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.

Finally!.......2007-08-03

As a devoted fan of 12 years, I admit everything after The Gray Race has not lived up to their history, until now. The songwriting and arrangements on New Maps of Hell is much more diversified. Every song seems fresh and full of youth, despite the band's maturity as one of the oldest consistently active punk bands. The feeling of angst in this one, so appropriate in our time, touches me just like it did in my youth when I was kicking to Suffer, against the Grain, and Generator. Most importantly for me, the lyrics read like poetry, which is something I pretty much gave up on after the Gray Race. Cheers to BR! Buy the record, you will NOT regret it.

Solid.......2007-07-31

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.

Just as Green Day aped the Ramones, their contemporaries in this Southern California punk quartet aspired to be the Clash. But also like Green Day, Rancid's fresh approach and excellent songs (including the ska-punk MTV hit "Time Bomb" and the anthemic "Roots Radicals") rose far above tribute-band level. And poet Jim Carroll (The Basketball Diaries) adds spoken-word stream-of-consciousness to the dour "Junkyman." While 19 songs makes this 1995 CD drag on a bit too long, Wolves is evidence of punk rock's relevance a full two decades after the Sex Pistols. --Steve Knopper

Skatastic.......2007-08-01

This is one of the few aldums where I like all of the songs. Best way to sum it up - Punk Ska!

One of the best .............2007-04-16

Just a great CD packed full of great punk songs. Sure the guy has a voice like a blown motor but it only adds to the brillance of their songwriting ability as it doesn't need to sound good to be good.

The album does not have any duds on it although I think Junkie Man is probably the weakest track and that in itself ain't too bad....

The highlights for me are: 'Olympia WA', 'Lock step and Gone', 'Daly City Train', 'Listed MIA', 'As wicked' and 'The Wars End'. The bass introduction to 'Journey to the End of the East Bay' is an absolute classic and one of my fav basslines along with 'Guns of Brixton' for punk genre.

I think the best thing about Rancid (and previously the Clash) is that they take you on a journey with their lyrics...they are honest, realistic and punchy...I never get sick of listening to this and this CD is my first pick on my i-pod when I have to fly....

If you are thinking what album to buy next ..buy this..it is pure quality and a deadset classic!!!

AARRRRRRGH!!!!.......2007-02-17

...And Out Come The Wolves is a GREAT album. I'm not going to analyze it and talk about how silly yet historical punk mucic is, but Rancid is a great band, and this is a great CD. By the way, if you ever get a chance to see Rancid live, DO IT. best show I have ever seen.

PUNK? IT"S BASIC ROCK AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE IT!.......2007-01-15

Despite the mohawks, the fake Brittish accents, the tattoos, the sneering and the corny lyrics you nonetheless still have the foundation for a good rock band.

It is easy to analyze Rancid in that they have effectively stole all of the essential elements from the 1970's punk bands. The aching vocals of the Clash, the crunch of the Sex Pistols, the bottom heavy sound of the Jam, the thick-toned ska of Madness and the sneer of Generation X to make a gumbo of the ingredients from the best of the past.

Is it a rip off? Maybe.

But, on the other hand, most music is derivative. If you consider punk a serious and historical form of music then it has to have an influence on other artists 30 years later.

Most or all of the great punk bands burned themselves out. With the exception of the Clash, none of them had any longitivity.

Rancid took the best elements of this coveted music and, essentially, did it better. They applied better songwriting, better musicianship, better production, more substance in the songwriting, etc.

It is silly to call it punk. Punk from the 70's was a reaction to the "fat" in the music business and lean times for the economic period. There are no poltical issues to substantially affect them.

I find this to be a good and enduring work. There are a lot of songs on this disc with a variety of styles. So much keeps on coming at you, song or after song.

Not everything is great but there are some quality, I mean killer, tunes here."Maxwell Murder" has a killer bass solo. "Roots Radicals" falls into a throbbing groove. "Time Bomb" is great and musically muscular ska rune. "Olympia WA" employs heartfelt and crackling voclas. "Lock Step" sounds like an amped up gospel song with it's call and response chorus. "Ruby, Soho" is a bit of power pop, the most commercial sounding song on the cd.

