One of my lesser favourite BR albums.



Don't Sell Me Short is a classic track though.

I believe the strongest songs on here are You've Got a Chance, There Will Be A Way and Don't Sell Me Short.

Album was ahead of it's time; it's the one album that has aged for the better with every year until maybe it'll finally get the recognition it deserves from the entire fanbase.

Actually, I kind of like that song nowadays; the chorus & the post chorus / solo is superb, but the verse still does sound goofy, possibly because the verse lyrics are so literal (personification of the actual computer) vs the chorus which detaches and goes more metaphorical & psychological.



I also hate Raise Your Voice for similar reasons: too literal, too simple.

and now it's time to set the agenda

learn the past, make it last

share the wealth, hold your fire

conserve life, make it right

kill the hate

negotiate

there will be a way

Greg Graffin is way too into this at times. I didn't get into BR honestly till 'the Process of Belief' plus I had to grow up and become a punk, I guess. Why is Greg Graffin so happy singing a "Streetcar Named Desire". People make fun of "I Love My Computer." I think that song is great and some others. But Tell Greg maybe to not get into that Streetcar song song he's just totally 10/10 into it.

I think 'No Substance' has some gems, but this album if you just want some pure comedy and actual legit good songs too here it is. Greg Graffin singing way too hard for songs that don't even deserve it. The most POP Bad Religion ever got.

I have to post again! Greg Graffin called this an contractual album. I still think the Streetcar sucks because Greg has no reason to be so hyped and happy singing for it. At least "I Love my Computer" feels appropriate and more than ever.

I bet Greg likes that song as he predicted the future.
