waste of time and money
this so called music is worse then the life won't wait matterial and disturbingly distant to rancids style of music.I think the boys on serious drug this is so horrible!
try lars freidrickson's solo cds their better than any cd rancids done in 10 plus years real punk real music to rock out on !

Please no!
Wow... This would be good if it weren't for one thing. Tim. Really, just buy an Aggrolites Cd, good music with out the bad singing and lyrics.

If you dig the ska side of Rancid, fully fabu. "Into Action" will get you there.

Good, expected more
This CD should have been called "Tim Armstrong and The Aggrolites" since they provided most of the music. Nonetheless this is a pretty good CD, a good summer album with a smell of reggae ska to it. The DVD has some good music videos on it, most of them you have probably seen if you follow Rancid, but they are still cool.

rancid fans beware...
if bob marley were still alive today he would really love this album. it reminds me of marley's "legend" disc. a poets life is total reggae from start to finish. the pace is the same throughout the disc. the songs are slow and the beats are simple. the songs arent bad, but they are not punk songs, nor do they sound anything like rancid songs. i guess i shouldnt have expencted them to sound like rancid songs, but i did, and i think alot of other people do too. if you like bob marley reggae style then you will love this, otherwise you should think twice about purchasing this album.