If the image of the band was that of just 4 normal looking poeple, I feel that the music would have received more accolades.

It is a quality work from a good band. Musically, theiy are doing a lot more here than even their 1970's muses. This is far from perfect but definitely a keeper!

Usually when you read that an album is "inspired by" a motion picture or TV show, you can be certain that the one thing those artists were inspired by was a big fat check, and consequently those records generally do not sound very good. But the debut collaboration between no-longer-underground hip-hop artists Dangermouse and MF Doom, allegedly inspired by the Cartoon Network's late-night stoner-centric animation series Adult Swim, is far better than it has any right being. Doom has one of the best flows around, and he's at least as smart as your favorite dictionary-digger. Danger Mouse's obscure samples are excellent, but this is just a fun record that's not trying to be more, or less. Character voices get worked in, and these are pretty cool, especially Shakey's send-up of the fake answering machine cliché. There're also guest appearances by Ghostface Killah, Cee-Lo, and Talib Kweli. When it comes to rappers hanging with cartoon characters, Mouse and the Mask is more fun than a Shaq attack and a Gorillaz record combined. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

Two of this generation's most respected hip-hop artists, Danger Mouse and MF Doom have come together for this album, inspired by Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's popular late-night animation network. Doom, with his near obsession with masked identities and superhero personas, and Mouse, with his murky, ethereal soundscapes that cloud men's minds like Mandrake, are the perfect partners for the project, and each has inspired the other to the finest work of their careers. "The Mouse & The Mask" contains character voices and skits from Adult Swim's most popular original shows, including "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", "Sealab 2021", and "Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law", along with guest appearances by Cee-Lo, Talib Kweli, and Ghostface Killah.

Customer Reviews:

Should've been spectacular, got good instead.......2007-06-13

After gaining worldwide notoriety with the ceased and desisted Grey Album, Danger Mouse replaced Dan The Automator as producer for the highly publicized Gorillaz sophomore LP Demon Days. As such, he is currently one of underground hip-hop's hottest beat-makers and this will assuredly continue in light of this MF Doom collaboration. Last year, the Madlib assisted Madvillain saw Doom hitting more lists than not so it's safe to assume The Mouse & The Mask is pretty much destined for success. However, with almost every character from the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim receiving prime breakdown and interlude time, Danger Doom is the basic antithesis of the b-movie horror vibe Madvillainy enjoyed, which probably benefited from a more universal appeal as your enjoyment of this DM and MF release will be greatly affected by your attitude towards the likes of Harvey Birdman and Space Ghost.

[adult swim]'s Commercialization (Rating: 8 out of 10- -4 stars).......2006-12-04

[adult swim] was being viewed by many people who enjoyed humorous cartoons on the Cartoon Network Channel. I might have been watching that channel since the age of 5 (it used to come on locally here in Atlanta up until about '94). [adult swim] has been responsible for bringing us humous PG 13 cartoons such as "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", "Sealab 2120", and more. I believe they felt the need to cash in on the music industry by allowing MF Doom and Danger Mouse to drop an album under the name Danger Doom. And truthfully, I believed that people bought this album, just becasue of the [adult swim] logo on it.

The Danger Doom album "The Mouse And The Mask" was good to listen to. Most of MF Doom's rhymes are good to listen to (a better move over that "Madvillany" album if you ask me). His flow was consistant throughout this album. Danger Doom's production is good too. This was the first time I hear his production, and it was very impressive.

What I like most about this album is the cameos by the cartoon characters themselves. Master Shake appears on a few tracks leaving voice mail messages cussing out Danger Mouse for not letting him rhyme. Meatwad and Brak spits a few rhymes on this album. There are more cartoon cameos throughout this album too.

Guest appearances are few. Ghostface Killah appears on "The Mask" which is good. Cee-Lo sings the hook to "Benzi Box". And my favorite track is "Old School" with Talib Kweli, is perfect.

The problem I have with this album is the length. The album clocks in at about 37 minutes, making it seem kind of short. Also the songs are short in length too, averaging about 2 and a half minutes, not hearing enough Doom.

Other than that, this album is recommended to fans of [adult swim] who haven't purchased this album, or fans of both MF Doom and Danger Mouse. There are no filler tracks here. Just head nodding music. Enjoy.

