Bad Religion has for years been considered by new crops of listeners to be a vital band because they're such OG hardcore kingpins. And while the band's justly revered--they've managed to stay together for almost 25 years, all while getting better and growing their audience--"political punk realness" is not where their strengths lie. As to their political numbers, they were never quite able to pen the sort of personal yet timeless anthems that the Minutemen or the Ex did, while in terms of 1-2-3-4 punch, you'd get far more visceral thrills from the first Damned single. Of course, Southern California punk bands injected bushels of melody and hooks into their songs, and B.R. added elements of metal and even psychedelia to their own taut tunes. Their fourteenth album to date, New Maps is a terrific sounding record; at least two-thirds of it begs many repeated listens. The album's second single, "Heroes and Martyrs," is exactly what the band does best. A tightly-coiled and super revved-up anthem, it pits the energy and fast Barre chord sound of the greatest hardcore with a delicious, poppy production and doubled-up backing vocals that brings to mind Queen (or at least Queens of the Stone Age), in the very best way. --Mike McGonigal
Album Description
In a world ruled increasingly by superstition and intolerance, Bad Religion's rousing wall-of-sound punk seems about as necessary now as ever before. It is the impassioned sound of reason, anthems of a bittersweet idealism and a guarded hope set to propulsive guitars and charging drumbeats. And while most groups with even half the artistic output have long ago morphed into stylistic self-parody, Bad Religion is currently surging forward with a renewed creative intensity. Their fourteenth album is both a nod to the band's defiant past and an undeniable step forward in the evolution of a genre they helped to define. Look for them on this summer's Warped Tour, inspiring a new generation of fans.

I've been a BR fan for many years now and despite the fact that they hardly change there sound, they still write good songs...and this album proves that. What is this like there 15th album? LOL One of the Stronger ones....Just bought it today and im not dissapointed one but. If you like albums like Process of Belief, Recipe for hate, stranger then fiction, no control......I'd say you'll like/love this.
Welcome to the new dark ages.......2007-07-29
Finally, the new Bad Religion album! I held out for the Japanese version with acoustic versions of "Sorrow" and "God Song." Besides, it's not like I could just buy the American version in a store, though that didn't stop me from trying the three most likely to have it.
1. 52 Seconds: 5/10; It's actually 56 seconds, and it rocks, but it's hard to hear the words, and they aren't that good anyway. It's really one of those pointless openers.
2. Heroes & Martyrs: 6/10; It's really hard to hear the vocals on this song. The production for the whole album is kind of ugly, but this song is probably the worst offender.
3. Germs of Perfection: 7/10; It's an okay song, but like the whole album, the lyrics just aren't up to the usual Bad Religion standards.
4. New Dark Ages: 9/10; This is possibly the best song on the album, and the closest thing to a title track. Still, they clearly reused riffs from "Atheist Peace" and "All There Is" from their last album.
5. Requiem for Dissent: 8/10; The gang vocals are a nice touch.
6. Before You Die: 8/10; This song is starting to grow on me, but again, the lyrics are kind of lame.
7. Honest Goodbye: 8/10; A little experimentation here, but it's a welcome change of pace and content.
8. Dearly Beloved: 6/10; Poor production on this song.
9. Grains of Wrath: 7/10; It almost has a good message, something like Soul Asylum's "Black Gold," but this song is a little too short and ambiguous.
10. Murder: 4/10; This song should be called "Bad Ape," but it's just filler anyway.
11. Scrutiny: 9/10; It's a dead ringer for "Atheist Peace," but it's still a good song.
12. Prodigal Son: 5/10; For one of the longer songs on the album, this is really disappointing. I thought it was going to be about Bush.
13. The Grand Delusion: 4/10; So it's come to this: They're parodying titles of Styx songs. This is one of the worst songs on the album.
14. The Lost Pilgrim: 6/10; This song had the potential to be a lot better.
15. Submission Complete: 6/10; This must be one of the lectures Graffin gives his students. The concept is good, but the lyrics just don't work.
16. Fields of Mars: 9/10; As usual, Bad Religion at least manages to close the album well. The piano is a nice touch. Still, this song is missing something, and it sounds a lot like "Live Again (the Fall of Man)."
