Rick Anderson of AllMusic gave the records two and a half stars out of five stating that despite the "rambling instrumentals that are slow [and] moody", it sometimes becomes "boring" and that the "band is going to have to, well, try harder". [1] Scott Heisel of Punknews.org gave it three and a half stars stating that fans of Seam, Built To Spill, and Hum should buy the album. Heisel praised the track "Drunk In Carthage" (mistaken spelled as "Drunken Carthage") stating it as a "jammy slowcore song" and "the song alone is worth the 8 bucks Asian Man will ask you for this compact disc".

Indestructible is the sixth studio album by the American punk rock band Rancid. It was produced by Brett Gurewitz and released by Hellcat Records with distribution through Warner Bros. Records on August 19, 2003. Despite critical acclaim, the band was criticized by some of its fans for Indestructible's "poppier" sound on some of its tracks. It debuted at number 15 on the charts, selling 51,000 copies in its first week. It was Rancid's highest debut at the time, which was surpassed six years later with their 2009 album, Let the Dominoes Fall. Indestructible marks the last recording by drummer Brett Reed, who left the band in 2006 and was replaced by current drummer Branden Steineckert. Additionally, it is the only album that features songwriting contributions from Reed.

It is a concept album, with all of the songs written from the perspective of a single teenage boy dealing with the growing pains of adolescence. Singer, guitarist, and songwriter Josh Caterer described it as "kind of a concept album about a teenage life. All of the songs are written from the point of view of a high school student, and they explore aspects of teenage life. This would be [about] a contemporary teenager. It's not specifically autobiographical of my high school experience. Obviously, those things are incorporated into what I write, but I tried to create a character who is the protagonist in these songs."
