Good but still waiting for the new album October 12, 2008 Lots of great tracks - many of which I hadn't heard before. Any Rancid fan will love it!
If you loved "..and out come the wolves" buy this CD July 27, 2008 Great album. If you loved "...and out come the wolves" buy this CD, very similar sound. 'The Brothels' and 'Things to Come' make this worth buying alone.
Yes, Yes, Yes June 18, 2008 It's all there and it ain't light. As someone else already noted... it does span the band's career which gives it a pretty rounded play. I too want a new album but this f***** WILL hold you over until that s*** happens!!! The album also has 5 bonus tracks that add a nice right cross to finish it off.
This album DOES put out. It won't disappoint.
It's a cool CD, but it may not be in the CD player all that long April 17, 2008 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
My honest opinion: after promising the Rancid fans a new record like... two years ago when they started touring again with the Explosion and we all realized that no, Matt Freeman is not going to die of lung cancer just yet, they needed to give something, SOMETHING, to the fans while they keep pushing back the release date of the still mysteriously unknown seventh studio album. So I guess the plan of action was this; compile all the songs that weren't on the first six CDs and put them on one CD that would stall for time a little for the fans that haven't picked up any of the compilations that these songs were featured on.
Well played, Rancid, well played. What's cool about this CD is that the songs come from different periods in time and Rancid's career. Since their sound has changed over the years so much, it's cool to be listening to one song and thinking, "Oh, it sounds like they wrote this some time around the 'Life Won't Wait' time period, and then the next song might me more hard hitting and take you back to their 2000 self titled. Ultimately the music can be traced back as far as 1994's 'Let's Go' and that's not a bad thing at all.
So basically, since this is a record of b-sides and there's nothing new, nothing about the sound has really changed. Matt Freeman is still the star of a lot of the tracks, moreso than he was on "Indestructable" which is kind of nice, he was definitely underutilized there. The guitars are nothing special but they never really are, and I continue my stance on their vocals; Tim's voice is amazing, Lars's is okay, and Matt actually sings on this CD too. I love when he gets to since because his voice is just so awesome and different, it's what made Rancid's debut CD so good. The standout tracks are "Dead and Gone" "Killing Zone" "Blast 'Em" and "White Knuckle Ride" which features bass to rival "Maxwell Murder" and "Axiom" and probably surpasses both. For any fan of Rancid this is a must have CD, even if Devil Dancing is really annoying and goes on forever.
But seriously Rancid, no more stalling. We want the seventh album and we don't want to wait another two flippin' years.
B Sides + C Sides = A+ Album February 25, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Hmmmm, could this be - a scrape the barrel of the archives cash-in album from the very band that brought punk rock back from the dead and championed integrity in the music industry? Yes. But, it is also nothing short of spectacular - and I'm happy to have my favorite, dust-crusted vinyl singles on CD at last. It ranks right up there with ...Wolves and Life Wont Wait and is a hair ahead of Indestructible among the best Rancid albums and side projects. Sure the rabid fan base can't wait for the next proper album, but this collection is more than enough to keep the pit jumping until then.
