RANCID - Let's Go! (used CD copy) (1994) Released by Epitaph Records in a standard jewel case w/black tray. (1st US Pressing)
In the band's studio album discography, this is Number 2. While it initially had modest success, the massive breakthrough of bands like Green Day and The Offspring later that year helped push Let's Go! to Gold status, making it a cornerstone of 90's Punk music.
Let's Go! is a landmark of the 90's Punk explosion, capturing RANCID just as they were evolving from a local East Bay curiosity into a global phenomenon. It is a high-octane, 23-track onslaught that serves as the perfect bridge between their raw debut and the Ska-infused masterpiece ...And Out Come The Wolves.
This was the first RANCID album to feature Lars Frederiksen, whose gritty vocals and dual-guitar interplay with Tim Armstrong defined the band's signature "Street Punk" sound.
Originally intended to be a double album, it was condensed into a single disc of short, punchy tracks that rarely exceed two minutes.
Despite the speed, the record is packed with incredibly catchy choruses and the virtuosic, walking basslines of Matt Freeman.
