Life Won’t Wait by Rancid

Life Won't Wait, Rancid's fourth studio album, came out through Epitaph on June 30, 1998, and it had a tough act to follow: ...And Out Come the Wolves, the 1995 record that helped make these Berkeley lifers one of the bands credited with dragging punk back into the American mainstream. Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, who had come up together in Operation Ivy, were still at the core, with Lars Frederiksen as the second guitar-and-vocals man and founding drummer Brett Reed behind the kit.

Critics warmed to it even though it never sold like its predecessor, and "Bloodclot" is the track that made it onto rock radio's countdowns. It's a band refusing to sit still after its biggest moment, and that restlessness is right there in the title.
