I couldn't help but laugh when Matt's voice kicked in on the 2nd song. He sounds like Scooby-Doo gargling.

That first song though (after one listen) is the best thing since "Bloodclot"!

What did you think of the last album? I heard it about three years after it came out — I got the record on release, but was really dreading putting it on. Much better than I thought it'd be.

Tim's starting to look kinda fat.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

In the second song they (or maybe just Tim) seem to be singing Honor, heavy emphasis on the H instead of http://static.sfdict.com/staticrep/dict ... 363900.mp3

I do like these songs.

Tim did seem to have a difficult time with hard P and T enunciations on his Tim Timebomb stuff. This is a vast improvement.

I've spent the past week listening to the RRR EP, R93, Let's Go, R2000 and Indestructible and can testify: Rancid are fucking awesome.

... on repeat. :cool:

If, incidentally, people haven't heard the EP above, definitely check it out. Different to/faster/more brutal than the Let's Go tracks.

Seconded on that. RRR is awesome. There's also a bootleg out there called Demolition Sessions with further alternate faster/more brutal takes on the Let's Go tracks (Dope Sick Girl and St. Mary being particularly notable takes).

Rancid trivia: in the runout grooves of the 7" of RRR, one can find the words "Thats A Lot Of Radios" (sic) and "There's Two E's In Feeling" (song is printed as "Just A Felling" on the label)

Just listened to the new Rancid all the way through. This is their best album since R2000, and it's not even close for me. Hitting repeat on 'In The Streets' and the title track (love Matt Freeman's puppet voice). Only one reggae-ish song (Everybody's Suffering) and it's a killer. I would trim 'Diabolical' from three minutes to 90 seconds, but besides that, this is bulletproof and I can't wait to play it at top volume in the car tomorrow.

Hello,

I've enjoyed the album thus far. It's good, solid Rancid. There's a lot of call/response stuff which should be fun live. Nothing surprising but so what? It's solid rock and roll.
