Template:Album infobox Let's Go is a 1994 punk rock album by the band Rancid. Released on the influential indie label Epitaph Records, Let's Go achieved little mainstream success, though it appealed to the band's fanbase. However, the surprise success of punk pop bands like The Offspring and Green Day in the mid-1990s made the album chart better than had ever been expected.
The single "Salvation" peaked at #21 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album peaked at #2 and #97 on Billboard's Heatseekers and Billboard 200 charts, respectively.
