Oi !
Buy/ steal this cd!

Here's how I rank the songs:

1. Like 2 new Rancid cd's for the price of 1!!! It has a bunch of gems on it, some only released on compilations or as "b" sides, some never released in the USA before. Ben Zanotto (3. 5 stars) Very Standard Rancid tune, circa "Rancid 2000".
2. Stop (3. 5 stars) Ska tune w/ horns circa "Out Come the Wolves". Vocals are distorted which may annoy.
3. Devil's Dance (2. 5 stars) A punkabilly cut, not my cup o' tea.
4. Dead and Gone (3. 5 stars) 2 minute punk tune, circa "Rancid 2000". Matt sings!
5. Stranded (4 stars) A 2 minute scorcher! Cross b/t "Rancid 2000" and "Indestructible"
6. Killing Zone (4 stars) Lars song catchy tune w/ great chorus. Circa "Life wont wait"
7. 100 Years (3. 5 stars) 2 minute scorcher w/ no vocals. Bass solo. Very different tune for them.
8. Things to Come (4. 5 stars) Slow ska influenced track. Sounds like a lost track off Tims solo ska album. Horns featured.
9. Blast 'Em (3. 5 stars) Slower solid punk track that reminds me of their early work.
10. Endrina (3 stars) 1 minute Lars sung track, circa "Rancid 2000"
11. White Knuckle Ride (5 stars) 1:25 of some of the best Bass Matt has ever played.
12. Sick Sick World (3. 5 stars) 1:17 scorcher. Circa "Rancid 2000". Great bass again.
13. "Tattoo" (4 stars) 2 minute fast Lars sung track. Great bass line. Good chorus.
14. "That's Entertainment" (3. 5 stars) 1:30 Lars sung track. Very "Wolves" "Life" sounding.
15. "Clockwork Orange" (4 stars). Probably the most unusual Rancid song i've ever heard! Great bass line.
16. "Brothels" (4 stars) Slower punk track w/ good guitar hook. Catchy song! Circa "Life"
17. "Just a Feeling" (3. 54 stars) 2 minute sing-along circa the first 2 albums, great bass!
18. "Brixton" (5 stars) One of my fav Rancid songs ever. Op Ivy sounding ska track. Great Oi-like sing along tune. The best find on the album!
19. "Empros Lap Dog" (3 stars) 2 minute guitar driven track. Circa "Life"
20. "I Wanna Riot" (4. 5 stars) 3 minute paired down version of the song from the "Beavis and Butthead" soundtrack. I loved the old version and this new one too. Another great find! Ska classic.
21. "Kill the Lights" (4. 5) Bass driven 1:20 fast punk track Classic Rancid circa "Rancid 2000".
(the following tracks are only on the Japanese version of this cd, get it!!!!)
22. "I'm not the only one" (3. 5 stars). Good guitar riff. Catchy chorus, circa first 2 albums.
23. "Battering Ram" (3. 5 stars) another very distinct track. Matt and Tim sing. Great chorus!
24. "The Sentence" (3 stars) 3 minute standard Rancid track. Circa first 2 albums.
25 "Media Controller" (4. 5 stars) Matt Freeman Oi song w/ great chorus.
26. "Idle Hands" (3. 5 stars) 2 minute, Matt sings chorus. Circa "Rancid 2000".
Hope that helps. If you like anything Rancid has done on their last 4 albums you will not be disappointed with this one! Despite how I rate the individual songs, the cd is def 5 stars! Oi!.
