Title: Not bad
Review: 8.5 STARS OUT OF 10I'm a huge Rancid fan. As you can imagine, I was pretty excited about a second Lars album coming out. Lar's first album surprised me in how good it was, and I was expecting more of the same with Viking.When I first cracked it open, I didn't care for it. It seemed all over the place. The first and last few songs had a Rancid 2000 feel to it. Throw in a couple of covers, a ballad, a few mainstream punk sounding songs and you had Viking. It wound up in my CD case after about a week.A few months later, I decided to pop it back out, and I can say the album really grew on me. It's sometimes hard, sometimes soft, but always catchy. As usual, Tim Armstrong is all over the album with his lyrics and even a guest appearence.Much better then 99% of the junk out these days.