17. Sorrow (Acoustic Version): 8/10; It's a good song, but it was already kind of poppy before being acousticized. On the plus side, those annoying gunshots are gone.
18. God Song (Acoustic Version): 10+/10; The reason you should buy the Japanese version. As good as the version on "Against the Grain" is, this version is better.
In general, there aren't any really awful tracks on here. The album just has three huge problems.
1. The music drowns out the vocals on many songs. Look, I'm no producer, but I think you would turn up Greg's vocals so he's at least somewhat coherent on the verses for "Heroes & Martyrs" and "Dearly Beloved."
2. A lot of recycled riffs from the last album, which is nothing new for Bad Religion, but still, they really overdo it here.
3. The lyrics! Some songs make me question if this is really Greg Graffin. There's really not one single poetically coherent (no, that's not an oxymoron) song on here.
I think this album will go down as one of Bad Religion's worst. It's almost like a reversion, like what Metallica tried to do with "St. Anger." Songs like "Eat Your Dog," "Oligarchy," and "World War III" wouldn't be entirely out of place on "New Maps of Hell."
Also, on a personal note, to everybody who bashes "The New America," it's actually one of Bad Religion's best albums. The music is good, the range of content is superior to any other Bad Religion album, and the lyrics are brilliant. The only reason you don't like them is because they're optimistic (hey, 2000 was a pretty good year until the end). "New Maps of Hell" is kind of an anti-"The New America."
A Throwback.......2007-07-29
Bad Religion harkens the days of "Suffer" and "Against The Grain" with their latest release "New Maps of Hell". It is short, fast and uncompromising in both its musical intensity and fierce ideology. Bad Religion has long been the voice of reason in whatever tattered remains is left of the punk rock scene and "New Maps of Hell" is one of their most furious efforts to date. The tunes continue to focus on politics as well as their disdain of organized religion. The production isn't as clean as "Empire Strikes First", but I believe this was done purposely, recapturing the early 90s when they were recording on their own for Epitaph. All the Bad Religion trademarks are still here: Fast, inspired music complete with typical Bad Religion vocal choruses all which sound as good as ever. Any long-time Bad Religion fans as well as new ones will enjoy this.
Very nice.......2007-07-27
Hmmmmmm well this album is the same old Bad Religion, but just some more new songs my opinion is if your a fan you gotta buy it if not a fan check it out first, but yeah it's great.
Superb.......2007-07-26
Let me just start by saying that i made an error in my review of Recipe For Hate, due to the fact that i was hungover i made the mistake of suggesting that some of the songs should be left for Generator which we all know came out BEFORE Recipe For Hate. Right now that thats out of the way onto the review.
My first impressions were that the album was good...then i listened to it again and again and it became great. BR consistentlty release punk rock that IS PUNK ROCK and not this radio pop punk emo hybrid that floods the airwaves these days.
It starts off with 52 Seconds which basically explains that Greg knows he's 'part of something greater than himself' but as always doesnt know 'what it is,' and the album ends with 'Fields Of Mars' which is a bit different sounding with a piano being implemented into the mix. I know that they used piano on their album 'How Could Hell Be Any Worse' but it sounds cleaner on this album.
The sound quality isnt that great IF you have an extra bass boost button turned on but if its off then it sounds great...not quite up to the standards of Process Of Belief but still much better than Stranger Than Fiction and Recipe For Hate.
The lyrical content isnt quite as strong as their big 3 albums but its still relevant and enjoyable to listen to.
The album is more Punk Rock orientated than Process and Empire which is quite welcome. I'd say this album is as good as Generator, Against The Grain, Suffer and No Control.
If your a BR then its a no brainer, go and buy the thing, it's awesome and its alot better than recent releases from other bands lately...cough cough Sum 41 cough cough

I'm seeing bad reviews and not understanding..........2006-07-01
This album is very different from the albums that preceded it. "The New America" is one of the first "poppy" and less punkish Bad Religion albums but the fact of the matter is that this album still contains amazing song structure, great lyrics and the catchiest hooks that Bad Religion has ever written.
