Rancid (2000 album)

Rancid (also known as Rancid 5 or Rancid 2000) is the eponymously titled fifth studio album by the American punk rock band Rancid. It is the second eponymous album and was released on August 1, 2000, through frontman Tim Armstrong's label, Hellcat Records. It was the band's first album released through Hellcat. It is Rancid's most hardcore offering to date, which was released as a follow-up to the more ska and reggae oriented Life Won't Wait. It spans 22 tracks in under 40 minutes, resulting in over 3/4 of the songs clocking at under 2 minutes. The Japanese version includes one bonus track, "Sick Sick World". Songs on the album make reference to famous gangster Al Capone, as well as Norse God Loki, John Brown, Ulysses S. Grant, Nelson Mandela, Charles Van Doren, Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Don Giovanni. Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion) reunited with Rancid and became their producer for this album. It was 6 years since he co-produced the band's second album Let's Go (1994), although he engineered the band's third album, ...And Out Come the Wolves (1995). Rancid and Gurewitz would continue their collaboration for their next three albums, Indestructible, Let the Dominoes Fall and Honor Is All We Know.

Let Me Go (Avril Lavigne song)

"Let Me Go" is a song by Avril Lavigne, released as the third single from her self-titled fifth studio album (2013) on 15 October 2013. It features vocals from Lavigne's husband, Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and was written by Lavigne and Kroeger along with David Hodges, with Kroeger and Hodges also producing it. It is her first single to feature a guest performer. "Let Me Go" is a piano-driven power ballad, which features Lavigne painfully reminiscing over a failed love.

Initially, "Let Me Go" was about letting go of someone and having them let go of you. However, "Let Me Go"'s lyrics were changed by Lavigne and Kroeger to reflect their own relationship after it started growing. Critics gave the song mixed reviews, with some calling it "a monster duet", and others criticizing Kroeger's vocals and his involvement in the track.

A music video was released on 15 October 2013, and it shows Lavigne roaming the halls of an abandoned mansion, with Kroeger's appearance being channeled through an elderly yardman, only to be seen as his true self through mirrored and tablet-assisted images. The song debuted at number 37 on the US Billboard Adult Pop Songs chart and at number 78 on Billboard Hot 100. It has also debuted and peaked at number 12 on the Canadian Hot 100, after charting in three airplay formats and debuting at number 7 on the Canadian Digital Songs chart. The music video has reached over 100 million views on Vevo in January, 2016.
