Indestructable is untouchable!
This is how each track makes Indestructable an untouchable album. It doesnt matter if u like rancid or not, if u like punk or not, you deserve the chance to rock out to one of best albums ever! Every track on Indestructable has its place, and the CD wouldnt be as great if one song was missing.
Track 1- Indestructable- The perfect song to start off the album, not too long not too short, it gets to the point.
rack 2- Fall Back down- Perfect song. Its in the perfect place, right after the first (intro-like) song, but not too late into the CD. Right after ths song youll be thinking "its good so far". But this is just the beginning.
Track 3- Red Hot Moon- This song is one of my favorites on the album. It has a feel to it that makes it sound kind of weird, in a punk rock way. Most people hate Rob Aston, but he plays a big role in this song. His part gives htis song a good ending leaving you wanting more.
Track 4- David Courtney- In this part of the album, everything gets going more harder, thanks to this song. At first you will probably think its the stupidest song ever, but it kinda has a story to it. And before you know it, youll be catching yourself singing "Well, all you mother f***ers. . . . "
Track 5- Start now- Another one of my favorite songs on the album. One of the more cathier songs on here. You really start getting into the CD right about here.
Track 6- Out of control- Again, one of the harder songs on the album. It gets you ready to rock out like youve never rocked out before.
Track 7- Djanjo- Not a song youll remember throughout the CD on youre first listen. But the second time you listen to this song, youll love it, trust me.
Track 8- Arrested in Shanghai- A cool song thats fun to listen to. Will probably be one of the songs you remember.
Track 9- Travis Bickle- For some reason this song is one of my favorites too. You can tell Rancid put a lot of work into this one song. Once you really listen to it, youll see how great it is.
Track 10- Memphis- I laugh whenever I listen to this song. Its a cool song dont get me wrong but, I just find it funny. A catchy song that is right where it needs to be.
Track 11- Spirit of 87- I love this song. You will probably love it too. Its cool to just listen to what their saying.
Track 12- Ghost band- This is that one song that you think is really boring and is probably the worst song on the CD. But its a really punk rock song and kinda leads you into the next track.
Which is good.
Track 13- Tropical London- Most people hate this song because they think Tim is complaining about everything. Well, this is that kinda love song that all CDs have. And is very catchy, in the chorus and versus.
Track 14- Roadblock- A very punk rock song. About being on the road. Kinda leads you into the next track. Which is also very good.
Track 15- Born Frustrated- Another very punk rock song. Will remind you of oldschool Rancid.
Track 16- Back up against the wall- Right about here is where most people stop listening. But this song is awesome. You be singing this one for years to come.
Track 17- Ivory coast- Reminds me of another song I cant remember the name of. This song leads you into the next track. Which believe me, is never a bad thing.
Track 18- Stand your Ground- My favorite song on the Album. And to think a lot of people who own this CD never really listen to this song. Its about being homeless and everything. Very catchy and youll probably want to hear it 2 times.
Track 19- Otherside- The last track ont he album. Just like the first track, its not too long and not too short. Its a good ending song.
So when you buy this CD, listen to it in one sitting, from start to finish. Believe me youll like it whole lot more. And for those people who are wondering why i said "Indestructable is Untouchable!" Its because if you listen to LFATB' Viking. On "switchblade" youll hear Lars mention being "untouchable". Just like Indestructable.

alright...
they are still my fave band though i prefer earlier stuff. this was my least fave of all rancid albums, but it wasn't bad at all. there are some awesome songs on this album. but dont go saying they're not 'punk' or they're more 'punk' and dont go saying that all the bands like good charlotte and wahtever are all disgusting people. i personally dont like htem but i cant say they are terrible because they are decent musicians, and i dont know them as people, and neitehr does anyone else i bet. punk has become so snobby and elite. who cares if an albums 'punk' or anything else, just listen to it. the classifications really dont matter as long as you enjoy the music.

absoulutely amazing
this is a wonderful cd and it even comes with a RANCID patch and t-shirt. 10 yrs and they still havent changed much. it has the dude from the transplants and it has out of control thats from need for speed underground. constant hardcore. wonderful. not as good as and out come the wolves though.

Indestructable is a really good punk rock album.
No, I didn't buy it because of the singles. This was the first Rancid cd that I have bought. I have heard of Rancid before this album. I just never bought any of their albums for some reason. Anyway, I will buy more of their albums after hearing something real good like this. This is a great punk rock album with nineteen songs of pure punk. Not every song is fast and some of the lyrics have meaning to them. Buy this instead of that fake pop punk garbage like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte. Those bands disgusts me. I bought the limited edition version of Indestructable. The cd is the same as the non limited edition but it comes with a cool Rancid T Shirt and Rancid patch. Go check out this cd. Its a very great punk album.

Fantastic Album, but that depends.
That being they can hit you with hardcore thrashing sound with in your face vocals or completely take a 180 with a more melodic pop quality of sound. It seems that fans are really torn between two worlds that Rancid brings to the table on some of their records, and on some of their OTHER records. So based on that, it really depends what you are looking for in a Rancid record. This record is the later as it follows in the footsteps of . . . And Out Come to the Wolves, and Let's Go. These pioneers of punk really show through this release that they can compete with any act you see on MTV today, which is no wonder why lately this record is getting so much airplay. Not only are most of the songs very catchy (and uncommonly longer), but they fuse fairly good guitar work with vocals that show more emotion then screaming. Yes. Rancid does remain to have a soft side, and if you enjoyed that, you'll most likely love this album. If you're more into the hardcore side of Rancid, you may want to opt for earlier releases along with their previous self-titled release.
