5.0 out of 5 stars BR's zenith, in one man's humble opinion, January 23, 2004
By Campbell Roark "tri-zeta" (from under the floorboards and through the woods...) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Against the Grain (Audio CD)
This is one of the reasons I ended up going to college for philosophy. Take that as you will.

If you are looking for an introduction to Bad religion you could do no better. If you are looking for an intro to punk in general, be warned- this will spoil you. It's just too good.

This is the album that got me into punk, the one that showed me what the medium could do, how thoughtful and acerbic it could be. Behold- This one is a band-launcher. Such thematic diversity and rhythmic variety, propulsive and tight, such ferocity...

I don't care much for BR's work post- Stranger Than Fiction (though Process was a nice surprise), but thanks to this and Suffer they can do no wrong in my eyes.

Modern man, Entropy (the only song I bet to ever mention Ludwig Boltzmann), faith Alone, walk Away, Misery and Famine, 21st Century Digital Boy, the sweet-arena rock drums that close out Anesthesia... There are NO Sleeper tracks.

PS I learned more vocab by sitting around reading BR's lyric sheets with a dictionary than I ever did in any English or SAT-prep class. So adventurous home-schoolers take-note!!!! The opening lyrics of 'Positive Aspect of Negative Thinking,' for example...

"Let's gather 'round the carcass of the old deflated beast,
we've seen it through its accolades and rested in its lea
syntactic is our elegance, incisive our disease,
the swaths endogenous of ourselves will be our quandary..."

si jadis me souviens...

PS thank you, Josh Locker, for turning me on to this, all those years ago... If you're out there...

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Separate Nostalgia, August 3, 2005
I am Biased about this album. Many people's favorite songs or recordings are created at pivotal points in their lives. I'm sure anyone hearing this for the first time today will discard it due to dated production sounds. Some people dislike the pop-punk of the late eighties because it wasn't as hardcore as the 70's or early 80's. However, it was like its predecessor in that its goal was to disrupt and inspire. This album did just that for many people. If you like BR then this is the apex of all their material, in my opinion.
