Anti-rant: This album

Post by Popeye_Card »

Posting the lyrics for The Handshake made me grab my iPod and listen to this album. I love it. Every person in the US should own at least one copy. Preferably 4, in case one gets stolen, one gets borrowed by a "friend" and never returned, and the other gets burned up in a fire.

And if you like one Bad Religion album, you will probably like them all! (except the very early stuff).

PS I like them.

You're joking. You love Bad Religion and you voted for ZZ Top?


I hate you, devil'sadvocatetoannoythrillandtfg_card.

I love them, and have nearly every album on my iPod (missing the lastest one, maybe two--last one I have is Process of Belief). Yeah, the very early stuff is pretty brutal except for "F--- Armageddon, This is Hell".



thrill, I'm all about diversity in my musical portfolio. As I stated many times in the ZZ Top hoopla, I just don't like The Clash (nor Aerosmith--ZZ Top's second round matchup). I merely like ZZ Top. There's probably 40 other bands in that tournament though that I liked much better (and 100+ bands outside of the tournament--like Bad Religion).

I must admit it's a really weak album cover though. They look like dorks. They should have just put the guy from the back on the front.

Best, yet most disturbing punk album cover ever:

Though the LP version of the album was even more disturbing:

Forgot about Family Man. Yes, quite disturbing.

I don't know. I think the dork look adds authenticity.

They're pretty authentic dorks.
Graffin attended El Camino Real High School, then double-majored in anthropology and geology as an undergraduate at the University of California, Los Angeles. He went on to earn a master's degree in geology from UCLA and received his Ph.D. from Cornell University. The Ph.D. thesis was officially a Zoology Ph.D. thesis, supervised by William B. Provine at Cornell University. The thesis was entitled "Monism, Atheism and the Naturalist Worldview: Perspectives from Evolutionary Biology". It is described as being essentially an evolutionary biology Ph.D. but having also relevance to history and philosophy of science.

it's funny. I've always found their lyrics to be a little simplistic.
