I have a soft spot for Rancid, their punk based music is something I like very much, especially when it is almost holiday, and the weather is nice. The combination of the music, the sun, and the idea that there is some free time ahead does make life good. Their music is so addictive and it is impossible not to sing, dance, and shout along.

Troublemaker will sure spin a lot of rounds in my car stereo this holiday. The songs are catchy as hell, and the recognizable lazy singing style of Tim and the gang shouting sounds again very contagious. Fans of … and Out Come the Wolves and Indestructible will hear many tunes that made both those albums great. Like always, the songs are quite simple, and of course, there are some fine ska parts. The strongest songs are in my opinion ‘Ghost of a Change’, the punk rocker ‘An Intimate Close Up Of a Street Punk Trouble Maker’, the ska-pop song ‘Where I’m Going’ and the fast rocker ‘Buddy’. The only thing I have to carp about is that all these songs are on the first part of the record. The songs in the middle are just a little less exciting and less interesting. Fortunately, the last couple are again better, which prevents Troublemaker from fading out like a night candle.

With seventeen short songs on the regular album and two bonus tracks on the digital download, it is over before you know it. That is also the power of Rancid, short songs, easy to follow, and straight to the point!
