Never Fail Yet, are dissapointed with the reggae aspect of their music. Many people claim to be such huge Rancid fans. How can they be such true fans as they would lead you to believe with out admiring the roots of the music they embrace. Rancid is one of the few groups today that have such a diverse sound and influence. Just listen to the music and enjoy.

I mean how could Tim top anything after Op Ivy? But after listenting to it a couple of times, it grew on me and it shows how much more diverse Rancid's sound is and that they aren't afraid of something new. When I first heard this album, I was kind of dissapointed with the reggae, and the poppiness of the whole thing. I cannot wait until their next album, to check out how their new sound has developed!.
A fun CD to listen to after you program the reggae out.
But after listening to it for a while, I really began to like it. As a big Rancid fan, I found this CD very disappointing at first, especially since I'm not a big reggae fan. Besides the reggae songs, "Life Won't Wait" I dislike in particular, there are some really great songs on this CD ("Backslide", "Leicester Square", "Who Would've Thought"). It's not as hard and as pure punk as their previous CDs, it has a poppier sound to it. But there's still those Rancid elements to it, most notably Lars Fredericksen's strong voice and Matt Freeman's bass playing, that make this Rancid CD worth buying. It would be extremely difficult to top ". . . And Out Come the Wolves" anyway.
