Let the Dominos Fall



The new RANCID cd comes out Tuesday (June 2nd) and I received an
advance copy. All I can say is WOW!!!!!! Great disk. I love it.
If you like Rancid (especially "...And Out Come the Wolves", which
is now 14 years old, but still holds up as well). Also, they give
you 19 tracks (20 on the Enhanced Box set along with an acoustic
disk & DVD))

Compared to even some of the really good disks that have come out
so far this year, this one will be at or near the top of the pile.

Track Listing:

1. East Bay Night - 9 of 10 / Great way to start an album!
2. This Place - 8 of 10 / Good, Solid Punk.