Hip-Hop at its best.......2006-11-26

This is a OK album considering its one of the first Danger Mouse+M.F. Doom callabo's(other's were November has Come-Gorillaz)If you ask me some of the tracks will leave you wanting more from the duo and some of the beats annoy you(Basket case,benzie box) other than that the samples are ill danger's beats are one of the sickest,and doom's rhymes are ill(always have bee)if you're gonna cop it its worth your monbey!

Fantastic Beats.......2006-11-04

I was a little skeptical when I purchased this album, not being all that fond of the only track I had heard MF Doom rap on, "November Has Come" by Gorillaz, but I gave it a chance.

Danger Mouse really shines on this album, making every track completely fresh and funky. MF Doom even grew on me, though, among my favorites would have to be Old School, with Talib Kweli, and Benzi Box, with Cee-Lo. However, the whole album is spectacular really. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the bleeping of profanity. I feel that the content on the album is more adult oriented, as is the subject matter from which it took its inspiration, and as such, I feel that the bleeping was unnecessary.

Great album, though, Doom, Danger, and all the others really took me by surprise, and it ended up that this album was far better than expected.

A little disappointed.......2006-09-28

This is my first album from either artist and I have to say, that I was expecting a little more. Adult Swim really, really pushed this album so I bought it. MF Doom is very good at what he does. His rhymes are off the hook and Danger Mouse kicks butt with making beats. The clips from the Adult Swim crew are pretty funny. But, with the exception of a handful of songs, the album lacks that "I wanna listen to it over and over again" feel. I like the album, but maybe I was expecting too much from it.

Amazon.com essential recording

Call them the Nine Inch Nails of punk. Like NIN, the Offspring preserve the essential ingredients of their chosen genre--guitars grinding out three chords, shouted vocals, and plenty of vitriol--and layer them over a melodic base that packs considerable popular appeal. The singles from Smash, the Offspring's breakthrough album, still receive considerable radio airplay: "Gotta Get Away," "Come Out and Play," and "Self Esteem." With these and Smash's 11 other tracks, the band chronicles the adolescent experience with clarity and surprisingly incisive wit. That pretty much describes all of their albums, but this is the one to get. It's got more shape than their earlier material and isn't as disturbingly poppy as their more recent recordings; it's the perfect blend of riffs and rage. --Genevieve Williams

Amazon.com

Yes, they (along with Green Day) finally brought skate-rock into the world of John Q. Mallrat, but the Offspring were hardly spring chickens at the time of this breakthrough album's release. They'd been slogging away since 1987, a span that allowed them to amass all the clever tricks showcased here, most notably the Latino-rap/moshpit-riff mega-hit "Come Out and Play." Just about every track on the disc (the band's third, if you were counting) keeps that careful balance between aggression and accessibility, from the surf-punk self- help rant of "Self-Esteem" to the airy ska-pop of "What Happened to You?" If Green Day are the '90s punk equivalent of the Beatles, and Rancid its Rolling Stones, the Offspring might be its Monkees--remembered for nothing more important than simple, indelible pop. --David Sprague

Customer Reviews:

good, but way too overrated.......2007-07-23

This is a good album, yes, but it is very overrated. Alot of Offspring fans like to defend this album and trash their new stuff without giving any reasons as to why or any constructive criticism of their new stuff. They are just telling me that they're just trying to look cool if they can't say anything better than "smash rulez amaricana/conspiracy of one/splinter SUCK". Well there are later Offspring releases that I like more than this, like Conspiracy of One. Don't like my opinion? Comment on my review, and let's see how well you can debate.
Anyways, I like this album, but I skip a few songs, while on albums like Conspiracy of One or Ixnay on the Hombre I can listen to the whole thing through.
Good album, but not a classic when it comes to what I think.

