I GOT to track five before I found a something I liked: Start Now, appropriately.
Hopefully this was the start of the good stuff, after all those sk8r punk riffs that are starting to sound clichd.
Rancid are known for lyrics laced with political commitment, but it's hard to hear them for all the swearing. One track sounds like something from South Park but sang by Ali G (where is that accent from? Or should that be where is it going? At times it is also American, French, and possibly Jamaican).
It makes for painful listening, which is a shame because there are good tracks in here somewhere, such as the slower Arrested In Shanghai, Memphis, and all of the last four.
