Yup it was for you (as a joke), i got it that you had the cd but wanted to play the game to hear it, don't know why:P. In 2004 those you said plus generator and how could hell got remastered, and i got the remasted ones. But many people say the old ones sounded better. A thing about overcompression making albums losing in sound quality and being too loud. In those i can't find it a lot, but definately New Maps of Hell heavily suffers from that, the only realy bad thing about it i can find thought.

newdarkages: if that comment was to me, i ended up getting the cd eventually :D that song alone was enough to buy stranger than fiction. and about 2004 no control, i think it was re-mastered, along with suffer and against the grain, although im not too sure. recipe for hate needs remastering

It got re-released in 2004. Last.fm is confused.

i never got punkorama 1, i remember buying number 2 and 5 about 8 or 9 years ago, just sitting with my headphones on in the car and thinking it was awesome. Physical Fatness was the first comp i bought that introduced me to melodic punk. it was only when i bought crazy taxi for ps2 that confirmed bad religion to me though. id get the top score on that game to get the final credits so i could hear Inner Logic again :D

I was more of a "Give 'em the Boot" teen, ha. I'm gonna have to check out some punkorama CDs.

NewDarkAges escreveu:
Punkorama 1 was even better. Vol2 was great too. Then the next one i have is 6, not bad but not that good. And the the following ones get kinda weaker with each new one.

Yeah, punkorama 2 really opened my eyes (and ears) to melodic US punk such as BR, NOFX, Pulley, the 'Wise, Rancid. I bought Fat Wreck's Survival of the Fattest around the same time - the best compilation i've ever heard.

It's good you did, BR's amazing. I think I discovered them while surfing in the internet. Someone had posted a link to their Punk Rock Song video and I watched it because I was bored. I remember thinking something like 'why is this dude wearing that ugly red sweater?' Then I delved deeper, listened to their other songs and found out that they had great lyrics. Have been a fan ever since.

I seriously can't remember how I became a fan. I know that I bought Stranger Than Fiction first in some shop. But not because of "Infected" (I had never heard that song before) or "21st Century Digital Boy" (again, had never heard it before.) ...uhhh..... I'm really trying to think now why I bought that album... Well, whatever reason, I'm glad I did. Next album I bought was No Control and that's what really got me interested in the band.

I became a fan because when I was a little kid in the early 90s (5-10), my then-teenage sister happened to have good taste in music and listened to Bad Religion all the time. I'm thankful for that everyday. So Recipe for Hate will always have a special place for me in that way, but since then Against the Grain has become my other top favorite. I think all the albums are solid, though, including Into the Unknown in its own right. It's too bad though, when I was an early teen, their post-Recipe albums were too sophisticated for me to get. I was kind of a dumb teen.

It played a part in their semi-success if we can call it that (in fact the are one of the most successful punk bands, and in the very few first if we exclude those with pop lyrics/direction) but they also had many hit songs in the 90s and 00s (not big hits ofc). In Greece most that know them are from Digital Boy. Also Broken was the known song here when TPOB came out, while it seems in most countries it was Sorrow. Broken Radio plays back then got me into BR.

Sadly, if it weren't for the Crazy Taxi and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 games, Bad Religion would be even less well known than they are now. Most people that I know that have heard of BR have only heard of them from those two video games.

NewDarkAges escreveu:
Agreed, their name and message plus the difficult vocabulary don't fit well for most people (sad think, mostly for those people, and mostly not for missing BR, but for being closeminded, having mass mentality etc). Still there's bands with some of those characteristics that have more success. For example Rage Against The Machine, Offspring (early) and some "evil" metal bands. I'd say it's a mix of these things, the comercial or not direction in sounds, the timing and promotion that decide bands' level of success.

KatiOlen escreveu:
They do deserve more recognition but they'll never get it because many people just don't like the messages their songs convey. Not to speak of their not-mass-appealing name. Also, I've noticed that for many people their songs are just too hard to comprehend; masses want lyrics to be easy to understand written in simple language. And I agree, Rolemodels is kind of bland but if they want to improve, they've still got time (and potential) for it.

