This is an excellent cd. Ive been a long time Rancid & Operation Ivy fan. I was lucky enough to see them play this, well, a few songs off this alubmn live in July. Great show but Im still bitter they only played a 20 minute set, ripoff for $45 tickets, but thats a different subject.

It is a great CD. If youre an old school Rancid fan, be sure to listen to it before you but it. Its slower, and a LOT less hardcore than their previous alubmns. Musically, this album is superior to their previous alblums. Much like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rancid is now maturing as a band and this alubm shows it.

Great catchy songs. Slower and more melodic than much of their previous stuff. Acoustic album included is interesting, but definately a dramatic change from the Rancid you are used to. In case you didnt read the info above, yes, 1 of the 2 CD's is all acoustic. Very interesting, but some songs have a goofball country feel.

Overall, if youre a Rancid fan you will like this album and its well worth the money. If youre a hardcore punk looking for a good punk rock cd, this might not be for you.

The first cd in many years since the solid Indestructible. This cd is even better. The songwriting is outstanding. All music genres are covered with solid hooks. Obvious it is not straight ahead punk like the earlier cd's. Just keep an open mind, listen and enjoy!

Rancid's new album Let The Dominoes Fall cannot be fully appreciated without the expanded acoustic disc. Growing up as a Rancid fan, they have never disappointed. I can always trust them to put out something good. For those who are looking for Rancid to sound like they did in '95 or earlier, keep moving on. Rancid is an ever growing bottomless pit of creativity. And as a fan, I've grown with them. While I admit, they should've been writing this stuff when Indestructible came out, obviously Tim needed that album to vent about Brodi. While holding true to their beliefs, they've managed to produce a patriotic album full of hope and loss and grief. "Civilian ways" is about Tim's brother coming home from Iraq. There's a love song for the forgotten "New Orleans", (which I highly recommend listening to the acoustic version. It does the song more justice giving a feel of a dark haunted love for the city). And one of my favorites is "Lulu" which is the family left behind. Rancid is back with the more poetic lyrics that I love so much. We can welcome back the likes of Vic Ruggiero who has graced past Rancid albums, as well as Matt Hensley of Flogging Molly (on the acoustic version).
