Advantages: some good songs

Disadvantages: quite short songs

Bas religion are an American punk rock band that have been going for a number of years now, and this was their 5th studio album from them entitled against the grain.
It came out nearly 20 years ago now, in 1990 however the recording quality is still great, and the tracks still fantastic.

Bad religion have a kind of slow singing style to them, whilst having really fast beat songs, its kind of strange and you might have to give them a listen to see what I mean.
The only disadvantage to them is that a lot of their songs do sound similar, and they have done so many songs in the past its hard to remember some from others, but there was certain ones on this album I enjoyed the most.

Track listing.
"Modern Man"
"Turn On The Light"
"Get Off"
"Blenderhead"
"Positive Aspect Of Negative Thinking"
"Anesthesia"
"Flat Earth Society"
"Faith Alone"
"Entropy"
"Against The Grain"
"Operation Rescue"
"God Song"
"21st Century Digital Boy"
"Misery And Famine"
"Unacceptable"
"Quality Or Quantity"
"Walk Away"

My favourite song off the album must be 21st century digital boy, it starts with a great guitar tune, and I really like how it starts, but then it changes a bit and gets even better as it goes along. The guitar and drums all the way through this song are fantastic and the chorus is very catchy.

Walk away is another great song, it seems a bit different from their usual style and that's why I like it. Its still very fast, but his singing sounds a little different and the lyrics are fantastic as well as the background singing which is also really nice to hear on this track.

There aren't a lot of tracks on this album that will really blow you away, but there are a few really good ones, and the rest are pretty good too. In fact the whole album is pretty well crafted containing pretty reasonable songs to listen too. The only bad thing is that a lot of the songs are quite short, however this is a little compensated for as we do get 17 of them.

Summary: a good old school punk album
