Amazing - By: Sarah, 15 May 2008 
I swear you will not find a better summery album anywhere. Put this mix of punk & ska on & you can feel the sun shining evenin the middle of winter.
Please don't be put off by the fact that the band are called Rancid, even if you are not into 'punk' this album is amazing musically (especially the bass playing).
This album has to be one of the best i've ever heard, so do yourself a favour & buy it.
Buy this bit of Rancid ! - By: DavyA, 24 Mar 2007 An excellent record, some cracking ska / punk tunes on an all round marvellous album. None of Rancid's albums disappoint & this is (arguably) their best effort. The Clash influencesin their music are plain to hear but they still manage to sound fresh & original, which is a credit to the band.If you were to buy a Rancid record then this would be the one but if you get this, then how could you not get the the others ?
Worth every penny, a punk essential.
Buy this album now!!! - By: Mr. A. Bailey, 11 Feb 2007 This,in my opinion, is undoubtedly the finest album ever recorded. This is not said lightly as there are some pretty damn fine records out there. And yes, I know, placing this above The Clash is a bold move but one I can happily make!!! I bought this when it was released. I never tire of hearing it. There is not one song on it that's inferior. I can listen to it over & over & over again without even thinking about changing it. No other album I have ever heard ( Give 'Em Enough Rope comes close! ) can claim this. If you don't have thisin your collection then shame on you. Buy it now!!!
Ska-punk fest - By: Some Bloke, 19 Jun 2006 
Rancid have done more mainstream punkin their self-titled album - which is brilliant. I was expecting more of the same with this, but didn't get it.
There's more of a ska/reggae influence here & it makes for a very different feel to the album. Having said that, I've given it 3 stars only because it wasn't what I was looking for. For what it is, it is done well.
The tracks are fairly original & these guys can all play well. There's some good tracks like 'Ruby Soho', 'She Don't Care Nothin'' & 'Roots Radicals'. There's a real feelgood sound going on & it's an easy going album.
I feel a bit harsh giving it 3 stars because there's nothing wrong with it at all, I was just hoping for something a bit less tame (like the self-titled album), but these guys have proved they can play, write, & adapt to different styles, so perhaps I should give them credit where it's due.
Most punk - By: Mark Simpson, 23 Mar 2006 Let's make one thing clear - some previous reviews have talked about bands which should not even be mentionedin the same breath as Rancid - & I include the Sex Pistolsin that. Outside the Clash, I struggle to think of a punk band that has produced an album to compare with this. Rancid may be from California, but this is British music through & through. There's no point dissecting it track by track because it has been done above & every one is a classic. Joe Strummer will always be with us as long as there are bands that sound like this.
