Rancid

Rancid’s Let The Dominoes Fall is essential Rancid: a readymade punk classic that will take its place beside And Out Come the Wolves as a touchstone of the genre, filled with two-minute gems that every kid in America will be singing along with this summer. Lead by first single “Last One To Die” – a defiant anthem to brotherhood and commitment already tearing it up at modern rock radio – Let the Dominoes Fall both continues and expands on Rancid’s legacy, as the new songs show a lyrical depth perhaps best shown in two songs that center the album, “Civilian Ways” and “The Bravest Kids.” Punk has often seen the world as “us vs. them,” but with these two songs – a sensitive portrait of a returning serviceman and a loving tribute to those that serve –Rancid show empathy for working Americans that recalls the songs of Springsteen or Petty. Rancid have set their sights on greater things, aimed, and hit the bullseye.

Rancid are once again produced by Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion, Pennywise, NOFX) who helmed their classic 90’s albums.