In my opinion, this is Bad Religion for the open-minded fan. The drummer does not do the standard punk drum beat and the rockin' solos we have all come to love are almost none-existant, but the energy and soul are still there and therefore, this is still a great Bad Religion Album...five stars from me!
i agree. this album and recipe for hate are their worst, but..........2006-03-28
they are NOT horrible albums. i can understand why the suffer and no control fans hated this, but it really isnt that bad. world without melody is a sweet song and so is streetkid named desire. this and no substance can be bought last by BR fans, but it doesn't really matter. i was quite surprised when i listened to this. it's just too catchy to ridicule.
i love my computer is funny come to think of it. i will actually admit to liking "long way to the promise land" as blink 182-ish teeny bopper as that makes me sound.
still, if they keep this in print, they should re-release "into the unknown." i think this would be more ashaming than that album even though this album is far from horrible.
At Least This Would End The Slump.......2006-03-18
Probably being Bad Religion's most controversial release of their career, "The New America" is the album that almost put the nail in the group's coffin. Honestly I've listened to this album hundreds of times. I've tried to give it every possible chance I could to somehow see the genius in it, just like I've done for "The Grey Race" and "No Substance". But no matter how many times I listen to this album, I still arrive at the same conclusion; This is by far Bad Religion's worst release. Now before going off and getting upset, there's plenty of legitimate and justifiable reasons as to why this album is bad. For a band of this standard (probably one of the greatest, if not the greatest, punk bands of modern music) this album is just not up to par. Although I give them plenty of credit for releasing this (hey it had been 19 years since they had put out their first album "How Could Hell Be Any Worse?"), there's no way I can honestly say that this sounds like it should have come from an amazing band like Bad Religion.
A brief history note first:
Bad Religion's career can basically be separated into four distinct eras. First there is their beginning which housed anything they released before their brief breakup and then reuniting (anything that was released before "Suffer"). Next there is their prime, which saw them release a string of unbelievably good releases ("Suffer", "No Control", "Against The Grain", "Generator" and "Recipe For Hate"). Following you have their post-Brett period which showcased three below-average-for-this-band quality albums ("The Grey Race", "No Substance" and this record "The New America"), and finally the current era which now has them reunited with Brett and has seen two great pieces of music ("The Process Of Belief" and "The Empire Strikes First"). Of course there are albums which fall out of these four respected divisions (Their compilations and various EPs and "Stranger Than Fiction" which was their transition album from "Recipe For Hate" (prime era) to "The Grey Race" (not so good era)).
"The New America" was the last of three mediocre albums from Bad Religion. Compared to anything the band put out in their "Suffer" era, this album feels totally recycled and contrived. The songs themselves hold no real substance and seem to drag on much past their relevance, even when they're only three minutes. I swore I heard better versions of these songs on previous releases. For a band which was known for great guitar solos, powerful melodies and insightful lyrics, you'd never guess it. While there are a few good tracks ("You've Got A Chance", "1000 Memories" and "Don't Sell Me Short"), most everything here is slow and boring. The passion that embodied previous releases is all but gone, and for sake of sounding over-critical the band really does sound like they were ready to throw in the towel. In the past Bad Religion were known prominently for their distinct political messages and views on free-thinking and religion, but this time around the lyrics are all but stale (and of considerably lesser quality than anything written previously). Not to mention Greg seems terribly uninterested in singing them. His voice used to have a certain presence to it, but now it just feels like he's going through the motions (much like the rest of the band), almost like "ok let's do another album, here's my vocals". Look at "Whisper In Time" or the god awful "I Love My Computer" and try to tell me different. Also there's a terrible use of the backing vocals that have always made Bad Religion's music so great.
There are plenty of reasons which could be attributed to why these things make this album bad. One could argue Bad Religion had simply run out of ideas, and no longer possessed the same intensity and passion for writing music that they did on their earlier releases. However the following record "Process of Belief" totally destroys that theory. It could also be said that the label (Atlantic) had a hand in this and changed the band's sound. Too bad they were dropped shortly after this record hit the shelves. The simplest explanation was simply that they were in a slump after parting ways with Brett (who left the band to manage his record label Epitaph primarily). If you look at their last album with Brett, "Stranger Than Fiction" and their first one after reuniting with him, "The Process Of Belief", this seems to be the most logical explanation. The three albums that fell in between these two releases are anything but memorable and show just how much the band suffered from Brett's departure.
