Title track sounds much better live, actually don't mind this version here, still don't like the album version.
I have a huge soft spot for this band, still unashamedly love Splinter and Rise and Fall with all my heart. honestly never listened to Days Go By, but this new one is real bad. I honestly can't believe they signed off on releasing some of these mixes, it's one of the worst produced major albums I can think of in the last few years
Think this alread leaked on youtube a few weeks ago and was taken down. Playing Let The Bad Times Roll, Come out and Play and Self Esteem live for a French radio station.
This album is one of the biggest surprises of the year for me, honestly think the whole thing minus the last two tracks is pretty fuckin solid. Really fun classic Offspring feelings here, way better than I ever expected from a late-career album
My expectation for late career albums are still high. Bad Religion sets a great standard. I still feel like this is has a singles/compliation/bsides album feel as in its a little disjointed. New music is better than no music, and some of the songs are good. Happy fans got something.
I really gotta dive deeper into Bad Religion's catalog. I know the classic albums and a few singles, but I like them enough I should just get more into them. It's just an overwhelming amount of material
I had this same thought today when thinking about their Decades livestreams. Such an awesome thing to do for their fanbase, but I wouldn’t know the majority of the material.
Yes you should. The eras a slightly different but they have a very unified discography. I’d suggest than fiction Stranger Than Fiction and True North. Where you go from there would depend on which album you should listen to next. Also, there’s always Suffer which reshaped the genre and defame the inspiration for so many other bands.
Stranger Than Fiction was one of the first punk albums I ever bought when I was a kid. I remember ordering it back when they used to do those CD catalogs where you order 6 or 12 at a time in the mid-90s. I really like that album, but for whatever reason, never really dug into anything else from them other than The Process of Belief, which I bought in high school and also really enjoyed.
For everyone in here, I recommend checking out The Empire Strikes First and No Control if you haven't.
You can’t really go wrong with any of their albums but The Process of Belief was the first Bad Religion I ever bought. It made me fall in love with the band and I think it contains a little bit of everything they do well on it. I would start there.
"You" being on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 is what got me into Bad Religion. I've been hooked ever since. Also I agree with Process of Belief being a great into album to the band. Can't believe it's almost 20.
If you read his thread about it he says he can't get it because of medical reasons and his doctor told him not to. Idk seems kinda sad to me.
