Top 50 Records Of 2017 Pt. 16 (20 & 19)

Album No. 20 (Rancid - Trouble Maker)


Once upon a time, in a land far far away you knew where you were when it came to a new Rancid album, until 'Let The Dominoes Fall' and things took a bit of a down turn, suddenly you didn't know if a Rancid album was a safe bet anymore, thankfully 'Trouble Maker' sets all that straight. It really is an amalgamation of all the best bits of Rancid, the ska, the punkrock, the borderline hardcore, it's all in there, and Tim's vocals shine through as always, so happy to be able to say there's a new amazing Rancid album in the world again.

Single / EP No. 20 (Forever Cult - Homewrecker 10")


Forever Cult have been showing a lot of promise for a while now, Finally Clue have backed them to the tune of a 10" EP, with 5 songs showcasing the laid back indie rock they've been purveying as of late. Reminds me of Sunshine Underground minus the the grandesqueness and more of the local band made good, this is a band i want to keep an eye on.

Album No. 19 (Ride - Weather Diaries)


Oh dear, Ride have broken the golden rule this year. A classic album should always fit on one side of a 90 min tape, 45 mins max! they've clocked in at around 53 mins. They better have a good excuse. Thankfully Ride do have a good excuse, It's been around 20 years since Andy Bell got a chance to showcase his talents since the outstanding Hurricane #1. 'Weather Diaries' is everything you'd ever hoped a new Ride album could be and more.i don't need to say more, black clear or red, i like the clear one.

Single / EP No. 19 (Social Contract - Citizen 7")


The genre of post-punk has been bandied around a lot lately, Social Contract may well fit into this category, but it's not if you fit, it's how well you fit. As Ace himself once said Social Contract fit 'Like a Glove!' 'Citizen' kicks things off, reminding me of Sulk, another band not afraid to sound like the era they're paying tribute to. 'Six Pips' takes things further into the melodic melting Neapolitan sociopolitical landscape that the music scene needs.
