@@benchampion3768 idk, this sounds a lot like 80s Genesis. Obviously not 70s Genesis if that’s what you were thinking about.

[@armaturetattoo5169]

As a teenager there was a legend about bad Religion, that they recorded a weird ass prog rock synth album sometime in the 80s after how could hell be any worse and before their first real epitaph punk rock record “suffer”. It was always said to be terrible and unlistenable. I never met anyone that owned it. I always wanted to hear it. Today I finally looked it up on you tube and I must say it’s a fucking great album!

[@GLASSB182]

Was that the rumor around the late '80s or '90s?

[@PaunchyChux]

so funny that this was their sophomore album, when suffer blew everyone away (rightfully) and this got swept under the rug... reading their biography now and Brett Gurewitz did a ritualistic burning of all of the returned vinyls. somebody has gold in their attic!

[@jowlorenz9555]

@@PaunchyChux Ha --- i thought this was their attempt ironic parody after way too many of their earlier typical punk stuff ! Punk is all about keeping it stupid simple .

[@Ninterd2]

In Anarchy Evolution, Greg mentions this era. They made the album at a time when punks became disgustingly violent as a kind of response that Bad Religion didn't want to be part of that. At least that's what I remember from reading it. Basically a "fuck punk" album.

[@ericmusch8325]

And while I am listening to this right now it sounds like sophomoric prog in a good stupid way ...which so far me is awesome 👍😎 Punk Prog ?...I'll take that for a dollar 🤪👍😜or burn this CD later when I get a chance

[@SonataFanatica]

I absolutely LOVE this album! I could never understand how people hated it. Especially nowadays with Greg releasing traditional country music, the band should finally accept it and re-release it as a CD.

I concur!

[@ninjaskeleton6140]

It would be interesting to see how many listens this album would get per month if it were put on spotify, I think that would give a good indication of what their fans really think of this album overall. Personally, I don’t mind it. It’s certainly not as bad as it’s made out to be, especially when you consider their age at the time. Just a bunch of kids messing around, experimenting with music and developing their song-writing skills.

[@vonclohk507]

[@jeffreyweinberg3979]

Good observation!

[@TOMGUIDO66]

The drummer on this album, Davy Goldman, was the music counselor at my summer camp in 1983, when I was only fourteen. Me and my punk rock pal would interrupt camp gatherings and sing-a-longs with our own loud singing of songs from the 1st Bad Religion LP. Davy was sort of embarrassed and tried to tell us that this album was "different" (which it is!). I didn't get it at the time, but yeah, it is new wave / beach punk / power pop / prog / metal...with that cool voice and guitar. Thanks!

[@jowlorenz9555]

Kinda like that hippy camp counselor, who when trying to teach how to pitch a tent, told beavis to "stick it in the hole" .

[@magnumpineapple277]

I know tons of punks hate this record because of its progressive rock sound, but since I love progressive rock more than any other genre, I absolutely love this record. Songs have a good dance tune to them, and it sounds like a Yes or Genesis album. Fantastic work, I don't see how it can be hated.

[@justshootemgaming5761]

Because people are narrow minded.

[@magnumpineapple277]

***** That's true. I want to see people who can be interested in way more than just one genre instead of sticking to one all the time.

[@AK99581]

MagnumPineapple27 It doesn't really sound like Yes or Genesis at all, those two bands music was far more intricate and weird with less emphasis on hard rock compared to anything on this album. This sounds more AOR like Boston, Styx, Journey, or Foreigner...something more along those lines.

[@jorgehodgson6553]

I used to hated it when I was young... nowadays I'm 40 and this album takes more sense for me, it tooks me to the 80's... I feel like I'm a kid again, that's a great feeling

Where my No Substance gang at?

[@junkevil]

Meh, I've always loved this album as part of their collected work. I certainly enjoy it more than any post Process of Belief album until True North. As an old punk rocker, I think thou dost protest too much, this album is weird, either you got it or you didn't. I got it and loved it and when I heard others ostracise me for that belief I only liked it more. Like I was justified because they didn't get it, but I wasn't really because all music is subjective. You can play all of these songs in a punk style and get everyone to love them, but you lose the soul of this album when you do. It's a weird album and only the weirdos truly love it, but that's something. You fucking weirdo.

ive been a fan since the arly 90's and only just come accross it but i think it is horrible... not the bad religion i grew up listening to.

[@FirstMultitude]

With all due respect, it has been released again, though to be fair, only on vinyl as part of the Bad Religion LP box set released in 2010. All those internet downloads come from analog sources more or less, as it has never been officially released on CD.

