Bad Religion's return to Epitaph saw them reunite with the record label's founder and their former guitarist Brett Gurewitz, and the music corresponds with a very satisfying return to form. The band's now customary steady and melodic style is still predominant, but balanced out by some shorter, faster punk rock songs, the likes of which haven't been seen for a number of years, while others continue to experiment with different styles to great effect. Although Gurewitz's departure wasn't the crippling blow that some may have perceived it, it's notable that this is their finest album since his last appearance back on 'Stranger Than Fiction.' The only real reason ...  Read the complete review

This was Bad Relgions 12th album and first in 5 years with Brett Gurewitz (known as Mr Brett) back in the band and back on song writing duties (although he did write one track, believe it, in the previous album). The bad also resigned with Epitaph records - owned by Gurewitz, for the album.  Having Mr Brett back in the album signalled a return to form for the band.
