Rancid has always been one of the biggest band sin punk for me and my friends. After I bought Indestructible in 2003 I wanted to see what they would do next. Their next full length album, Let the Dominoes Fall showed just what they had in store.

Of course, when I found it in the store I had two options, the album, or the Deluxe Album with collectors edition guitar picks, posters, and the acoustic version of Let the Dominoes Fall. Obviously I got this one.

Rancid wanted to show their fans what it’s like when their first making their songs on acoustic guitars, before transferring them to the raw, album version. This album has acoustic versions of eleven songs from the finished album, as well as one b-side song, Outgunned, which I wish had made the final cut for the album.

It’s fun to listen to this album because the different sound almost makes it a new song. One line sung in a punk song can mean something completely different if it’s sung in a folk style song. I’m really glad the boys from Rancid decided to do this, it shows that they’re not afraid to do anything with their music. Rancid was good, but they can only get better from here.

Later.
