And Out Come The Wolves - Rancid

Advantages: A handfull of the songs are pretty decent
Disadvantages: filler all over the shop, boring and repetitive

...years ago. My 15th Birthday, and I was completely into the whole neo-punk thing. NoFX, Green Day, the entire gamut of three-chord wonders. For some reason, getting a Rancid record took me some time, but on the eve of my 15th, my mum was looking for presents for me, and I clocked this album and it's follow up Life Won't Wait in a 2 for £20 deal, and got mother to buy and keep them for me.

First I downloaded a lot of their songs. Then bought their albums. Ironically, the ... Read review

...fed up with bad relationships and they DO have a heart, just ‘cause they have tattoos and shave their heads doesn’t make them a macho idiot. They don’t like having their hearts broken. They have “pain inside” (TM Staind, Nickleback etc.). Worst of all, these guys have “issues”. How convenient! So do all those teenagers out there who haven’t latched onto something meaningful. At the risk of sounds hypocritical, at least Nirvana had decent tunes to ...
...dirt on ex girlfriends (Nookie) and the nonsense rhymes of the theme to Mission Impossible 2 (“Now I know why you wanna hate me/’Cause hate is all the world has even seen lately” IT MAKES NO COCKING SENSE!). The backlash will be slow – and I do still feel like a hypocrite. Axl Rose was a damn good frontman but HIS biggest hits were – dishing the dirt on ex-girlfriends, and sometimes wishing them dead. BUT HE HAD THE MUSIC TO BACK IT UP WITH! In ... Read review

...is the bands 3rd album and was released back in 1995, it would always be hard for rancid to follow there second album "lets go" which included the classic punk rock song "salvation" but they have produced one of the best punk albums of the 90s in "and out come the wolves". Throughout there careers Rancid have been plauged with there reputation of being completely un-original and sounding far to similar to there idols "The Clash" this album shows ...
...of music including Ska, reggae and blues which are apparent throughout the album. There are numerous songs on this almost classic album that stand out as a cut above the rest, the first of these is track 2 "The 11th Hour" where the band have written a very good punk song. Time bomb, track number 4 is a two tone ska punk song that includes a powerfull base line and good vocals. Ruby soho is as close as rancid come to making a love song and its suprisingly ...

Advantages: immense
Disadvantages: the CD got scratched.

...Saw Rancid live last week and they blew my socks off. Maxwell Murder was immense the best bass line you'll ever hear, and when you first hear the album that will blow your socks off. every track is amazing and could easliy be released as a single which is the signs of a well made album. Other songs such as Ruby Soho, and Time Bomb, are well good punk/ska songs which last week got everyone dancing and singing along. this album has many catchy ... Read review
