Is thy song directed at those bands? I guess I never heard rancid as a band glorifying the working class or whatever.

Anyway, cool song nonetheless.

I'm confident you'll like it. Hopefully love it. It's not a dark album. Always makes me feel happy, enthusiastic when I hear it. And it just soundzzz really niiiice. Listen to the bass. Matt freeman is always all over the place on this album (and their others too). Let me know what you think.

When this came out, I must've listened to it a billion times. Easily one of my favorite albums at that time. I don't really find myself returning to it anymore, but it's certainly among the best pop punk records of that period.

😁

Obviously one of my favorite albums personally and definitely a great punk album. It's such a positive an generally upbeat album. And it sounds so good throughout. Some cheese thrown in for good measure (The War's End) which I love. But just track for track, just one of the best written punk albums I've ever heard.

I consider the first half of this album to be flawless, and the second half is very good too but is not nearly as impressive.

The bass line for "Journey To The End" really pumps me up every time and is one of
My favorites. Also the song itself as the lyrics are great, just a well written story of the band in a way and their relationship with the music they make and the lives they live.

Also, "Listed MIA", "Maxwell Murder" "Avenues and Alleyways" "Junky Man" "Olympia, WA" etc, are just perfect pop/ska/classic punk tracks.

The cover is a great homage to another all time great punk record....