Timeless.......2007-04-06

Arguably one of the most influential rock albums of the 90s by one of the best bands. Smash, easily Offspring's best album to date came out at a time when Nirvana's Nevermind and Green Day's Dookie albums rocked the radio. Definitely all classics, worthy of 5 stars. Smash is raw energy in every one of Dexters vocals and Noodles' guitar riffs. Relentless fast paced hard hitting tracks that can get you pumped for anything you do, not a weak song on the cd. A** kickers like Bad Habit (the whole thing is about road rage, you dont hear that much), the popular Self Esteem, and my favorite It'll Be A Long Time. Through and through an iconic masterpiece. If you dont have this cd, go get it, NO EXCEPTIONS. Anyways "it's time to relax and you know what that means a glass of wine your favorite easy chair and ofcourse this compact disc playing on your home stereo".

AWESOME ALBUM, AWESOME BAND.......2007-02-20

this album is genius. beautifully crafted, good guitar tunes, but dexter's whine is very common in this album, and it can get annoying, especially in self esteem. but that song still rocks. so does come out and play. so does bad habit. so does genocide. so does what happened to you. and many many others.

classic.......2007-02-14

My first c.d. i ever bought when i was [...].......and till this day at 25--- i still pop this cd in my car and enjoy every song on it....and its one of those albums that everyone knows and loves amongst my friends....if you dont have it...go and order it cause its a classic...

Solid skate punk,but.......2007-01-10

anyone notice that "Gotta Get Away"'s verse parts are sung in the same way as Nirvana's "About a Girl" verse parts? I heard it on the radio today, and I wanted to sing "About a girl" but of course, Offspring's lyrics were different.

After cutting his teeth in spoken-word and rap-battle circuits, Sage Francis launched into hip-hop, sort of. On his first handful of nationally visible solo records (Known Unsoldier being the must-have of the bunch), Francis knotted his stylistic roots, mixing his vocal skills in an emcee's equivalent of cracking his knuckles. As Non-Prophets--with DJ Joe Beats--he signaled his hip-hop arrival on Hope, with referential credentials blaring over beat-down backdrops. Of course, he'll tell you all this himself, and more, and does. The first proper track on Human the Death Dance, "Underground for Dummies" brings all comers up to speed on the Francis oeurve. Thus primed, Francis outs with the clearest presentation of his entire, moody, linguistic repertoire. He's had it in him for years, but this time around, he learned to make a mix tape. In one exemplary run, "Got Up This Morning" brings in revenant folkie Jolie Holland for a back-porch jam that rags on the deserving Charles Bukowski, then "Good Fashion" muscles forward, percussion-free, on the strength of a pounding string ensemble. Finally, "Clickety Clack" explodes forward in a thunderous, dungenous groove. It's hip-hop, sort of, but if this is a death dance, good riddance to the deceased. --Jason Kirk

A bad song by Sage is better than anything supposedly good on BET or the radio. Let me get that straight. I base my reviews off other Sage CDs not the "mainstream" or any body else out there.

Now that I said that here is my review.

My personal favorite stuff from him is the Sick series. Personal Journals was very good but different (just like the song says) Healthy Distrust I needed to listen and listen again to actually catch on. But I love that CD too. Now Human the Death Dance...I hate to say it but I am not feeling this one. Every cd is totally different from the last one. Which is not a bad thing but this cd is really out there and is nothing even close to the intial Sage I heard that made me a life ling fan (The Sick Series). If you have never heard any of those CDS please find a way to check those out...great great stuff. My favorite track on this cd is Keep Moving that song is the best on this cd. When the next cd comes out I will get that one too. I buy the CDs of people I really like and regardless of what I think of this cd I bought and will keep it.

pick it up!! you won't be sorry.......2007-06-23

This cd is a must have if you are into the mid-west scene, or underground period. Definitely one of Sage's best albums. If you don't believe me just give some of the samples a listen. Great beats and amazing lyrics just pick it up man.

Sage, Human Death Dance.......2007-06-12

In general I like this CD. I am an avid Sage fan and have been following his music for years. I really enjoyed some of the beats on this CD though I felt many did not reach their very possible apex. I like this one about as much as Healthy Distrust. His verbage is there as always, my favorite "Buried in a Faustian bargain bin." However none of the songs got to me as much as say, Hope or Make-Shift Patriot. I felt the potential for some of the songs on Human Death Dance to hit this pinnacle but they just fell a little short. The CD is definetly worth purchasing but if you do not have his older stuff I would start with that - Known Unsoldier, Personal Journals, and Hope are my favorites though there are others. In fact on Human Death Dance on the second song, last verse, Sage goes through his story using all the titles of his CD's in different and effective ways, very cool.

