To steal a phrase from NPR, "It'd be considered an abomination, if the original warranted that kind of respect."

What I like about it is that it shows how well composed Rancid songs really are. What I don't like about it is that it sounds like Jack Johnson and Taylor Swift.

Since Vampire Weekend did the Rancid cover, is this the new indie cliche'?

I was being sarcastic with the "yes"--considering this song isn't verse/chorus/verse. But really. I mean how even with Tim's talk-sing, behind it there is a real nice song.

This was one of the worst Rancid songs of all time. It's like covering "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" and not doing it to be funny.

I also like that song. "Fall back down" not "pretty fly" right?

"Fall Back Down," yeah. I think covering Red Hot Moon would be as bad as pretty fly.

I hated it when I first heard it. I started to get it after about two months with the album.

I like nearly everything on Indestructible. Shamefully underrated album, in my opinion.

Report

mikexdude (July 20, 2010)

Granted I heard Indestructable when I was in middle school, I still like a lot of the songs. Definitely underrated.

lookingforcorpses (July 21, 2010)

Woah, you're way younger than I thought. I still don't understand how people on here say it's, "underrated." When it came out, everyone loved it, they got very little shit from "the punx." I still find I'm in the minority when I say I think it's pretty bad.

I blame Rancid (2000). Definitely an awesome way to follow up to such an experimental album, but it brought them right back to square one.

rancid 2000 is an amazing record. recently revisited it for the first time pretty much since it came out. it's so fucking good.

lookingforcorpses (July 21, 2010)

I think it was a shitty cop out to follow up an amazing, experimental record. They had 1 record with minor radio hit, then album with a couple of radio hits, then they "went for it" with this larger than life record, which went over a lot of people's heads. There's always been rumors that between LWW and 2000 they did another record, and scrapped it entirely, then went "back to their roots," in a real blatant attempt to get their "punk fans," back.

This was awful. While I don't think doing it acoustically is a horrible idea, this version indeed was just that.
