Many fans feared that after sampling the solo life with the likes of Transplants and Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards that the members of Rancid would never regroup for Indestructible, their sixth studio outing. After getting over the initial shock of the "sell-out" connection with WEA, most fans will be glad they did. Where the band's eponymously titled 2000 album saw them attempting to recapture the moral high ground by aping the straight-ahead hardcore sound of the early 1980s, Indestructible is a return to the eclectic mix of their own breakthrough album And Out Come the Wolves. Thus "Red Hot Moon" and "Memphis" are melancholy, Clash-marked ragga-grooves, "Arrested in Shanghai" and "Back Up Against the Wall" are melodic pop-rock, while "Out of Control" and "Born Frustrated" are screaming punk assaults. Their politics, naturally, remain sound, as evinced by "Ivory Coast" and the anti-violence anthem "Spirit of 87". If there's one surprise, it's that Tim Armstrong so dominates proceedings. Then again, having been recently rocked by the death of his hero Joe Strummer, then split from his wife halfway through the writing/recording process (the break-up is covered in "Tropical London"), it's certain he had plenty of subject material. --Dominic Wills
