Indestructible (Rancid album)

Indestructible is the sixth studio album by the American punk rock band Rancid.

The album's final track, "Otherside", was written by Lars Frederiksen and dedicated to his brother Robert, who died in 2001.

The six tracks left off of the final album were "Killing Zone", "Stranded", "Trouble", "Road to Hell", "Warfare", and "Squatter House"."

"Road to Hell" was re-recorded and a Japanese bonus track on the 2nd Lars Frederiksen And The Bastards album Viking.

[10] On July 24, "Indestructible", "Back Against the Wall", and "Red Hot Moon" were posted on the band's website.

[17] They then embarked on a headlining US tour in November, with Tiger Army; Nekromantix, the Frisk, and Roger Miret and the Disasters appeared on select dates.

[20] Tim Shaw of Ensign sang Skinhead Rob's section of "Red Hot Moon" during the tour.

According to a label spokesman "It's a unique deal that doesn't play by the traditional record biz rules.

"[33] The album was with mostly positive critical reviews, reaching #15 on the charts and making it the band's biggest debut at the time.

However, some fans criticized the album for its stylistic departure from earlier work, claiming that a major label had influenced the band's music to appeal to mainstream listeners (despite the album being written prior to the band's agreement with the label).

The album's first single "Fall Back Down", a song written about Armstrong's divorce and reliance on his close friends, was also met with some backlash from fans for featuring members of Good Charlotte and Kelly Osbourne in its music video.
