupt system and they do this in Indestructible. Also, I love movies and there's a song called TRAVIS BICKLE. Travis is one of my favorite characters of all time. Metal is dead, Punk is alive and kicking!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Rancid is not just any other band...
How can you say that this album deserves a 0...Rancid has, and always will have their own unique sound, and this is truly an album that shows it. With songs like Tropical London and Otherside, Rancid pays tribute to those who have come and gone. Without a doubt...5 stars!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No great
Almost all these reviews are wrong. I mean, there's nothing wrong with Rancid wanting to get a song on the radio. I was glad to hear Fall Back Down on the radio. Fall Back Down is an awesome song and it beats the hell out of any of the other BS on the radio. And worst of all, this idiot thinks he has the guts to talk bad about Rancid... AND COMPARE THEM TO METAL??? Metal is so moronic. Rancid is one of the few bands keeping the Punk Rock legacy alive. Buy this album if you have any common sense.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  A Solid CD
Rancid returns with another solid CD. Although it is nowhere near as great an album as Out Come the Wolves, it has plenty of good tracks to make up for some lackluster ones. I do not agree with the band's decision to radio release Falls Back Down which is one of the worst songs on the CD when there are so many other good songs including Ivory Coast and Django. If you like Rancid's music and already own Out Come the Wolves, then go ahead and purchase this CD.

With their eighth album, FROM THE ASHES, Pennywise continues down the same uncompromising and rebellious path that found them snubbing major labels back in the mid-1990s, when peers like Green Day, Offspring, and Bad Religion were hopping aboard the gravy train. With Byron McMackin and Randy Bradbury providing jackhammer rhythms and guitarist Fletcher Dragge firing off machine gun riffs, vocalist Jim Lindberg aims his crosshairs at plenty of political and social issues. "God Save the USA" finds Lindberg having a chat with the big guy in the sky and eviscerating a number of right-leaning demagogues ...

This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to ...

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 ...

Indestructible CD music
$10.35 (MP3 Available for Download)
The International Noise Conspirancy: Inge Johansson, Dennis Lyxzen, Ludwig Dahlberg, Sara Almgren, Lars Stromberg.
When The (International) Noise Conspiracy dropped their second full-length in late 2001, they couldn't have had any idea that in six months' time, pop music's spotlight would be swinging toward Swedish punk, thanks to the worldwide success of the Hives. But the (International) Noise Conspiracy are as political as the Hives are cartoonish, meaning that -- especially with their firm anti-capitalist stance -- America may not immediately embrace the more radical-leaning New Morning, Changing Weather. Of course, that's not what it's really about. What distinguishes New Morning, Changing Weather is that, like the aforementioned Hives, the (International) Noise Conspiracy borrow liberally from rough, '60s garage rock and avoid the stodgy, bizarrely overproduced punk associated with North American bands whose names resemble license plates (blink-182, Sum 41, etc.). That not only gives a record like New Morning, Changing Weather a hell of a lot more fuel, but it opens ...
