Title: politics
Product review: Look, I love rancid's previous cds. In my mind, they're right up there with nofx, tilt, nufan, the vandals, and lots of others. And I don't think they sold out by going on mtv or the radio. But it seems to me that when they were criticized by 'hardcore' punk rockers about LWW being to ska-esque, they respond by trying to pacify those critics by giving them a 'hardcore' cd. I don't get it. Now it seems that if enough people told them they should really make a country cd, that's what you'd see next. In essence, it appears as if Rancid is now trying to look like they're hardcore just to sell cds. Once a band starts following the wind of popular public opinion, they've gone the way of politics, and the artificial life we know so well.
