Since forming out of the ashes of Operation Ivy in 1991, Rancid has risen from a local ska punk group on the Gillman Street scene to one of the most recognizable groups alongside fellow groups like Green Day and The Offspring.
Let's Go is the second record to be released and marks the first recording as a four piece with ex UK-Sub Lars Frederickson. It suprising to hear the differences between Let's Go and the follow-up And Out Come The Wolves... as this sounds much more rawer and energetic. Read More
Rating: - Let's Go! A Blast From the Past
This is the Album that introduced me to the new East Bay Punk Rock Scene. The Album will blast you away with raw energy and pure tallent. Half the band hail from the almighty Ska Band- Operation Ivy, joined with Lars Frederickson of the UK Subs (briefly) and Brett Reed. This is Ska/Punk at it's best. More shine and production than the first album, and the superb Radio, Radio EP but less than the heavily produced next album "and out come the wolves". Not to detract from that album as it is a masterpiece, ... Read More
Rating: - This album will make you love Rancid
Best songs Burn, Let's go and nihilism. If you like the distorted guitars and the distorted singing of Rancid this is a prime example. I prefer out come the wolves, but I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be introduced to one of the greatest band of all time.

All the people who have dissed this album don't know what they are talking about. On first hearing, its not a masterpiece, but give it time and it will become the finest street-punk album you own. All the anti-let's go people must be "And Out Come The Wolves"ers, which, although a quality album, is not what they're all about. This is a fast-played, fast-sung, energised album with heartfelt lyrics about life in the gutter. That is what punk is all about. Thankyou and goodnight

Another Rancid album and this one is pretty good but not great. This album seems to be lacking the magic that makes the other Rancid stuff so good. It still has Matts amazing bass playing (its worth buying the cd just to hear that) but the lyrics and the songs seem to have no meaning and dont go very far. Out of the rancid i got (out come the wolves, rancid, lets go and rancid 2000) it is probably my least fav. Many will probably disagree but hay thats life.
