    Rancid's strength is singer Tim Armstrong's touching depictions of the world; from his heritage on 'East Bay Night' to swimming through the devastation of hurricane-stricken New Orleans and on his brother's time in Iraq on the acoustic 'Civilain Ways.'
  2. By making a record that solely lives up to the standards they've set themselves, Rancid have maintained their dedication to the punk ethos with a resonance that will shine longer than the dozen rewrites of "Ruby Soho" some fans want from them. [Jul 2009, p.121]

    Thier latest dusts off their usual blend of late-'70s Clash-styled punk, ska and dub reggae, but applies topspin via 'Civilian Ways,' a bluesy folk exercise inspired by the return of Armstrong's brother from Iraq. [Sep 2009, p.92]

    It's true that this is a softer Rancid than that of years gone by, but this is nonetheless an incredible pop, punk, country and ska album. It did take me a few listens to get into. An early contender for album of the year. Expand

    This is one of the best albums I have heard in years. Thankfully Rancid has stayed true to their sound, but you don't have to be a punk to enjoy it. Expand

  3. Great Album. Not nearly as good as And Out Come the Wolves but that is a legendary album. LTDF is real good and is a fun energetic listen. Love the song You Want it You got it. Tim, Lars, and Matt are 3 punk gods and they are still doing great things. Expand
