A new guitarist. A major record label. Sounds like good progress for a band, right? Well, not Bad Religion. With Brett gone, it looked like Greg would have to tackle the whole writing process alone. And this album's the result. A lot of people pan this album (and the next two, of course) because one-half of that unstoppable tandem is gone. I, however, love it. This album contains some of Greg's best songs. The Streets of America is a scathing mid-tempo criticism of the culture of commerce, and Come Join Us ranks among Greg's best song lyrically. Cease and Punk Rock Song are also huge highlights. rI can, at least, understand why people don't like it, though there are people that will at least say that it's Bad Religion's best album of the "Unholy Trinity." But I will stand by my opinion that this is one of BR's best, and I'll continue to defend it against those who say otherwise.
