    This collection of urgent, gravel voiced anthems is one of the most vital things the punk world has coughed up in years.

    Sometimes it sounds like someone grafted the Who's Live at Leeds and the first Minor Threat EP together. Yes, it's that good. [#2, p.103]

    The harshest and most consistent album of their career.
  4. HOB.com
    80
    This self-titled effort is the kind of wall-to-wall spitting, snarling aggression that they haven't fully unleashed on the world since Let's Go.
  5. Wall of Sound

    But as the songs blow by like so much sonic shrapnel, Rancid runs the risk of trying to say too much too quickly and losing its voice amid the ranting, raging blur.
  6. Rolling Stone
    70
    With Rancid, the band's mix of American thrash minimalism and Brit punk's sound and fury have transcended revivalist mimicry once and for all. The result is a brutally exuberant rock album.
  7. Sonicnet

    In an age of "been there, done that" cynicism, Rancid come across like true believers...

    Lars, Tim, Brett, and Matt from Rancid are the gods of punk. Without the amazing bass playing of Matt, the fast beats of Brett, vocals and Lars, Tim, Brett, and Matt from Rancid are the gods of punk. Without the amazing bass playing of Matt, the fast beats of Brett, vocals and guitar from Lars and Tim, Rancid, of course would be nothing. Best of luck always and get out to do a European tour!!!!!!!!1… Expand

    I understand why the critics write as they do, but it's sad they can't see the error in their ways. There is no way possible they I understand why the critics write as they do, but it's sad they can't see the error in their ways. There is no way possible they have listened to it enough to actually comprehend what Rancid speaks of. Please do not use ska and comedy in the same sentnce. Life Won't wait was an incredible album. Rancid is Rancid.… Expand

    I absolutely love this band, however I think this record is a little disappointing after 1998's great "Life Won't Wait."

I do understand the thought process in going back to their hardcore punk roots because of the criticism from their fans.… Expand