I Wanted To Like This.......2007-05-31

Let me start off by saying that I am a FAN of sage francis. I love his music, his words, his ideas, his creativity. I could go on and on giving him praise but this is a review on a cd i found to be dissapointing.
Perhaps my hopes were just set too high. After a dissapointing Healthy Distrust album I was ready for Sage to come back and reel me into his world again. It is hard to be critical about something that someone obviously put his heart into but i was unable to find myself being "caught" by this album like i have been with so much of his past work. While it is definatly leaps and bounds above A Healthy Distrust, this album is no where near as good as Personal Journals or any of his ..Sick albums

Sage's Best Album - .......2007-05-26

If you've heard Sage Francis before and you're considering buying this album, do yourself a big favor, and buy it.

Before I got this album, I had only heard about 8 songs of his from several years ago (Majority Rule, Hey Bobby, etc.). I thought that his stuff was great, but like my expectations of a lot of independent artists, I thought that it was probably just a fluke. You know, the artist fades into obscurity, never advancing.

Well, Sage proved me wrong on this one. He's advancing by leaps and bounds.

This album, Human Death Dance, brought back everything I learned to love about hip hop: Braking the mold, Love of fresh word & rhyme, beats and music that make you realize what you are hearing is totally new.

It starts off with a cool little montage of old recordings he had of himself rapping when he was a kid - then the next track "Underground for Dummies" is a summary of his experiences starting out, his naivete as his strength, managers, etc... his influences (very cool). The background music sounds like nostalgic memories (hints of 80's pop music?) with the end result being a sound in hiphop I've never heard before. It's timeless and an instant classic.

I could go on for every song on this album ("Clickety Clack" blew me away!) but I recommend you get this album, open the lyrics book that comes with it, strap on your headphones, and enjoy the ride.

It's one of those albums that will remind of you of this summer, years into the future.

Album Description

A screaming blast from across the Atlantic, England's Gallows have arrived to remind us of punk's angry roots. Their debut, originally released in the UK in 2006, saw the band immediately heralded as saviors of the scene: "...the best British punk band since The Clash" - Kerrang! "...one of the finest displays of sneering, snotty attitude since The Sex Pistols" - Total Guitar. Gallows combine the founding fury of Black Flag and Minor Threat, blended with the melodic hardcore of Refused, and a brutally honest social vision, unflinchingly tackling topics such as hometown violence, date rape, and broken homes. The US version contains three bonus tracks. "They're anti-boredom, the antithesis of safe rock, the kind of band who actually matter" - NME. Look for them on this summer's Warped Tour.

Customer Reviews:

Gallows.......2007-07-16

The British have proved once again that they can match screaming American music. The songs are great for moshing (haha) and have great meaning to them. My personal favorite song is Orchestra of Wolves becasue of the Moulin Rouge reference. I was excited to get this album and was far from disappointed. All in all, a fantastic album for any hardcore rock fan.

Album Description

Las Vegas's 5-piece rock band follow more closely in the skull-jarring footsteps of Underoath and Senses Fail than those of their hometown contemporaries, The Killers and Panic! At The Disco. With their incredibly energetic live show, Escape The Fate have won over enthusiastic audiences on the 2006 Warped Tour, with sales of over 10,000 of their EP "There's No Sympathy For The Dead".

Customer Reviews:

Nothing revolutionary... but for some reason i cant get enough of it!.......2007-07-26

Ah, escape the fate, not the best band name ive heard but dont let that make you dismiss the band right away. Their first full length, dying is your latest fashion is the followup to a great EP titled there is no sympathy for the dead. listening to the band you wont find anything really revolutionary here or something that hasnt been done before, yet ronnie's voice is rather distinguishable, sort of reminds me From First to Last on Dear Diary if you've listened to that. The screaming is fantastic. if you enjoy the whole emo/screamo hardcore scene then give this a try. i promise you wont be disappointed.
Each track gives you a reason to listen to it over and over again, i found this cd rising on my top play list extremely fast and it always seems to find its way back into my car cd player.
they have some awesome guitar riffs, and solos. i found the singing/screaming combination to be perfect as well.
stand out tracks are: The web we weave, when i go out i want to go out on a chariot of fire, situations, the guillotine, cellar door, my apocalypse, and the day i left the womb
pick this album up now if you want something that you will enjoy listening to over and over. even if the whole "screamo" thing has been done to death.

