Before the mohawks became icons, there was the debut. Recorded in a blur of amphetamine fury after the implosion of Operation Ivy, Rancid (1992) sounds like a basement on fire. At 320 kbps, you hear the string buzz. You hear Tim Armstrong’s lisp cutting through the mud. Tracks like "Another Night" and "Caught in a Void" aren't polished; they are documentation.
