Title: A Terrible Retreat
Product review: Life Won't Wait by Rancid approached in musical terms what the Clash did on Sandanista! That album was ripped by the punker-than-thou crowd as being "soft" or a "sell-out". It was, in truth neither. After making svereal brilliant albums Ranid listened to their critics rather than their fans and regressed musically on the self-titled album. the album is a mind-numblingly dull set of 1:30-2:00 songs played in their best Ramones on crack style. The guitars are fast, the vocals loud, the message non-existant and it seems like the calls for social change so evident on their other albums is gone in favor of pointless anger. The only redemption for this album is the song Let Me Go which lives up to what Rancid has done before. Skip this alumb and buy Life Won't Wait, Let's Go or ..out come the Wolves to hears their band at their best.
