iTunes Review
18 years after their formation, Let the Dominoes Fall shows that Rancid’s expertise at communicating desperation and redemption remains its most precious natural resource. Rooted in punk and ska foundations, Rancid goes fast and furious on the Brett Gurewitz-produced Dominoes (only three songs break the three-minute mark). There are classic Rancid touchstones: hooligan chants, skavoovie goodness, swirling pit agitators, and huge guitars and vocal interplay between Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen. “East Bay Night” is a love letter to their Albany/Berkeley, CA home. They add some classic R&B in the mix with an appearance by Booker T. on Hammond organ for the Memphis-to-Jamaica rave-up “Up to No Good.” They take a Pete Seeger-like turn on the acoustic salute to a homecoming soldier, “Civilian Ways.” Let the Dominoes Fall shows Rancid’s depth and ambition as they approach their third decade together.

"Let Down by the Dominoes
by fickjoesI've been a Rancid fan since their conception, out of the days of Operation Ivy. I've seen Rancid as far back as 1994. Love their music, philosophy on Punk Rock and life. They're a great group of guys and very humble individuals. With all that said, I can say I"m not a "hater" or a jaded old guy who is bitter about Rancid's sucess and popularity, always wished them the best. The long awaited "Let the Dominoes Fall" came and went for me. I tried relentlessly to let the album grow on me but with no avail. The album was greatly over produced courtesy of Skywalker Ranch Studio's, which took Rancid's rawness away. Much of the angst, raw guitar sounds, and Tim's signature rasp and lyrical power was lacking in thier recent debut. Along with the lack of raw power there was noticable lower levels on rythm guitars, watered down distrortion on the faster tracks, and Matt's signature bass sound seemed to have been turned down a notch. Possibly a result of the mastering or mixing of the abulm to play to a more commercial medium. The end result was a stale, monotone rendition of classic Rancid with thier key elements slightly diluted. The album leaves the listener waiting for a climax or resolution that never comes. The strongest tracks resembling a small amount of familiar blare, social significance, and emotion true to Rancid's style are; Disconected, Civilian Ways, Bravest Kids, Lulu, Liberty and Freedom, and Locomotive. The rest of the tracks I feel were hurried to make the cut and were mediocre at best. I do agree with the review about Matt's voice hindering some of the tracks on the album. L.A. river is almost unbearable with the "Boom chacalaca" mess that Freeman rants to fill a gap in the song where lyrics were not needed in my opinion. On "I Ain't Worried" all the lead vocals should have been left to Tim Armstrong who sounds more natural when performing a "rap" like flow or verse. Lars and Matt have great Punk Rock voices with no need to attempt a rap type flow. I love Lars's voice on tracks like Disconected or Roots and Radicals. Matt Freeman's voice is amazing on tracks like "Black Derby Jacket" from the self titled album in 2000, one of my alltime favorite Rancid songs. Tim's voice is ultumately what captivated me from their beginnings but on "Let the Dominoes Fall" the rasp and graininess from Indestructible and other albums is gone and replaced with a lazy sounding, monotone, muffled interpretation of his voice throuhgout the entire album. Tim's vocal variety and delivery is better portrayed on all the previous albums as well as the b sides. Truly a lyrical genius and poet such as Tim Armstrong should not be judged by "Let The Dominoes Fall" but all his previous works. As a true Rancid fan I bought this album and still support Rancid in their endevours, but "Let The Dominioes Fall" will not get much play on my ghetto box. It will go on the back burner in my mind to not tarnish my love for Rancid. To all new listeners, buy this album in support of this great band and to open the doors to the works of musical art that is ; Both self titled albums, Let's Go, Out Come the Wolves, Life Won't Wait, Indestructible and the B-sides. Of all I can't say what is my favorite. I love them all equally. See you in the pit!!
