Rancid - Rancid

...met with a mixed reception, Rancid decided to return to a more hardcore sound, ditching the reggae-infused sound that had become associated with them thanks to Life Won't Wait. Instead of coming up with a name for the record, the group decided to make it a self-titled effort. What made this strange was the fact that the group's debut album, released almost a decade prior, was also self-titled. Thus, to avoid to confusion between records, this latest ...

...transplants', in the band rancid the bassist is called 'matt freeman' and at this time he is suffering with cancer,but recently the played the warped tour in the U.S.... this album on the whole is good, but if i was to buy a rancid album it would be life wont wait, and also check out the bass solo's on 'maxwell murders' and listen to 'time bomb' guaranteed to get you up and skanking.. i give this album 3***'s but the band 5***** ...
