30 Years. 15 Albums. It sounds insane but Bad Religion is still going at it. And what’s even better… “The Dissent Of Man” is another kickass album that even trumps the last two albums and one that goes back to their heydays.
They kick things off in high gear with the opening combo that is “The Day That The Earth Stalled” and “Only Rain”. As you work your way further down the tracklisting you’ll find Bad Religion with their foot on the gas on even more occasions (“Meeting Of The Minds”, “Avalon”). But they’ll just as well slow things down though here and there. Like on “Won’t Somebody” which reminded me of Social D. All the while Greg Gaffin is still stringing lyrics together with words that sometimes have more than three syllables. You heard that right. That’s pretty much the same amount of chords they’ve been using all these years to play their songs.
It’s the combination of great hooks, vocal harmonies, energy, intelligent lyrics and 30 years of experience that makes “The Dissent Of Man” another must. It also accounts for the fact why Bad Religion still is one of the biggest and best punkrock bands on the planet.
Score: 8.5 out of 10
