"I'm sick of all you people whining saying it's too fast or not like "Life Won't Wait" or not as catchy as "And Out Come the Wolves." Rancid is Rancid. A sign of a good band is when each album is an evolution of the past. When every album is diffrent that shows the open mind of the band. Rancid makes the best music out there period. It's all good whether it be ska, reggae, punk, or the "...bullet to the head.."[Johnny 2bags] style punk thats fast and doesn't "...give you time to breath..." Bottom line, Rancid is the best band ever, since day one. If your a real "fan" you'll love and cherish any album that comes out by your favorite band. If Rancid put out a totall hick, country album I would listen to it just like any other Rancid album...with love. The "Rancid 2000" album rules. Go buy it. 5 stars, 4 thumbs up, refreshing, new, hardline punk rock. P.S. Rancid will kill you!"
Rancid Crank Out Another Classic...

"Rancid's new CD is nothing like Life Won't, but that whole ska thing was getting old anyway. This album on the other hand is dripping with mad punk rock aggression that doesn't even give the listener a chance to breath inbetweeen songs. Almost every track on here is good, but gritty songs like "Poison" and "Its Quite Alright" stand out the most. Rancid 2000 is a true punk rock classic."
Rancid strikes back

"This is Rancid's heaviest, fastest, and angriest release. Consequently its their best, but my opinion is biased since I like this type of sound better than their more down-to-earth punk stuff like Out Come the Wolves (though that is the best album of its genre).
As the other guy says, it's "new old school," drawing more from Bad Brains and Minor Threat in style than to the the 90's Gilman sound. Consequently its less melodic, what it sacrifices for anger is the fun and swagger of its earlier stuff (which they eventually bring back). For me, its a good trade off on this album."
