Bad Religion!

I've known about these guys since at least 2000. I bought their CD "Stranger Than Fiction" the day before yesterday, and I'm listening to it right now. Sounds like a damn good album! The only other release of theirs I have is "No Control", which I bought back in 2001. Next CD of theirs I plan to get is "Recipe For Hate". I'm not sure how many punk bands Atlantic Records has had in their family, but whatever number of punk groups they've had, this is one of the best they had (even though they aren't signed to them anymore).

stranger then fiction is great. recipe for hate is great too. but dont buy their last album. its crap.

i've got mixed feelings about bad religion. to me, sometimes they just sound like hair metal.

WOOT! im am a huge Rancid fan i got all there CDs and i think it really doesnt matter how old of a band u are as long as u have some serious hardcore music (or just good music in general) than Age just makes u better! lol

I ordered "Recipe For Hate" from towerrecords.com last week. I'm looking forward to it.

I didn't care for Recipe for Hate too much. I'd recommend Against the Grain, Generator, and All Ages. I'm not really a fan of much released after All Ages. It sounds like a completely different band, and it had something to do with one of the members leaving for a while. Their newest album, The Empire Strikes First, is getting back to being good from the garbage that was The New America, but I wouldn't reccomend it.

Ok First of all, the bad was only on atlantic records for i think three albums because the indie record label they invented to distribute themselves back in 80-85 Epitaph (which is now one of the biggest indie labels around) was causing too much work for one of the main guitarists and runner of epitaph, Brett G. this increased workload can most likely be attributed to The offsprings Incredible Smash Album. I didn't like their music on the Atlantic label as much as their other albums but i still found them good. But Bad Religion ditched Atlantic and went back to their Epitaph roots writing and producing songs with Brett again with the phenominal Album Process of Belief. great great album from start to finish.

Recipie for hate was my first Bad religion album and so it is still one of my favoites by them.

and thank Dr. Greg Graffin for still being an awsome punk rocker at 42 years old and prooving to the world punk rock can me intelligent social commentary and not mindless anger.

punk rock was never mindless anger. the world is just too mindless and angry to care about the true deeper meaning to that driving force called punk....

thinks back to Graffin's punk manifesto... he saus it better than me!
