My second favorite BR album, right under Suffer. It's melodic, it's aggressive and it's poignant. All that is awesome.

One of my favorite bad religion albums, I love every song on it and after hundreds of listens still hasn't grown old on me. BR are still one of the best punk rock bands alive today.

This c.d., "Stranger Than Fiction," is by no means there best (look to either side of the 90's to find those), but it is arguably the most accessible. Not only that, but it also holds a few of their biggest hits ever ('Infected', '21st Century (Digital Boy)'), as well as a few punk gems. If you're looking to get into this band, this (or perhaps "The Process of Belief") would be a good starting point.

This is a fantastic album. Leave Mine to Me rings louder now than ever. Tiny Voices brings those Punk-O-Matic nostalgia vibes. The Handshake is a classic Bad Religion cut, an all time best. The production value goes up, and this is riight before the substance dries up. Bad Religion has a "last hurrah" album seemingly every decade. This is the 90s Bad Religion's last hurrah.

Fresh from their first debut on mainstream radio, and then signing to a major label (Atlantic), BR finds themselves to sell out, at the expense of continuing themes found on Generator and Recipie (The themes of songwriting, the lyrics are still there). Finds a very complete album, with a longer run time than their golden late 80s era, but with the same machine gun drums and erudite lyrics abound. Their poppier tracks haven't aged well, as Infected seemed like a cash in on the grunge movement which died soon after this album was released (Or maybe I always thought that song was Nirvana or Soundgarden?) Top tracks are Marked, Inner Logic, Hooray for Me, Better Off Dead , the Title Track and Tiny Voices. Andy Wallace puts a great job on the production standpoint. Its much clearer than earlier releases but not at the expense of intensity or depth.

Here's the problem with the Punk genre: boring.
The musicianship is always tight, but in terms of originality and individuality - qualities greatly touted in the punk movement - there is very little.
Each song is a quick fix with no real standout.
No wonder punk died
