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 their upcoming album which is supposed to be released in 2012.

The album received mostly positive reviews, though it failed to meet the success of Rancid's three previous albums. Rick Anderson of Allmusic noted "After several fine, if rather derivative, albums of ska-inflected punk rock, and after years of being criticized for relying unduly on gestures lifted from the Clash, Rancid has come roaring out with the harshest and most consistent album of their career. It wouldn't be entirely accurate to say that they've left their influences behind; rather, they've integrated them more completely and created a sound that is completely satisfying without having to prove anything about its own originality. That sound ends up being something like a cross between the Clash circa 1978 and the hardcore punk of the early-'80s Los Angeles scene. "Rwanda" is a stutter-step anthem of sympathy for a devastated country; "Corruption" has an atonal power-chord progression and headlong tempo that Minor Threat would have killed for; and "Blackhawk Down" is built on a ridiculously catchy descending bassline and a distinctly Oi!-flavored singalong chorus. No ska, no reggae, no dub, just 22 tracks in 38 minutes with barely a pause between songs and high tempos all the way. If you're looking for artistic subtlety, go back to the catalog; if all you need is a half-hour of undiluted adrenaline, you've come to the right place."[4]

  • 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.

    Let Go

    by: Ingrid Michaelson

    Hey, I'll move out of the way for you
    Hey, I'll move out of the way for her too
    I never thought we'd end up here in separate cages
    It doesn't go like this, you've left out some pages
    Hey, when was the last time you laughed
    And did you mean it when you did?
    I'm just wondering, the sound in your voice it's abounding
    It's astounding how you live so close to your cure
    I never know what to do with my love
    I never know what to do with my hands
    So I'll put them behind my back
    I'll put them behind my back
    Behind my back
    Hey, don't you know what I mean when I say
    Hey, see it in my face, I'm breaking
    I've waited for so long just to know
    That you'd wrap yourself around me if you couldn't let go
    I never know what to do with my love
    I never know what to do with my hands
    So I'll put them behind my back
    (Put them behind my back)
    I'll put them behind my back
    (Behind my back)
    Behind my back
    (Put them behind my back)
    Can I move out of the way tomorrow?
