Let's Go by Rancid

Pros: Rough punk, lyrics, raw, instrumentation is right on
Cons: A little hard to get into, some songs sound alike

Since I first listened to Rancid’s recent hit Indestructible I have been a humongous fan of the band. When I later bought their remarkable …And Out Come The Wolves and Rancid 2000 albums I had a feeling that this band was one of the ...

Pros: Good quality inner city street punk.
Cons: Songs start blending together towards the end.

Recall the 1994-95 musical era. The G word was all the rage, yet a new form of Punk was becoming popular and threatening to unseat the G sound. This punk was mall punk for suburban teenagers and it was perfectly personified by Green Day. At the same ...

Pros: Very Solid Musically, Plenty of Catchy Songs
Cons: About Half the Songs Are Musically Similar

Let's Go!, released in 1994, is the second full LP released by Rancid following their self-titled effort in 1993. Their sound in the first CD was a more brash and fiery sound than Let's Go. It also introduced a new member into Rancid that would become ...

Pros: Err, a few ok songs, they are great musicians.
Cons: The majority of the songwriting is terrible, 90% of songs sound the same

When I was 15 and hugely into the whole modern 'punk' scene, one of my favourite bands was Rancid. The first two albums of theirs I got were ...And out come the Wolves and Let's Go and I enjoyed them both to varying degrees. That year, the band's 5 album ...

Pros: A few good punk songs that display a good understanding of the musical style
Cons: Far too many tracks and far too many insignifcant, repetitive and at times awful songs

This album has done nothing but hurt me since I first bought it. Firstly, I was ripped off at the music shop by some git behind the counter who made me pay £10 for this, as opposed to the price of £6.99 on the sticker. I wasn’t really paying attention in ...

Pros: Great songwriting, really catchy punk music
Cons: Songs can sound the same after a while

Most of you are already familiar with the whole Operation Ivy --> Rancid thing.. if you don't know, basically Operation Ivy was this ska band from Berkeley, CA, which broke up in '89.. Rancid's Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman started in Operation Ivy....

Pros: catchy, an all-around great and honest punk rock record.
Cons: less experimental than some other Rancid records, but that is not a bad thing.

I picked up Let's Go! when it was still new and it was one of the first records I was really passionate about. I was 14 years old and Rancid was my answer to the Sex Pistols. I found myself attracted to their musical style, talent, attitude, and even...

Pros: good, fast punk
Cons: repetitive song structure

Rancid: Let's Go. 1994. 2nd album. Epitaph.

As far as Rancid's five albums (thus far), this one of the most consistent. It contains 23 songs, all generally fast, 1-2-3-4 street-punk in style. The album is heavy on verse-chorus-verse song...

Pros: fast, crazy, multiple tracks for long time listening, all together great, cheap price.
Cons: none.

When ex-OpIv bandmates Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman along with Brett Reed teamed up with Lars Fredriksen for Rancid's sophomore release "Let's Go!" they made a wise choice. While the bands first release was a great album, this one was levels above it....

Pros: Catchy, punk rock with great songs
Cons: To some people, the songs may be too similar

Rancid's follow up to their debut album features the addition of Lars Fredericson on guitar. Rancid takes Ramones' influenced punk and mixes it with their own style of East Bay Punk. "Let's Go" is chock-full of punk energy as depicted in such songs as...

Pros: the music is awesome and worthy of buying
Cons: hope you have the money to buy a CD

Out of all of Rancid's many CD's and tapes they produced, my favorite was Let's Go. I first seen this band perform on the Headbangers Ball on MTV for all of you that remember that show. I though Tim Armstrong(the lead vocalist) was a hottie. I went to...

Pros: combines punk beats with catchy guitar rythems and lyrics
Cons: none really is a kick ass cd

Let's go really shows the energy in Rancid's music. I bought this cd cause i wanted to hear Rancid. I didnt know many of their songs and i didnt know much about them and I heard that this album is one of their best. Each song is packed with energy and...

Pros: rocking, punk
Cons: none really

In case you didn't know, Rancid's Tim and Matt are ex members of the infamous Operation Ivy. That's why I first got this album. While, I don't think Rancid is as good as Operation Ivy (Rancid's style is a lot different), this is a damn good record. It...
