This is where it all starts. Without any reminiscing about their former band, Operation Ivy, Matt Freeman (bass) and Tim Armstrong (guitar/vocals) blast through their debut without any hints of ska or blatant Clash plagiarizing. On the contrary, this album rips through 15 tracks of high-energy punk that's accompanied by heavy bass leads and Armstrong's permanently slurred vocals. And to top it all off, the lyrical content deals with urban blight and the lifestyle of being a public nuisance. With this trademark sound, Rancid provide the perfect soundtrack for any car chase that includes massive property damage; is it a wonder MTV wouldn't touch this?

from Hemet, CA An excellent debut album. WHAT PUNK ROCK IS ALL ABOUT.
This is what punk rock is about. High energy, ringing power chords, and songs that always hit below three minutes.
To me, this debut album is actually better than "...And Out Come the Wolves", and it has none of the ska seen in later albums, but still manages to be incredible.
Even though Lars Frederiksen isn't present, Matt Freeman does a good job on backing vocals, and even opening up the first song, "Adina".
Definitely one of Rancid's best, and it's hard to find a cd this good nowadays. Some may have to give a few listens to "get it", but once you do "get it", you should be hooked. If you are into punk that is.
This cd was from back when Rancid wasn't as well known as it is nowadays, and before the success of "...And Out Come The Wolves".
All the tracks are good, but my favorites are Adina, Hyena, and Outta My Mind.
CHECK THIS CD OUT!