NewDarkAges escreveu:
How could hell and Against the Grain are amazing imo too. I also pref New Dark Ages to Honest Goodbye, but the second had a great chance on mainstream success. Though I agree that it's better for them to have the fans that do love them for what they are and not for some brainwashing radio and tv play, but also think they deserve much more compared to most bands out there. I've listened to Rolemodels, Graham sounds like early Greg, and they have a nice oldschool sound, but imo their songs lack that something special early BR songs had. Like Politics, Slaves and Drastic Actions.

Rogar escreveu:
It makes me sad to see Against the Grain so low on the top albums. That's one of their best, IMO.

KatiOlen escreveu:
Well, I was talking in general and my opinion is solely based on my own experiences, though in a way it is also confirmed by last.fm statistics. But I must admit that NewDarkAges worded it better, STF's less underrated. But BR being underrated in general doesn't bother me, they have their own fan base and people love their music, and imo that's what it's all about. Btw, I was wondering if anyone has listened to The Rolemodels? It's featuring Graffin's son Graham as the lead singer and he sounds a _lot_ like his father.

Spark_and_Spark escreveu:
It's kinda strange how people say stuff like "How Could Hell Be Any Worse is their best album" yet all the songs from that album only have about 2 shouts each. I think you're right about BR being underrated in general. (Well, Last.fm-wise at least.) Anyway, I just got a copy of 'Hell' yesterday and I've already listened to it about 8 times. I love it! Such an old school punk sound. Should of bought it ages ago..
-
NewDarkAges escreveu:
I wouldn't say STF is overrated, nor any other BR album. It's just less underrated, as BR are heavily underrated overall, and other albums more than STF. But i think they kinda choose this low profile, at least nowadays. Brain has said he doesn't want more publicity, and they have cancelled the Honest Goodbye single. It's not one of the best BR songs or even in the New Maps album, but it could easily be a hit the way it sounds.

Well that's good timing, 'cause my copy of The Process of Belief just arrived in the post! Looking forward to hearing it. (How Could Hell Be Any Worse? is on it's way!)

KatiOlen escreveu:
I didn't say it wasn't a good album. I just think it's a tad overrated, but it still contains some very awesome songs. Spark_and_Spark, you should listen to How Could Hell Be Any Worse? and The Process of Belief, which, in my opinion, are also very good. (No Control stays my favourite, though.)
-
Spark_and_Spark escreveu:
Yep, just because it's the most popular (possibly unfairly so) doesn't stop it being an amazing album! I think if I could choose the top 4 albums on Last.fm, I'd order them... #1 Against the Grain - #2 Suffer - #3 No Control - #4... Hmm, not sure about 4th place. I haven't heard all their albums yet so my opinion isn't very fair.

STF may well be a little overrated, but it is a brilliant album nonetheless. I loved it.

@Rancido: it definitely had some good songs, plus I loved the acoustic tracks, but in my opinion it's not underrated.. I rather see STF as overrated.

Haha, I just checked my weekly charts for last week. "Bad Religion - 1,004 plays" ...I never thought I could listen to one band over a thousand times in a week. I do love me some Bad Religion.

It's quite strange that I've been a Bad Religion fan for a few years now yet I've never listened to The Process of Belief or How Could Hell Be Any Worse? before. It's just that every time I've had money to spend on CDs I forget about them. I'm planning to buy them (along with Recipe for Hate) next time I get paid.

Against the Grain is my favorite album by Bad Religion, with No Control and the Process of Belief in a close second. Against the grain has the original ( and i believe much better) version of 21st Century Digital boy, Anesthesia, Faith Alone..Many classics....in fact, the only song I don't like that much is the eponymous track

To Spark_and_Spark: "News From The Front" and "Markovian Process" were first featured on STF! But only on the European and Japanese versions, I believe....They were not included on the US version.
