Rancid's first record ever from 1992.
Like their first full length, one of the most noticeable things about this album is that there's no second guitar/vocalist (aka Lars, who didn't join the band til mid '93).
Five songs.
Eleven minutes.
Holds up better than their last two albums combined.
Rancid's first recording as a four piece with Lars.
Interesting Trivia:
Before Lars became an official member, Rancid tried out several other people for the position of second guitar/vocalist.
One of these people was Billie Joe Armstrong, who decided to stick with Green Day rather than join Rancid full time.
While part of Rancid, he helped write Radio, and receives a credit for it in the album's liner notes.
The Hooligans EP. Aside from "Hooligans," the album has an alternate version of "Cash, Culture, and Violence" and a song called "Things To Come." Much like Life Won't Wait, this album is very heavily ska influenced, and fairly traditional ska at that, so expect horn sections and upstrokes aplenty.
