Round 1 - NOFX
I have to give the edge to NOFX though. I am a huge fan of both of these bands and I love this idea of splitting the songs up, I wish they would do more of these types of albums. I'm not sure if they had better song selection or just came out sounding better, but both bands overall did a great job and it was worth the money for me. .


Just buy for Rancid
Much better, and this album even proves it. NOFX is an allright punk band, but in my opinion Rancid is a hell of alot better. Every song that Rancid covered rawked and every NOFX cover of Rancid sounded pathetic, almost like a mockery it was so so bad. Here's the fact, compared to Rancid, NOFX tremendously sucks donkey dong.


Only buy this if you like both bands
The original versions of the songs are better, but these covers are good and really interesting. I love Rancid and like NOFX, and when I bought this album I loved NOFX and liked Rancid. Don't Call Me White is better than the original, Rancid does it good and I don't like that song when its by NOFX. I I'm the One is probably the best song by NOFX compared to the original Rancid song. GET THIS ALBUM!.


Good album for big fans of both bands.
The bands weren't trying to out-do each other or anything. Some of the people reviewing this are being kind of stupid and looking at it wrong. It was all just for fun. Some guy said NOFX ruined the Rancid songs by changing the style too much. THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT! Of course it's not going to sound like it's "supposed to!" They wanted to do the other's song in their own style. What would be the fun in trying to make it sound the same as the original version? I think they both did a great job.

Personally I liked NOFX's stuff better just because I'm a bigger fan of them. I'm a huge Rancid fan, too, but the vocals on "Don't Call Me White" and "Moron Bros. " were kind of annoying. I guess just because Tim and Matt's vocal style doesn't really match up well with Fat Mike's, so it sounds really weird. As for NOFX, I liked all the songs. "Tenderloin" kind of bugged me because at first I didn't even recognize it until he started singing the chorus, but it was an okay cover. "Antennas" was awesome, and so was "Corozon De Oro. " Their version of "Radio" was hilarious. I've talked to Rancid fans that hated that, but it's pretty obvious that it's a joke, especially if they saw them play it live at Warped Tour in 2002. They brought out a few rastafarians to play keyboard for it. It was great.

Best tracks are NOFX - "Olympia, WA" and Rancid - "Stickin In My Eye" or "The Brews," I can't decide.

Overall it's a cool buy, but before getting this I'd probably suggest owning most, if not all, of the NOFX and Rancid albums so you recognize the songs. It'll be cooler that way. .


I love Rancid, but...
their covers of antenas and olympia werent too bad, but rancids are way better. Rancid is my favorite band, but nofx ruined their songs. Rancid however did a much better job of covering nofx's songs. Nofx changed the style way too much, it didnt seem right.
