Thank god this album happened! This was pretty much like Bad Religion starting over.

I'm bored to the extreme

This world of foolish dreams

Disillusion

I am not who I seem to be

Yeah sure I might do harm

And bear my right to arm

Retribution

just bought this album for 2 dollars. Ive never heard bad religion before. Is this a good album to begin with? I'll probably review it too since these reviews are absolute shit.

Album Rating: 3.5

Nice album, though it is my first taste of Bad Religion as well. Musically no song here disappoints me, since it's all very consistent. The longer songs here prove to be just as good and as interesting as the shorter, faster ones. The only thing with this album I can't really get into is the way which the vocals are sung. I guess I was walking into this album expecting a rawer vocal approach but to me it sounds unnecessarily clinical and melodic, too much at times for me. That said, I think I should go to the beginning to really understand where Bad Religion started out musically.

I cannot believe I haven't listen to them until now, this is really good. In fact, so is pretty much everything I've heard from Against the Grain and Suffer too.

try No Control then

This album is terrible.

Album Rating: 4.5

whaaaaat?

I really don't like it. Suffer, No Control, and Against the Grain are really the only great albums this band ever made.

Recipe for Hate is pretty good too, but after that album they went downhill fast.

Heard this again recently and it is now my favorite BR album.

Album Rating: 4.5

This is the best album of BR's second era with Brett. Fast punk tracks and slower alt-rockers all on point.

Probably my favorite Bad Religion as well, along with maybe Empire. Great album

Album Rating: 4.5

It's right there with Against the Grain, Generator, Recipe, and Stranger than Fiction. Difficult for me to pick a favorite really.

Album Rating: 3.5

Shattered Faith is exactly the kind of track that should not be just a bonus one, it ends the album better than the real closer and it is also one of my personal favorites.

Don't you just hate when that happens?

Uncontrollable

I'm inconsolable

This and empire are my two favorites but they have volumes of incredible work so its all pretty close

Album Rating: 4.5

This followed by empire was a hell of a comeback after the Atlantic years



I love the opening three song stretch on this that lasts all of four minutes. Balls out.

Album Rating: 3.5

After this album they only made great to excellent stuff really. Very reliable band.

Jesus how good is Shattered Faith for real. I also love the beginning of Bored and Extremely Dangerous, it sounds very ominous in similar vein to Better Off Dead

Album Rating: 2.0

Displaying all that makes Bad Religion great is the process of belief. The album is very punk and true to its roots yet it has something/things that appeal to all audiences. The lyrics are unmistakeable and well thought, the lead singer Greg Graffin truely is a genious and has ways to convey his thoughts. The instructments aren't what you'd expect from a punk band, yes I said it. There are solos and drum fills, and the drumming isnt the standard snare, bass, tom with some symbals, it must be a full set. While the guitarist cant play amazing arpeggios, he definatly is talented and he is very rememberable.
