or so says the management at epitaph, rancids record label. i rather think that this album, while it does have its moments, avenues and allyways, anyone, takes a back seat to the sex pistols, the clash, and even the work of another east bay band, operation ivy, sho at least addressed the issues that are plagueing modern america. in any case, you have to respect them for being one of the only bands still wearing mohawks.
