RANCID Let The Dominoes Fall (2009 UK 19-track 2-LP vinyl set - 'Let The Dominoes Fall' is essential Rancid: a readymade punk classic that will take its place beside 'And Out Come The Wolves' as a touchstone of the genre, filled with two-minute gems that every kid will be singing along with this summer. Lead by first single 'Last One To Die' - a defiant anthem to brotherhood and commitment already tearing it up at modern rock radio - 'Let The Dominoes Fall' both continues and expandson Rancid's legacy, as the new songs show a lyrical depth perhaps best shown in two songs that centre the album, 'Civilian Ways' and 'The Bravest Kids'. Punk has often seen the world as 'us vs them', but with these two songs - a sensitive portrait of a returning serviceman and a loving tribute to those that serve - Rancid show empathy for working men and women that recalls the songs of Springsteen or Petty. Rancid have set their sights on greater things, aimed, and hit the bullseye)
