Review title: No Cred
Product review: A serious departure for punk-pop pioneers Rancid, this newest release marks a definate move towards the pop side of that combo. Full of catchy hooks and shout-along chouruses, this one is bound to sell well, but Rancid's "punk cred" is history. A few of these songs, such as the title track "Indestructible" and "Out of Control" still evoke the furious energy of Rancid's first two releases, but most of the album goes for a Clash-meets-Reel Big Fish sort of groove. Lot's of radio air-time, but long time fans will be sorely disapointed. Where "Out Come the Wolves" felt like a natural maturing of style on the part of Rancid, "Indestructible" simply feels forced. If you enjoyed "Let's Go", or anything from this outfit's original incarnation, Op Ivy, you'd do well to steer clear of this one. In the meantime, some newer arrivals to the scene, such as Anti-Flag, look like a much better place to spend your music dollar. Rancid has finaly gone sour.
