RancidAnd out Come the Wolves

Reckless street punk one minute, sly pop-craft the next, then a sudden swerve into skanking ska. 'Ruby Soho' is effortless pop-punk, gone before its chorus loosens its grip. 'Time Bomb' is their definitive ska-punk strut, all upstrokes and Tim Armstrong's slurred snarl. 'Maxwell Murder' detonates around Matt Freeman's mind-bending bass solo, a blur of fingers you have to hear twice to believe. Partly cut at Electric Lady, it crackles with restless energy end to end. One of the great punk records of the '90s. Press play and start moving.
