infected goes hard live

Album Rating: 3.0

see sab we have the same rating for this lol



when i say this is one of their bottom 5 albums i say that as a raging br fanboi

Album Rating: 4.0

I will say that Marked is probably my least favorite BR song for some reason I can't pinpoint.

Album Rating: 3.5

@Satellite: haha yeah. I was defensive about this one because I'm strick with my ratings, I have most BR albums at 3.5 (even ones like Generator and Against the Grain), so it may be difficult to deduct my favorites at first glance. For istance, I love most stuff in this one but I don't feel like giving it an 'excellent' rating as a whole. 3.5 is kind of a high rating in my books, it means that something is damn great.



@Watch: That's honestly one of my favorites and I'm pretty attached to it because of the lyrics.



My favorites here are: t/t, Tiny Voices, The Handshake, Better Off Dead (incredible song tbh), Infected, Slumber, Marked

Album Rating: 5.0

Jay's bass work is audible and does he kill on this album, exhibit : Better Off Dead, he doesn't only follow the rhythm guitar, I always enjoyed how it was produced. I was a bit unhappy with the sterile, surgical feeling The Gray Race (which is amazing, the only album without Brett that's worth listening to in its entirety.



The Japanese version with 17 tracks has one of my favourite song most people never even heard, Markovian Process, being a Milo kind of punk, it was the first BR song I learned to play on guitar. The only horrible song here is Television, which apparently, BR did not write themselves, and Timmy Yuuhhhhh Armstrong is like nails on a chalkboard to my ears, I can't listen to hardcore punk where the singer isn't great like Greg or 90's Jim from Pennywise, Armstrong wants to sound so drunk when he sings when he's a 100% sober..anyway enough of my hatred of Rancid.



This album (and the next) and the previous catalogue would be the only BR I would listen to until The Process of Belief and the return of Mr Brett writing half the songs like usual, Greg pulled it on The Gray Race, with Baker (not a slouch) writing 2 songs, one that fuckin kicks ass too (Nobody Listens).



Incomplete, STF, The Handshake (I fucking love the guitar in this song), and the faster ending with the harmony in the back going "Now I believe in Unity..." is genius, Infected is a song that does this perfectly too, but too many people played Guitar Hero 1 and suddenly it's their best song ever, I don't agree with that.



Other honourable mentions : Individual, What It Is, Inner Logic, News From The Front

Album Rating: 5.0

*I CAN* and DO listen to hardcore punk where the singers aren't like those previously mentioned, wanted to correct that typo.

Album Rating: 3.0

television is probably the worst non-into the unknown bad religion song



and i say that as someone who sort of likes tim/rancid

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah Television is easily my worst song here, it kinda blows

Album Rating: 3.0

if the b-side "leaders and followers" would've replaced that song this would easily be a 4 for me.

Album Rating: 3.5

Incomplete is another track I'm not super into

Album Rating: 5.0

I got the euro version, it lacks Leaders & Followers, but at least it has those songs I mentioned after the unnecessary re-recording of digital boy.

Album Rating: 5.0

Vilified...you wrote this review in 2009?



Brett has been writing half the songs again since The Process of Belief and him rejoining and a very competent drummer (Brooks Wackerman) replacing Bobby who's playing was really awful on The New America, like most of the album revitalized the band, although Believe It is a nice song, must be cos it's a Graffin/Gurewitz collaboration. The only rhinf is I wish all the great stuff he's written since 2002, he would be there live, but he is there only about 10% of the time, he's producing albums all year long and his heroin addiction is done with, I'm sure you can even get sick of all the heroin the money from Offspring's Smash and later selling of Ignition brought him in money. Sick as in, I got a big house, I'm alone, I shoot up all day...it's getting boring, for the latter half of the 90's heh.