Worth the money.........2007-03-13

Honestly, I had every track on this CD before it was released. I paid for this album anyway, because I thought it was that good. A lesson that if you make good music people will support you anyway.

However, there are people who would not be happy in heaven. Who will tell you how sorry they are to have heard this disc, and rave about the EP.. which I don't understand, because I listened to them when they first debuted on Epitaph's homepage, and think they've only gotten better.

The only thing I found I did not like on the full length was that two of the songs I really liked on the EP (As You're Falling Down, and The Ransom.) were not present on their full length. I'd have liked them to replace 'The Day I Left The Whom' with 'As You're Falling Down'. That would have overall added one more heavy, and very powerful song to this album.

But, I guess if they put ALL the good songs on the album then nobody would buy the EP, and just wait for this CD. (I'd have bought the EP too if Hot Topic had it.. but they only had the full album. =[)

Everyone in the band excluding the drummer has a place in the vocals which makes for a wonderful harmony alongside the screaming guitars, and rhythmic drums. I found the lyrics to actually be nice contrary to what others have posted; at times they do strike a dull note I'll admit.

Some of the songs are a little more mainstream rock sounding such as Situations, and the single Not Good Enough For Truth In Cliche. So if a little variation does not scare you go ahead and pick this album up.

Impressive Full-Length Debut.......2007-01-05

I've read a lot of the negative reviews for Escape The Fate's new CD Dying Is Your Latest Fashion. Apparently just because they are in the whole "emo" scene all their material must suck. I'm not an "emo/screamo" fan, but this is still an impressive release.

Lyrics are hit and miss. The writing is really good in some parts and just cheesy in others. Musically though, this is very strong. The guitars are pretty good for this to be their first full-length CD ("There's No Sympathy For The Dead" is a track that showcases some of the better guitar work.) The vocals are what impresses me the most. Although the lyrics might at times be subpar the vocals are always top notch. The flow between clean and scream vocals is really tight. They employ clean vocals, the higher pitch "screamo"-type voices, and death vocals, all which work flawlessly.

"The Guillotine" and "There's No Sympathy For The Dead" can both be found on their debut EP and "Situations" can be found on the Unsound compilation from Epitaph Records. So I already knew somewhat of what to expect from this band. "Reverse This Curse" is my personal favorite track. All the tracks are solid so you don't need to use the skip button for this release.

Listening to the CD you can tell they went for a home run at their first at bat with this release. They have the confindence and attitude of a band that has been around for years. With a little maturing and some improvement to some of the songwriting, Escape The Fate has the chance to really make it big. Don't pigeonhole this band with all the other emo/screamo acts out there. Looking at some of the reviews I think that is what some of these reviewers have done. Give this a chance, you may or may not like it, but don't judge it without actually listening to it and just lump it in with the some of the other junk that is out there. This CD is a bright spot in a very oversaturated and underachieving genre.

You should really buy this. .......2006-10-25

This is the best cd ever! If you are in to the emo/screamo/nu-metal/hardcore/etc you will love it. I love all the lyrics. The songs have amazing guitar riffs and the vocals are awesome. Their music makes you want to jump up and down and scream.

=/.......2006-10-09

I have to say that the EP was much, much, much better. This cd just doesn't live up to what I thought it would be. There are a few good songs, but overall it's just an okay album.. nothing too amazing sry2say.

Keeping True Punk Alive.......2007-05-10

The first time i heard this album, I was very skeptical about what i was gonna expect from hearing that first track, only to be swept away on how it lead to the next song, "Sinister Rouge", I knew that from this point there wasn't going to be a song that would dissapoint me or make me ask myself what the hell is this. Bad Religion knows exactly what punkers want and thats to keep making music that we all remember from back in the Suffer, Generator days. I give this one 5 stars

Would you give it all up to live again?.......2007-03-17

Expectations were very high after The Process of Belief. The band had been in a bit of musical doldrums in the late 90's, and had shaken that off with a fast, melodic comeback record that is every bit as good as the reviews will have you believe.

