  1. This album, the band’s seventh, feels familiar in structure, packed with the usual two-minute bursts of aggression. But it’s improbably weighty and ponderous and unusually slow moving for a band that specializes in gnashing.

    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]
  3. They appear to be sincere in their sloganeering so you’ve got to admire them, but, really, the message of a song like ‘New Orleans’ gets seriously undermined by the shiny Busted balloon it’s caught inside.

    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.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. Full Review »

    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 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. Full Review »
