Bad Religion... I used to be a fan for a few years, when I discovered the band upon their comeback in '88 with the great album Suffer. But after 4 albums of comfortable repetition with no abrasion at all and lyrics of the same strength, my erection weakened to the point of no return, thus there are only 4 albums on my shelves, and in this post (actually 6 with the vinyls, but do not ask for a rip, I am far too lazy and not excited enough to produce worse-sounding version of this marshmallow-punk rock). I am posting this out of nostalgia (this is from when I met the wife in biblical terms), but I'd rather listen to Snuff or NOFX (and even then...).
This all sounds a little hostile, I don't know why and I am almost sorry since this is the most harmless band in the world. I just played two of these albums and I feel like I lost my time. I can swallow with great joy five hours in a row of ultra repetitive Swedish crust dbeat, but 30 minutes of pop punk makes me itchy. It dilutes my concentration and I cannot work as efficiently. Still, this is not as bad as Green Day.

  1. Sadly, you are correct. The lyrics are intelligent and the music is fast but way too sterile to keep my attention for more than 5 minutes at a time.

    But, hey, the critics love 'em so they must be awesome.

  3. Yeah, it is kind of sad that they are one of the smartest bands lyrically but the albums all just start sounding the same after a while, so you could kind of pick one and toss the rest and be none the worse.

  6. Hey Zer,

    Pop Punk? Yeah Pop Country really sucks too. At least down here Hank III puts the dick back in Dixie and the cunt back in country. That crazed country rebel is better than nostalgia he's the spittin' image of his Grandad. I know I'm out on a limb here Zer but maybe there's some woodchuck DNA in yer hide been waitin' for cuntry? Don't know what I'd do these days hangin' in bullshit New-Trumpland, where Hitlery and King Obama still stink up every corner and backstreet. Hank III is screaming 'cross my farm everyday now and his Assjack band ties a sound knot, only real thing gettin' me by. Punkncuntry seems right to me. Hope this doesn't just waste yer time and space. Thanks for everything you do.

    Hank III -Crazed country rebel

    Well, I was rollin' by myself, went down to Memphis, Tennessee
    and I was lookin' for a guy who had a mullet and no teeth
    and I was trippin' on some acid a latino gave to me
    Hey, I was smokin' morphine 'til it knocked me off my feet
    Then I scored some "H" from my old Uncle Pete
    now I'm startin' to feel like I might've ODed

    On an overdose of drugs, overdose of sin
    I'm gonna live it to the fullest like I'm on ten
    and I love gettin' high - hate bein' low
    and I like to drive my truck down a muddy dirt road
    and I'm workin' real hard, tryin' to get paid
    'cause I'm a crazed country rebel and I'm driftin' state to state

    Somehow I made it up to Texas with a carload full of grass
    and I'm seeing all these pigs who wanna bust my ass
    and I'm always livin' hard - always smokin' weed
    now I'm hangin' out in Texas drinkin' mushroom tea
    and I'm fucked up on the floor - think I know why,
    must've been some of that Boone county moonshine

    and an overdose of drugs, overdose of sin
    I'm gonna live it to the fullest like I'm on ten
    and I love gettin' high - hate bein' low
    and I'm always about stayin' on this road
    and I'm workin' real hard, tryin' to get paid
    'cause I'm a crazed country rebel and I'm driftin' state to state

    I tried to get up off the floor, tried to get myself in line
    'cause the ceiling's talkin' to me, and the pisser's flushin' fire
    That's why they call me 'full throttle' - I like a good time
    it all started at a bar with a friend of mine
    Had to hook me up - he said he'd blow my mind
    I've been up for four days so cut me out another line

    of an overdose of drugs, overdose of sin
    I'm gonna live it to the fullest like I'm on ten
    I love bein' high - hate bein' low
    and I like to drive my truck down a muddy dirt road
    and I'm workin' real hard, tryin to get paid
    'cause I'm a crazed country rebel and I'm driftin state to state

    1. Not forgeting the Hellbilly persona. Hank III is great.

    2. Yes, gotta have that Hillbilly Joker album. If only we had Hank III music in the 70's back on them gravel roads with Black Oak Arkansas in the 8-track player. I literally cut my teeth on Hank Sr songs. In fact the first full album I ever heard was Beyond The Sunset with Hank as Luke the Drifter, a vivid memory from before I started kindergarten in the very early 60's. To have it all come full circle for me at age 57 diggin' on Hank III hellbilly hellfire makes a whole lotta mess more bearable. I didn't think I'd find anything I liked as much as Demented Are Go but even their Tangenital Madness album was country. I guess it shouldn't surprise me that Hank III would wander the scene back from the edge of sci-fi. I think he's got a great perspective in his "Karmageddon" song too. Yep, great future ahead for that Hellbilly, unless the whole damn statist shithouse don't go up in flames, in which case fuck it, sometimes chicken, sometimes feathers. Sometimes it's as good as it gets to be a crazed country rebel.

      Enjoy yer day,