The Empire Strikes First plays like an album by a band that is starting to settle into a new era. The songs are catchy yet abbrasive, the playing is tight and professional, and the vocals are as good as any other punk album you care to mention.

Some people may be a bit put off by things like rapper Sage Francis being highlighted in one song, or the Heartbreaker's Mike Campbell taking a solo in "Los Angeles is Burning," but with preconceptions aside, Empire achieves everything it intends to. Imagine how many people were playing "Let Them Eat War" when they pulled up to the polls to vote in 2004. A sense of hope, a message of unity, and an attitude of discontent go a long way to raising spirits.

It's time to turn the tides indeed.

Another Great Album By Bad Religion..........2007-02-23

This album continues the career resurgence for this band which began with The Process of Belief. Many had left them for dead after two straight disappointing releases in the late 90's (no substance, new america). However, BR came back with a vengeance with The Process of Belief. This album proves that Bad Religion has A LOT left in the tank. It has all of the fast paced, politically motivated anger that you'd expect from a Bad Religion. It also includes a few interesting changes of pace with songs like "Boot Stamping..." and "Beyond Electric Dreams". This is truly a welcome addition to the Bad Religion catalog and I'd reccomend it to anyone who loves good old fashioned punk rock!

They still got it.......2007-02-19

I'm no longer as ignorant about public policy and processes and the government as I was when I started listening to the likes of "Suffer" and "Against the Grain". Now I don't protest things or show support by voicing my opinions for all to hear or through public action like a pretentious prick, but now I do it by voting and posting crappy reviews. And I don't totally agree with Bad Religion like I used to, but, I gotta hand it to them, they definitely churned out another great album and I love the songs. "Beyond Electric Dreams", "Los Angeles is Burning", "Sinister Rouge", "God's Love" are all great. I say, you don't have to support the band view on the current issues and whatnot, but show the love for the band and their musical talent.

I see a contrast..........2006-11-22

A little background info: I only have four Bad Religion albums, those being: The Empire Strikes First, Against the Grain, Suffer, and The Process of Belief. Let's establish that this album is amazing!... but it's different. The style cannot be compared to the earlier Bad Religion, like Suffer and Against the Grain... both of which are great. This album is much more, well, musical! The pace slows down a little, the lyrics don't always come at you at lightning speed, but it's all in a good way. It seems to me like it's a new, more mature path for Bad Religion, and I hope they continue down it. Especially after The Process of Belief... which pretty much sucks. Don't buy it. Get this instead. It's a masterpiece.

Album Description

From Las Vegas, Nevada, a literal hotbed of disaffected young bands, comes The Higher, the new sound of emo, pop and R&B colliding in a dance party explosion. The new album, On Fire, overflows with hooks and harmonies of tooth-numbing sweetness, matched with dark tales of young adulthood gone awry. Signed by Epitaph founder Brett Gurewitz on the strength of their acclaimed 2005 full-length Histrionics and an incendiary live performance at the Roxy in L.A. in early 2006, The Higher have been described as Saves The Day meets Justin Timberlake. With a tour history that includes stints with fellow Las Vegans Panic! At the Disco, The Higher are ready to make the daredevil leap through the flaming hoop of pop stardom.

This CD is absolutely awesome and i would recommend anyone to get it. Amazon are good with deliverys and i have never had any problems with them. Get the Higher. Really GOOD!!

Apparently you CAN write the same song over again........2007-03-08

It's a solid CD; however 3 or 4 of the songs are re-hashed from Histrionics. Ironically one of them is Pace Yourself with it's nice chorus telling us how "you can't write the same song over again". The guys should have followed their own advice. Nonetheless, it's a good CD even if it is just Histrionics 1.5

The masses of humanity will always have to suffer.......2007-07-09

if they keep listening to that mainstream stuff.

