5.0 out of 5 stars The Golden Years of Punk On One Disc., July 9, 2003

By	B-R-Mike M. (Old Lyme, CT USA) - See all my reviews

Alright, I'm going to break down this album into the many parts that it is in.

How Can Hell Be Any Worse: Released in 1980, this album is one of the most influental and individual albums of it's time. Conbining for the first intellegent lyrics with melodic hardcore punk rock. Easy to compare to their later work, this album shows their ability to show their ideas of a better world in a more honest and civilized way then most of the music of their time.

The album also includes the classic track "F**k Armagedeon, This Is Hell" which has been voted one of the greatest punk songs by many BR and punk fans.

Classic (5 Stars)

Bad Religion EP: The classic debut album from the band. Includes the original version of their classic signiture song, and the original recordings of "Slaves" and "Drastic Actions". It's the most wanted and bootlegged Bad Religion album of all time.

Classic (5 Stars)

Back to the Known: A follow-up to their experimental and unsuccessful 1982 failure "Into the Unknown", this album comes back with the original Bad Religion style, but still not the same. The songs are at times longer, and deal with a more deeper intensity.

The album includes the classic sssslllloooowwww version of their signiture track "Bad Religion", and also the original recording of the classic "Along the Way" which has been voted the best BR song, ever. The album also includes the tracks "New Leaf" and "Yesterday" that show a matured Bad Religion.

Classic (5 Stars)

The last three tracks are cuts from the compilation "Public Service".

5.0 out of 5 stars The Beginning of A Great Band!, November 24, 2002

By A Customer

Raw, high-energy, fast, catchy, politicaly driven and with a positive message. These are qualities that represent this band. This is a Classic. First hearing this album, I was completely amazed on good this band is. The beginning has fast, catchy songs and towards the end has a little bit of metal mixed in, but still worth the money.My favorites are "We're Only Gonna Die" "Latch Key Kids" and "Part 3".This one of Bad Religion greatest albums and punk's all time greatest. A 28 piece of heaven. The ulimate BR collection. To me, these guys are legends. I highly recommend this album to anyone BR fans or fan of classic punk rock. Punk was never the same when this album was came out.

5.0 out of 5 stars The epitome of early punk, January 30, 2004

By A Customer

This is easily one of the best compilations of early punk rock music ever! This has none of your poppy, trying-to-appeal-to-everyone type of music...it is pure punk! If you're a Bad Religion fan, or just a punk fan, you are sure to enjoy this compilation. This CD is the kind of CD where you can listen to every single song on the CD; every song is a good one! I highly recommend it!
