Indestructible by Rancid
Indestructible is an album by Rancid, released in 2003. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 41 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Fall Back Down”, on 27 lists with a best position of #20.
Indestructible, Rancid's sixth album, came out on Hellcat on August 19, 2003, with Bad Religion's Brett Gurewitz producing and Warner Bros. handling distribution. The Berkeley punks, still led by Operation Ivy veterans Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman with Lars Frederiksen as the third voice and guitar, sound like a band with nothing left to prove and plenty left to shout about.
The street-punk bark is intact, but the tunes are sunnier and more open-hearted, built on shout-along choruses. "Fall Back Down" is the rallying cry, and "Red Hot Moon" swaggers along behind it. It was also the end of an era: the last record with drummer Brett Reed, who left in 2006, and the only Rancid album carrying his songwriting. It debuted at number 15 with 51,000 copies in its first week, the band's best opening until Let the Dominoes Fall six years later.