[@h.e.finleyjr.8463]

I'm an old punk... this IS a great album. Open your minds to different music. I have been bitten by the jazz bug. Good music is everywhere. So what if this isn't a hardcore record, it's a great record....

[@stephenl6758]

I'm a lifelong BR fan, and a huge music fan overall (going from the Platters to Bad Religion to Cardi B). Since first getting my hands on a cassette of this, I always wish they would go back and have another take at recording this. Some songs are really good as is, but a few could use a little cleanup. I have wondered if that was because it was such a big departure and they were really at the early stages of honing their core sound.

[@jowlorenz9555]

Punk rock bands best progress or they will become cheezy parody clones of themselves like too many classic rockers do...

[@tomdelon7186]

As long time fan from the Suffer days. I find this album extremely interesting. Into the unknown is a perfect title for the record and while the production is lackluster, i bet if they had more time to craft the sound/produce. Might have been able to pull off a modern rock record.

[@creepylavalamp]

In 1993 I was 19 and just moved to California. I was hitch hiking and the guy who picked me up was playing Suffer. I was hooked!! BR has been one of my favorite bands ever since. I still listen to them constantly and I go see them every time they play in the NJ/NY area. It is mid January 2020 and just found out that this album exists!!! WTF?!? I'm totally blown away!!! How did I not know about this??? But I am LOVING IT!!!

[@Bacon7666]

The punk scene is where freedom is preached, but when it comes to someone trying to do things their way is where that freedom ends. This proves that most punks are just sheeple. You can piss them off really quick by being yourself and not the version that they draw what is like to be yourself. Not just Bad religion proved this point, but many other bands that just were loved by punks and all of a sudden they were called sell outs because they had different ideas. With this on sight I have to agree with the line "Punk's not dead it just deserves to die"

[@SirJoelsuf1]

Word. Bad Religion made a song about that very observation called "No Direction." It's on Generator. The last line in it LITERALLY says: "I don't believe in self-important folks who preach/no Bad Religion song can make your life complete/Prepare for rejection, you'll get no direction from me." This is exactly why Bad Religion is one of my favorite bands but I detest the Punk "scene." Bad Religion KNOWS that the stuff their lyrics are just their dumb opinions on the world. They've known that for a VERY long time. The Punk scene? No different than the tradcon Fundamentalists they claim to dislike. If you don't agree with 100% of their dumb opinions, then your dumb opinion is "a threat." I'm good on all that nonsense, I'll think for myself. George Carlin said it best: The ONLY thing Americans are good at is waging war on stuff. No matter who you are. Punk scene is no different. Even HIPPIES were warlike.

[@dartajax]

I wish this album was available. My roommate found it for $3.95 at Recycled Records in Redondo Beach, CA in 1986. I wish I had found it first. This is from the vinyl and it sounds a little off center or warped. You have to understand the influence of the Damned on these bands. Check the Vandals or TSOL (Beneath the Shadows) and you can see how this fits in with the other psych goth punk stuff.

[@azraeldarkangel1983]

Most people I know feels disdain for this album, even BR is known to have said they prefer "forget about this album", but I think in its differences from other BR albums is its greatness: synthetizers, not-so-punk sound... I think there are great themes, and I love it as much as almost all the other albums (even those from the Sony period, that I love as well). THANKS BR!!!

If you were listening to this 20 years ago that is something special. This album came out 30 years and ago it was a huge flop. No punks wanted to admit they liked it and no one into prog rock had every heard of Bad Religion. I bought the first week it came out as I had listened to their first album every day, for hours a day, for two years before ITU.

I absolutely love this album. I never understood the hate by critics and fans, nor the Band disowning this record and never championing this album live. It was ahead of its time and as much as they wanted to ditch the keys and acoustic guitars on future albums, I found that without this album and their first record “how can hell be any worse” they wouldn’t have the skate/pop punk sound they would later be known for. I think BR should reissue this and own that they made this album. This is more punk than the bands of the time regurgitating the same songs and sounds over and over, and all the sound alike bands.

[@rickcox3216]

The first song reminds me of a cross between Van Halen and Bad Religion. I'm a HUGE fan of the band and proud to call some of them personal friends. I was talking to Jay and Greg after a show one day and asked them where I could hear this album (back in 1996ish) and they were totally embarrassed they had ever released this. Now that I'm hearing it, I get it. But it's still part of their history.... and for that, I think it's awesome.

