I don't think anyone would agree on which songs constitute filler though.Heston wrote: ↑06 Jun 2023, 7:33pmThe best of Wolves and Life Won't Wait would be one of the greatest albums ever. Both albums suffer from uneccessary filler.Kory wrote: ↑06 Jun 2023, 3:05pmLife Won't Wait is their peak for me (even if it's overlong by maybe five or so songs).

Re: Hey, remember Rancid?
I've changed my tune on this from previous views, but I actually don't really think they had filler on any of their albums until after 2000 came out. Wolves/Life/2000 is such a killer trifecta. Gimme all of it.

Re: Hey, remember Rancid?
Pretty interesting to notice how rancid are scrutinized/criticized in quite the same way the Clash/Joe have been: filler, millionaire, xerox Clash etc, completely setting aside (if not canceling) 1) the sheer integrity of Tim & co. (instead of a comfort ska/pop punk autopilot, they issued now an hardcore punk record) 2) the astonishing average level of their outcome along the years 3) the band musical palette (check their side project) 4) the blasting, second to none, live acts (seen them last time one week ago, thermonuclear blast as usual) 5) the efforts in order to support other groups (interrupters, to name one). Last but not least, who signed Joe for his 1999 come back?

Re: Hey, remember Rancid?
The Clash have been nothing but scrutinised here over the years. However The Clash unlike Rancid were not afraid of change and tried their hand at loads of different styles. No Clash album sounds like it's previous.johnny2bad wrote: ↑07 Jun 2023, 4:37amPretty interesting to notice how rancid are scrutinized/criticized in quite the same way the Clash/Joe have been: filler, millionaire, xerox Clash etc, completely setting aside (if not canceling) 1) the sheer integrity of Tim & co.

Rancid have loads of fans here and many enjoy their music. The criticism of them churning out the same stuff is fair I think. No one is complaining they think Rancid are not making decent music just wishing they would take more risks musically.
Their support of other bands is commendable. Joe being on Hellcat was cool but Joe could've signed to anyone really but it was great he found mutual respect.

I wasn't absolutely referring to the forum but more generally to music press, even though, luckily for rancid, the slaughter put in place by UK scribbles towards clash and joe is unreachable...

Re: Hey, remember Rancid?
Some press here gave The Clash a hard time but they had their fair share of supporters. People forget that the press were often harder here in the UK because they actually knew the band. Burchill, Parsons, Bushell, Kent had all championed the band at some point.johnny2bad wrote: ↑07 Jun 2023, 5:16amI wasn't absolutely referring to the forum but more generally to music press, even though, luckily for rancid, the slaughter put in place by UK scribbles towards clash and joe is unreachable...
But the whole thing was the band were not afraid of change even knowing the so called music scribes would tear them apart in reviews. But none of this mattered really as the fans always knew they were a great live band.

He was an arse in the first place. Hitting Chrissie Hynde with a belt buckle was some low shit. I would've punched his lights out.

Wasn't aware of that.
