Description
Life Won't Wait is Rancid's follow-up to their acclaimed 1995 album, And Out Come the Wolves. Heavy with Jamaican sounds, reminicent of classic ska and reggae of the Skatalites and Bob Marley, it holds firmly to the roots of classic punk. A must have. Track list inlcudes: "Blood Clot," "Hooligans," "Cocktails," "Who Would've Thought," "Wrongful Suspician," "Coppers," "Turntable," "Backslide" and more!
Description
Originally released in 1998, repressed for 2025.
A year long project that took the band from San Francisco to Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans and Jamaica, Life Won't Wait has highlights that are as varied as they are rewarding. "Bloodclot" is a punk anthem as brawny as any ever recorded, replete with Lars' lyrical nods to Lee "Scratch" Perry and the Ramones. "Warsaw" and "New Dress" explore world-scale class struggle and out-and-out warfare. Of the two songs actually recorded in Jamaica, "Hoover Street" is a poignant addict's lament with sweet soulful vocal assists from Hepcat, while the title track features Tim and Lars sparring with dancehall kingpin Buju Banton against a canvas of urgent old school ska.
Self-produced, culled from life experience, and played live in large measure, Life Won't Wait is as ambitious and independent as it gets.
