…And Out Come The Wolves by Rancid: Punk/Ska. By this time Rancid had come in to their own. This was the album that made the biggest impact. The songs are fast paced and tick all the boxes that are required for a good album. Tim Armstrong’s singing still sounds like the drunken ghost of Joe Strummer issuing forth and Matt Freeman’s bass playing is insanely good. TWH: Maxwell Murder; Time Bomb; As Wicked

Grade: A
