Details: Product Description Rancid, one of rock's most influential indie bands of the '90s, finally makes its major-label debut with Indestructible, its first album in three years. At a juncture in music where every genre has been co-opted, cross-pollinated or over-produced, Indestructible welcomes back a band whose mix of punk and hardcore anthems, tinges of ska, and unforseen musical excursions can only be described as Rancid. Amazon.ca Where Rancid's eponymous 2000 album saw the band attempting to re-seize the moral high ground by aping the hardcore sound of the early 1980s, Indestructible is a return to the eclectic mix of their own breakthrough album And Out Come the Wolves. Thus "Red Hot Moon" and "Memphis" are melancholy, Clash-inspired grooves, "Arrested in Shanghai" and "Back Up Against the Wall" are melodic pop rock, while "Out of Control" and "Born Frustrated" are screaming punk assaults. Their politics, naturally, remain sound, as evicted by "Ivory Coast" and the anti-violence anthem "Spirit of '87". --Dominic Wills
