5.0 out of 5 stars Rancid strikes back, September 5, 2007

This is Rancid's heaviest, fastest, and angriest release. Consequently its their best, but my opinion is biased since I like this type of sound better than their more down-to-earth punk stuff like Out Come the Wolves (though that is the best album of its genre).

As the other guy says, it's "new old school," drawing more from Bad Brains and Minor Threat in style than to the the 90's Gilman sound. Consequently its less melodic, what it sacrifices for anger is the fun and swagger of its earlier stuff (which they eventually bring back). For me, its a good trade off on this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rancid carry on punk rock to the millenium, February 7, 2004

This review is from: Rancid 2000 (Audio CD)

This album is nothing less than a masterpiece in the genre of punk rock. This is how punk rock was meant to be; fast, heavy, catchy as hell, and out of control. Old School fans looking for the "new old school"? Here it is. Though not only do Rancid live up to their genre's forefathers, they offer new ideas of how to make punk, incorporating influences of metal and bluesy guitar riffs and vocals into screaming-enhanced street punk anthems. The two opening tracks, "Don Giovanni" and "Disgruntled" just have to be the greatest most energetic opening to an album that ever was. "Let Me Go" and "Radio Havana" have a brilliant hybrid sound, somewhere between Punk, Alternative Rock, New Wave, Blues, and Rap. Lars Fredericksen screams with unstoppable power in songs like "I Am Forever" and the omnipotently intense "Dead Bodies". "Poison" is the ultimate anthem of anger against betrayal. Though what really makes this album amazing is that ALL of these songs are as incredible as music can be. My personal favorite track is the sad yet inspiring "Not To Regret", a harshly honest account of life and sorrow. These songs quite simply rip the current "punk" music scene to shreds. If you don't have this album and you call yourself punk, then acquire it or disclaim your status. Also check out anything else by Rancid and related bands (Lars Fredericksen And The Bastards, Operation Ivy, The Transplants).

5.0 out of 5 stars Rancid kills everything, May 10, 2001

I'm sick of all you people whining saying it's too fast or not like "Life Won't Wait" or not as catchy as "And Out Come the Wolves." Rancid is Rancid. A sign of a good band is when each album is an evolution of the past. When every album is diffrent that shows the open mind of the band. Rancid makes the best music out there period. It's all good whether it be ska, reggae, punk, or the "...bullet to the head.."[Johnny 2bags] style punk thats fast and doesn't "...give you time to breath..." Bottom line, Rancid is the best band ever, since day one. If your a real "fan" you'll love and cherish any album that comes out by your favorite band. If Rancid put out a totall hick, country album I would listen to it just like any other Rancid album...with love. The "Rancid 2000" album rules. Go buy it. 5 stars, 4 thumbs up, refreshing, new, hardline punk rock. P.S. Rancid will kill you!
