Bad Religion - "True North": A Review


I remember it was late on a Sunday night and 120 Minutes aired on MTV. Yes, back when that channel actually aired music videos. Little did I know that my life would change that night. First, I saw the video for "Dear God"by XTC and that opened my mind for something that we can talk about later. But later in the night right before bed the video for "Stranger Than Fiction" by Bad Religion came on and I was forever changed.

That being said, Bad Religion just put out their 16th studio album, "True North" and I couldn't be happier with the results.

The album has a wonderful mix of Bd Religion from years past. The fastness of "No Control", the amazing song writing of "Stranger Than Fiction" and the raw power of "The Process of Belief" if you throw in a bit of the Daredevils, Brett's band after he left Bad Religion for a short time. (He sings lead on the track "Dharma and the Bomb")

I've heard rumor that this may be the last time we have the joy of a new Bad Religion record and I hope that they are just that, rumors. I really haven't been able to stop listening to it since I got my hands on it.

Stand out tracks:
"Fuck You"
"Dharma and the Bomb"
"Hello Cruel World"

This is a must have for fans of the band.
