ncid roars back to life after a six-year hiatus with "Let the Dominoes Fall," an album that reminds listeners of the virtues of economy and conviction. The Bay area punk-rock quartet blazes through 19 tracks in less than an hour, offering short, familiar blasts of percolating ska-punk rhythms (some under two minutes) and righteous indignation.

They repo the melody from 1995's "Ruby Soho" to sing about feeling "disconnected from the country I love"; blaze through Iraq/media/Katrina gripes; and write with working-class empathy about a soldier, a stripper, and punk rock itself -- "a place where everyone can belong." It's like the Clash, with hugs!...full text |
