Finally back Rancid and they do it in great style. And 'in fact released "Honor Is All We Know", the band's eighth album Berkeley successor of "Let The Dominoes Fall". Five years of silence are many, although we can not speak of absolute silence as the various components have been busy with their respective projects and considered the big operation of discography in 7 "that many times I tried.
Digressions aside "Honor Is All We Know" comes as a compact disk and straightforward, just the opposite of the previous "Let The Dominoes Fall" perhaps a little too broad in part because of the large number of songs.
The beginning of the album is mouth-watering: Back Where I Belong seems a kind of redemption by Tim Armstrong who wants to tell the world that his way is precisely the way, Raise Your Fist reminds me very closely Cock Sparrer not only from a musical point of view, but also from a lot of opera "riot" (as well as the subsequent a Power Inside and in the Streets), while Collision Course is a veritable ode to punk-rock and music in general. The album flows away like a dream through pieces ska, I think of Evil's My Friend and Everybody's Sufferin ', as pieces pulled Already Dead (very Social Distortion-style) and the closing Grave Digger and Pezzoni in 4/4 simple simple, but at the same time highly effective, as Face Up and Diabolical.
I would make a special mention for the title track Honor Is All We Know, a song that I think is the best philosophy Rancid. Tim, Matt and Lars sing a verse by one, but the chorus is unanimous: "the honor is all we have," and this is shown in the middle of the disk. Listening to him day after day, we feel a passion and an attitude that over the years have made the Rancid what they are today.
Musically maybe it will not be "Let's Go" or "Rancid 2000" definitely will not have the same success as "... .And Out Comes The Wolves" but "Honor Is All We Know" demonstrates once again that the Rancid, after 20 years and passes of activity, they still have a lot to say.