Now I understand that Bad Religion are no longer in this slump (just listen to "Process Of Belief"), but that doesn't make this album any better. "The New America" is totally forgettable, and almost laughable at times. Not laughing in the good way though, laughing in the way that you can't believe you spent money on it. Aside from the 3 or 4 good songs, you have an album more or less compiled of "No Substance" and "The Grey Race" b-sides (or so it feels like) and that's not a good thing. Even if I had never heard another Bad Religion release, I still wouldn't change my view on this record. Boring music is boring music. Period. While I have the utmost respect for this band and what they do, and they still are one of my highest regarded and favorite groups, "The New America" is simply not up to standards. If you are looking for something from these guys, check out anything from "Suffer" to "Recipe For Hate" first. If you must, sample "The New America" sparingly. While it may not be anything to write home about, at least it paved the way for Bad Religion to return back to Epitaph and release the phenomenal "Process Of Belief". For that reason I guess it serves some purpose. Otherwise avoid.
Their poppiest album, but by no means their worst..........2005-10-31
I have all BR's studio albums except No Substance and the Gray Race, and of the ones I own I can say that Recipe for Hate is the worst, and Generator is the best. The New America is slammed a lot by people who have nothing better to do, but in truth it is a good album. The lyrics are a hell of a lot more optimistic and upliftng than albums like Suffer, No Control and Generator, and the sound is more pop, but I still like it.
One thing, I have seen a lot of people mention how much of a geek Greg is fro writing "I love my computer". It saddens me that i need to explain this, but the song is ironic, and it condemns how we are nothing but a soul-less race who care more about our technology than each other. It is not to be taken literally, you idiots. In fact, much the same point is made in "21st Century (Digital Boy)", so all you stupid "Only the first Epitaph years are worth listening to" people have nothing to complain about. For once.
All in all, this is a good album, and as good a place to start as any (but it's a little hard to find here in England).

Sammy Kershaw is underated.......2004-10-30
This has to be one of the most underated albums in country music. Sammy Kershaw's "Poliitics, Religion and Her" came out in 1995 and is like a breath of fresh air to listen to nowadays. I appreciate this album more now in 2004, because with country music going down the drain (all the country singers are trying to be rock and pop stars), this cd takes me back to the 1990-1997 years when country music still had substance and just a hint of pop/rock. Sammy tells a story on each of these songs. The album has a nice flow to it and the tackles the subjects of being in love, heartbreaks, and having fun. It is very nostalgic and will make you think of experiences in your own life. The singles from this album were "Vidallia", "Meant to be", "Fit to be tied down", and "Politics, religion and her." While these songs carry the album, the rest are still great. One of the best songs is "Chevy Van". The arrangements are nice and smooth. This is an album every country fan should own-regardless of age. Listen to this cd and let it take you back to the good ol' days (of your own life and of country music).
Kershaw finds his own voice.......2001-08-25
When Sammy Kershaw first hit the country charts with his debut single Cadillac Style, a big part of his appeal was undoubtedly his vocal similarity to George Jones. Kershaw played up to this, including recording a duet of A Good Year For The Roses with Lorrie Morgan, which echoed the great Jones-Tammy Wynette duets of the past. By 1996 and the release of Politics, Religion and Her, Kershaw had established himself as a regular in the charts and judging by this album, felt ready to move on creatively while retaining the strong country element that characterised his earlier albums. A notalgic theme runs through the album, concentrating on love lost (I Saw You Today, For Years, Same Place). I also enjoyed the fun These Flowers ("...ain't for you, they're for your mama...") and the bitter-sweet Chevy Van. His cover of the Chuck Berry classic Memphis Tennessee chugs along without adding anything new. The album's highlight is the title track, which in the best tradition of classic country takes the form of a monologue, possibly delivered on a barstool, told by a man who has lost the love of his life and will happlily discuss anything apart from politics, religion... and her. Kershaw hasn't recorded a weak album and for a first-time listener I'd recommend, rather obviously, his greatest hits collection The Hits, Chapter One. Anyone who wants to look past the number ones and further into the singer's back catalogue should purchase this album without hesitation.
the woman an the vegetable.......2000-03-31
this song is so true onions make you cry and so do the woman, no offense but it is true i recomend this album as well as almost all of sammys music
excellent cd!.......1999-10-30
I love this cd! "VIDALIA" is one of my all-time favorite songs in the world! It makes me envision people dancing and having a good time. The song is filled with soooo many memories for me. "Meant to Be" also shows some of Sammy's greatest work!