This album is definitely one of BR best albums. The songs are very upfront and agressive in your face punk rock songs. My favourite track off this album is 'What Can You Do.' Gregs vocal style on that song is insane, especially on the second verse. All the songs are very well crafted and are fast, hence the album is quite short but still the quality over quantity approach is present and that makes this an album any fan of punk rock should have.

Ive noticed that with a few of BR albums in my opinion that is that they will kick things off with a few super fast songs and then slow it down a bit pace wise before picking it up again and then slowing it down for the ending songs.

You'll see what i mean with this one from track 9...it gets really awesome and the last 5 songs are extremely good.

Basically if you dont have this one then go and get it now...also props to the cover art.

bad religion is my religion.......2006-12-06

this is definently one of my favorite albums of all time. anyone who thinks punk rock cannot be intellectual, should check out bad religion, especially this album. suffer is good from start to finish, even the songs that don't stand out as much at first, grow on you and become some of your favorites. get this album or no control, they are both great. the rest of their albums are actually pretty mixed in my opinion. a few great songs and some not so great ones. against the grain is pretty good and fans of old school punk will like how could hell be any worse. the rest of their stuff, like i said is mixed, but none of it is bad. but suffer and no control, just about an hour of music, are enough in my opinion to name them great. suffer is though, probably their best. if you want thought-provoking,fast,melodic punk, or if you like pennywise you will love this album.

Bad Religion is known as a very influential punk band, and Suffer's the reason why.......2006-08-27

Bad Religion is known for being one of, if not the, most influential punk band(s) of the 90s punk revival. And this album is pretty much the reason why.

The amount of improvement in Bad Religion's musical talent from their first record, "How Could Hell be Any Worse?" (which is also excellent, check it out!) is astonishing. Greg Graffin developed his singing a lot, and that's the most noticable difference. Graffin's songwriting talent is astonishing, and with lyrics like this:

"There's a loser in the house, and a puppet on the stool,
And a crowded way of life, and a black reflecting pool,
And as the people bend, the moral fabric dies,
The country can't pretend to ignore its people's cries."

- You Are (The Government)

he's bound to make you think (and bring out the dictionary more often than not). As you can probably tell from the lyrics, Suffer is very politically oriented (as Bad Religion tends to be}, dealing with a whole range of ideas that I'm too lazy to list. So on the whole, the lyrics are pure genious, as is Greg Graffin.

The guitars, bass, and drums are great too, and evidently helped bring in the modern underground punk sound of today. Catchy riffs and fast beats make it very easy to listen to over and over again, especially songs like "1,000 More Fools", "Forbidden Beat", "Pessimistic Lines", and "You Are (the government)".

Bad Religion is an incredibly adept and talented band, and Suffer more than proves it. If you're interested in punk at all, you owe it to yourself to pick this one up.

The startling sole instance in which an albums repetition does not annoy me.......2006-04-21

I am no fan of repetition. Those radio stations which play the same song every other hour, (which is to say all of them,) annoy the living hell out of me. I insist on maintaining an expansive personal collection of music and rotating that collection in such a way that I'll go through at least ten cd's before returning to a favorite. That being said, let me say that "Suffer" is the one album that, when my car's cd player automatically cycles the disk back to track 1, I won't eject from the console with irritation. This album is so catchy, so fun to try to sing a long with, and yet so amazingly deep and profound, that I've been known to let it hang out in the car for days. If your new to the band, (who's entire body of work can be said to have only produced a child's handful of substandard songs,) then begin at the beginning, with this one. If you've enjoyed at all any of their other offerings, then there is no conceivable way for you to be disappointed upon the purchase of "suffer." Probably my favorite punk record of all time.

one of the best albums of all time.......2006-04-10

this one is definately my favorite Bad Religion album. every song is listenable pretty much.

you are the government is a great opener and will hook in bad religion newbies.

100 more fools is one of the best on here and deserves a place on all BR compilations..how much is enough is definately amazing too. i could go on and on. also noteworthy are land of competition, pessimistic lines, do what you want, and forbidden beat.

the only problem i have with this is the title track. that is the WEAKEST thing on the entire album. not bad, but i hate how it gets the most concert time out of everything on this album. not a bad song, but yeah it is the worst on one of the best BR albums.

all in all a 5/5. no control and against the grain are worthy opponents though!
