Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got the cd fast in the mail no complaints One of rancids best cds ever

I loved this cd, and the best thing is that it's loaded with hits

This is good album to pick up if you haven't heard the band before.

Back in August of '95, punk rock was in it's rebirth in pop culture and the third wave of ska had just started to make some noise. This record encompasses everything that was great from both scenes. Tim Armstrong shows he's one of the best songwriters, not just in punk rock but in all of music on this record, while Matt Freeman shows off his amazing bass playing on the opening track "Maxwell Murder" proving to be the best in business. This record is a cover to cover hit list. From Olympia WA. to Old Friend, Daily City Train to Avenues & Alleyways, The 11th Hour to The War's End, plus the singles Time Bomb, Roots Radicals and Ruby Soho. With the cover art paying homage to Minor Threat cover of Complete Discography record. This record truely shows where Rancid's original incarnation, Operation Ivy, could've gone. This is a must have for any music fan. If you like this record check out: The Clash, Ramones, Bad Religion, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Agnostic Front, H2O, Roger Miret & The Disasters, Bouncing Souls, Sick Of It All, Rise Against, Transplants.

This is a very good ska-punk cd. My only problems are that this style is so restrictive and this cd is a little too long for a punk cd. Still Rancid does this style better than most
