"I know that Bad Religion isn't long for this world, but that concert felt like closure to my decade long devotion to them. It was like the final statement they made to me as a fan, and it was damn-near perfect."

Here's the a link to the setlist:

It was incredible, to say the least. They played 7 songs from 'Suffer' in a row. Every studio LP in their catalogue got represented except 'Into The Unknown' and 'No Substance'. I can wish for this song and that song to be played, but I got so much from it anyways, it wouldn't have mattered all that much.

Really wish they'd play some of their TPOB/STF b-sides live. I'd rank News From The Front and Who We Are amongst their best songs

If it weren't for a few songs on this album, this would hands down be my favorite BR record

Ocean of Noise -- They're 50 years old, they've been a band for 35 years, and they MAY have one good album left in them. But it's unrealistic to think they can keep going indefinitely. I feel that if they do put out one more album, they'll tour for it, have a farewell tour, and that'll be it--I can't see them doing much more beyond that.

I feel like they should just stop producing new material and continue to tour when they feel like. They are still incredibly tight live.

There are 3 other Bad Religion albums on the front page right now, so can we talk about how awesome this one is?

I have a group of friends coming over for dinner tonight and I've been searching the internet all morning hoping to find a Recipe for Eight.

Lookin' In was a single, I guess only california rock radios played it, that song is the most old school of the bunch. But I too didn't like most of it, the first 2 albums I had by BR were How Could Hell Be Any Worse + Bad Religion EP on the same CD and Strange Than Fiction (which is the superior major label record, where they pulled a 180 on Recipe for Hate, the only horrible song on that one is "Television" with Timmy "yuuuuhhhhhhhh" Armstrong.



Anyway, back to this one. Last complaint is, they remastered (and remixed?) all the Epitaph Releases...the version of Recipe for Hate I have is actually on Epitaph, it's likely a very early version, it's also on cassette heh.



Songs that me and my bassist in my old band would sing from it, it was the only BR album he possessed and knew by heart, in that girl's basement where people were dropping E and methbombs and LSD and drinking themselves stupid with my favourite female friend being the owner of that house that was almost a clandestine bar, she'd charge when people she didn't know was brought in by people she knew later on eve. Those songs were "Skyscraper", the best song by far on this album and it could have been on Generator. So what's that about remastering? The other major label albums I actually like and listen to (Stranger (jap edition), The Gray Race), this one needs remastering real bad, it sounds awful compared to Stranger and a step downwards in production from the already cold, sterile, Generator. Bad Religion's "..And Justice" I guess.



All Good Soldiers is fun, it's Dead Kennedys like in it's nutty riff about a nutty thing called joining the military and the support the troops bullshit. "Watch It Die" I can sing along completely, and Greg is really pissed off despite it sounding like every other mid tempo songs on there, the lyrics also give massive pause (to think, I hope). Of course, their first big hit American Jesus is a great little ditty making fun of Bush Sr. What an efficient little riff.



I'll have to give credit to the reviewer, Don't Pray On Me is great musically and also lyrically....when some Christian says he will pray for my grandmother because I said she had heart problems, example, atheists/agnostics, we find it offensive. How difficult is it to say "You got my sympathy?".

This aged damn well. Enjoy it even more than back when it came out. A solid 4.2 for me at least.

I for one even prefer their later sound to their earlier works. It sounds more mature somehow.

Some mad infectious stuff here even by BR standards, while they were also experimenting too. Need to revisit this one, could be top-tier BR.



Also some of their best riffs easily
