Let’s Go by Rancid
Let’s Go is an album by Rancid, released in 1994. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Salvation”, on 13 lists with a best position of #54.
Let's Go, Rancid's second album, tore out of Epitaph Records on June 21, 1994, a buzzsaw of a record from the Berkeley crew that Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman put together after Operation Ivy. It was the first Rancid album with Lars Frederiksen on guitar and vocals, and his arrival turns the band into a two-guitar street gang, trading snarls with Armstrong while Freeman's bass runs rings underneath and Brett Reed keeps the drums at a gallop. Brett Gurewitz produced, the first of many turns he would take behind the desk for them, and he keeps it raw, fast and loud.
At first it barely registered beyond the faithful. Then The Offspring, Green Day and Bad Religion blew punk wide open, the latecomers found their way back to Let's Go, and "Salvation" went out to alternative radio early in 1995, dragging the album onto the Billboard 200.
