Rancid self titled debut album carrying the legacy of the
previous talented Operation Ivy fame in but blending them with more hardcore
side effects in progress. Consisting as a trio as they started, Tim Armstrong
(guitar, vocals), Matt Freeman (bass, vocals) and Brett Reed (drums, backing
vocals) recorded these fifteen tracks telling stories about Gilman street’s
neurotic areas with its bad memories, maggots and buddies. Proudly produced by
Dannell Cameron on Westbeach Recorders; the Rancid album is a good example of
the next generation of Punk Rock Sounds from the infamous East Bay area,
complete with its aggressive music (fast tempo and even faster – almost chaotic
bass compositions), straight up + no bullshit lyrics and a small amount of pop
sensibility. Stereo blaster pogo-rock anthems like Animosity, Rejected, The
Bottle, Trenches, Unwritten Rules, Another Night, Injury and Rats in The
Hallway are parts of thus slamming moshpit kids get bored in a caught up men’s
trap named modern life. A cool starts for the once again proclaiming that punks
NOT dead !