Great album.......1999-04-21
Politics, Religion and Her is one of the most touching songs I've ever heard. It's beautiful ! Meant to be is also great. All around a great album to listen to.

Album Description
8 String Religion is a timeless masterpiece by composer/cellist David Darling. The album combines David's cello, piano and vocal improvisations with sound engineer/producer Mickey Houlihan's nature recordings. It features eight nature-oriented pieces that evoke the unity of nature, humanity and music.
Customer Reviews:
Eh.......2007-03-16
I suppose it depends what you're looking for.
The "inspiration" in these compositions seems to be a mantra-like repetitiveness, with very slow drawn-out development, and serendipitous improvisations coming and going.
So if you're looking for a trance-inducing envelope of sound, with a little tinkering here and there (with nothing too challenging), then this is a nice CD.
If you're looking for engaging cello, go Yo-Yo, Rostapovich, Cassales, just to name a few. If you're looking for excellence in composition or improvisation, go just about anywhere else.
Deeply moving masterpiece.......2007-01-16
There are no words adequate to describe the experience of listening to this CD, a deeply moving masterpiece of composition, instrumentation and expression, at times soaring to unexpected heights, at others quietly reaching contemplatively into the depths of one's heart and soul bringing great inner peace...it may bring tears to your eyes with its sheer beauty.
d.d. always does it right.......2005-07-15
ive been listening to david darling since his early days on ecm, own all of his
things, but till now have been allergic to the 'new age' look of, say, his 'cello
blue' and that sort -and couldnt discern WHY hed 'break it up' that way- ecm to
new age- until i listened to the itemd i didnt have. the man can simply do no
wrong. i own pretty much everything (no joke) but invariably when people are
passing thru my apt, house, car, office and hear something from dd, they WANT
it- thats everyone from rockers to classicists.
be sure to check out the magnificent 'epigraphs'(ECM) with pianist ketil bjornstad.

Bland uninteresting music.......2002-12-19
I don't understand the rave reviews for this CD. The music is rather bland and insipid. I had just finished listening to the Beethoven late quartets before I previewed the Darling, so this CD simply paled in comparison. I suppose it would be okay as background music, but it is not a CD one would want to spend time listening to.
Cello Music To Heal The Soul..........2001-06-28
This cd should be selling off the shelves at a rapid pace. This is actually a reissue that was previously on HEARTS OF SPACE label. Music that will touch your soul and change your way of listening immediately. The key tracks are: #2, #3, #4, #9. Be sure to spread the word... David Darling is an amazing artist and hope that more of his work becomes famous...

Customer Reviews:
Really Grows on You.......2006-04-17
This is another one of those albums I picked up based entirely on the fact that it is a Frontiers release. Frontiers has such a stellar track record with AOR/melodic rock albums that just seeing their logo on an album is a good indicator that I'm going to like it.
That being said, it took me a while to really get into this album. I wasn't blown away when I first listened to it, but it really grew on me after a few spins.
New Religion is a pretty straightforward AOR/melodic rock album. Lost Weekend is obviously influenced by old school bands like Journey, Boston, and Foreigner, but doesn't try to imitate them or recreate that 80's sound. The vocals seem unremarkable at first, as they stay pretty much midrange throughout the album. After a couple of listens though, you realize they're quite solid and really carry the album. More than anything else, singer Paul Uttley's voice is what sticks in your head and has you singing along in the car.
They may not be as catchy or as instantly memorable as bands like Fair Warning or Bonfire, but Lost Weekend should appeal to most AOR/melodic rock fans, though it may take a few listens to really catch hold.