They were ambitious in their early years. I always enjoyed hearing hardcore bands with a hint of striving toward a bigger and more complex style. This was a huge departure at the time that may have been unrecognizable but now it undeniably sounds like Bad Religion. Past the dated synthesizers you can hear the evolution of what they would become and this album as a whole is better than some of the albums of their later years.

A very underrated album (to the extent that it doesn’t exist to alot of ‘fans” ) created by one of the greatest at being one of the worlds best, underrated band. #theyaintskatepunk.

[@rominablanco319]

Great Album👏👏👏👏👏🤘💟

[@hehexd1]

All I can say is this album is something else.

[@bluekitten1032]

Omg..I love this album. I am sooo happy that someone downloaded this album. I couldn't find it since Bad Religion didn't re-release this album. I don't know if its true, but I was told that they were not happy with this album. I find it to be AWESOME!!!

[@MrSebischannel]

This is the best thing I have ever heard in my entire life 😂👍🏻

[@Hardlink360]

Amazing album

[@cybererik1]

I remember when I first heard this album and I was bummed thinking that BR somehow ripped off their fans. But, in retrospect listening to this album years later it's pretty damn genius.

[@daanpauwels2280]

This is my fav Bad Religion album!! Or maybe How Could Hell Be Any Worse or Suffer, but all BR album sound kinda alike... I like the fact that this one doesn't AND still rocks! It's a shame that the band themselfs hate it so much...

[@guyfauks2576]

@Christopher Bingham or maybe just maybe. They didnt like it either

[@guyfauks2576]

@Christopher Bingham or maybe they realised cheesy synths uninteresting lyrics and using the exact same delivery for your space themed prog rock album wasnt very smart. This is not a pinkerton this is a father of all

[@JohnDoe-le7ml]

@@guyfauks2576 uninteresting lyrics? The lyrics are about substance abuse that was taking place in the band. What do you think "Chasing the Wild Goose" means? Lyrically it reads like a guy who gave up everything just to get drunk. Billy Gnosis is literally a story about Brett Gurewitz's drug use with Billy Gnosis being the alter-ego that he would assume. Sure, not every song is a banger, but you can say that about most BR albums or even just albums in general. Yes, the spacey prog rock sound is very dated even by 80s standards, but listen to the more recent versions of Gnosis and Dichotomy in their shows from the 2010's that aren't buried in synths, and those songs really don't seem out of place at all.

Love this album it’s pretty rad. My brother would play this album all the time when our parents would leave and he would crank it. Very underrated

[@joeboyer2435]

All these views, all these likes, all these comments and no one is showing any love for Losing Generation, which is the best track on the album. So sad this hasn't ever played live, it would kick ass with their modern sound. Imagine a shredding Gurewitz guitar solo at 27:50! Special mention to The Dichotomy, the second best song on the album, but that's already got a lot of love.

Dummy- " ya know these albums are sounding the same lately JNaz- " have you heard the old into the unknown " Dummy- " oh what the hell, I don't like it , it sounds too different" JNaz- shaking my head

[@ToniLovesSkateboarding]

Anyone else came to check this after it was mentioned in the BR book? I had no idea this existed and I don't know how to feel about it yet xD

[@tylerbalser9743]

Yup! Honestly it's not as bad as I imagined it was gonna be but I'm also keen to most music styling. Hearing Greg actually singing like he does post "How Could Hell be Any Worse" is fantastic!

[@chriscrim751]

Yep. Still digesting it....the recording is odd ....flanging in and out of tune....not horrible, but not great

[@crystalwilson3466]

Have always loved Bad Religion n this album

[@TwilightCalzone]

This is one big, pleasant surprise. I can understand the synth criticisms, but the hooks, melodies, and guitars are still intact. Can't go wrong with old school, harder edged pop rock.

[@MrGangstabitch99]

Best BR album hands down.

[@LeoJackson98]

True

[@dudleymorris2337]

Greg and Brett have got to get over themselves and give this album a proper reissue.

[@swinginmad]

Dudley Morris I would sign that letter. Much better than the Christmas album easy.

[@shitlicker2999]

No way. How Could Hell be any Worse is the best ever

[@zessej36]

Punk is an attitude.

[@thesite]

damn straight

[@user-le5xl3vf2f]

And a music genre, this isnt punk

[@Aegis._]

I completely agree with you, Jesse Zellmer

[@SwineBrothers]

it's a music genre. punk hasn't been an attitude for decades. if it were, bad religion would no longer be punk...

[@SonataFanatica]

Simply AWESOME album! Everyone who's bashing this release is just a sad, narrow-minded person who's bound to miss out on plenty of great stuff!

[@Xallisto1]

This was the album that got me into BR so it will always have a place in my heart.
