Full review

Bad Religion have been around for a long long time now. So far, they've churned out 14 full length albums (including 1 live one), a couple of EP's (from 1981 and 84), and have appeared on nearly 50 compilations since 1980. This, I think is the best of them by a long way. The first half of the album is particularly special. Songs such as 'A Walk' and 'The Streets Of America', are 2 of my favourite songs EVER!! They are a good example of what this band do, and they seem to find it easy doing it over and over again. Greg Graffin has surely got the coolest voice in the world. To anybody who likes punk, you must have this album (although I did have difficulty in finding it). Other songs worth hearing are 'Punk Rock Song' and 'The Gray Race' (all 3 of these songs were also released as singles in the same year that the album was released (1996). As I said, this is the best Bad Religion album ever. If you like them, then you should definitely buy it. You'll like them even more!!
