    This is a great album. Rancid is a great band. All these very harsh criticism towards the band is unjust. Some people just dont understand punk. This album is very hardcore. I loved it.

    A very solid punk-pop release from Rancid. It moves away from their older releases, which tend to be more along the lines of third wave ska. This album strips nearly all of the ska influences and takes power pop melodies and blends it with the short-fast rules of American hardcore punk acts like Minor Threat. Overall, while it is different from their older stuff, there's no denying A very solid punk-pop release from Rancid.

This album strips nearly all of the ska influences and takes power pop melodies and blends it with the short-fast rules of American hardcore punk acts like Minor Threat. Overall, while it is different from their older stuff, there's no denying that this is definitely the most aggressive, as well as most political, release of their career. Highly recommended.… Expand

    Rancid is Rancid. No one can take that away. You've got to look at the whole picture. Critics should go make their own albums.

    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

    This is an awesome album! Probably one of Rancid's most hardcore ones and I love it. I think they have finally moved out of the ska scene and into what is right!

    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.

    All the reviews do this album little justice. Rancid has never recieved justice in reviews because noone actually knows what Rancid was trying to do, they just think they do. As far as the music, Rancid is great music. This record is great. Don't try to compare it to anything or anybody else, because then you are just anoter critic. Leave the criticism to the band.

    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.

    Best Rancid album hands down. Life wont wait is a close 2nd. Rancid 5 is hard hitting punk/hardcore to say it best. It really shows how Tim and the Guys can really dial it up. Cant say theres a bad track. Matt's Bass lines are some the of the best in music period. I will have to say Tomarrow Never comes took some notes from this album.

    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.

    The harshest and most consistent album of their career.

    Their new record rules, but in the party-punk, young-dumb-full-of-aplomb manner of their eponymous debut and the following year's Let's Go--not in the guitar-often-on-the-offbeat, more mannered manner of . . . And Out Come the Wolves (1995) and Life Won't Wait (1998).
