Let's Go (Picture Disc)

VINYL FORMAT. PICTURE DISC! Whatever Rancid lacks in innovation, it makes up with sheer energy. The group rushes through Let's Go with an invigorating wrecklessness, sounding like a less-serious, party-ready version of the Clash. It's almost impossible to understand what vocalist Tim Armstrong sings at any given moment, yet there is no great meaning in what Rancid says -- the message is in the buzzing guitars and speeding rhythms. It doesn't hurt that the band can throw out the occasional memorable hook or melody, like the single "Salvation," as well. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
