Rancid is an album by a band of the same name, released on August 1, 2000. It was their second self-titled album (see Rancid (1993 album) for the other). It is Rancid's most hardcore offering to date, which was released as a follow up to the more ska and reggae oriented Life Won't Wait. It spans 22 tracks in under 40 minutes, resulting in over 3/4 of the songs clocking at under 2 minutes. Songs on the album make reference to famous gangster Al Capone, as well as Norse God Loki, and Don Giovanni. The album is also commonly referred to as Rancid 5 or Rancid 2000.

Brett Gurewitz temporarily reunited with Rancid and became their producer for this album. It was 6 years since he co-produced the band's 1994 second album Let's Go, although he engineered the band's 1995 classic …And Out Come the Wolves. Rancid and Gurewitz would continue their collaboration for their next two albums, Indestructible and their untitled upcoming release.
