Shattered LPs: Bad Religion "Dissent of Man"

Finally settled on a music review name. Shattered LPs seemed fitting to coincide with Severed Thumbs so if you don't like it that's your fault. So, thirty years ago a couple punk kids from the LA Suburbs got together and became one of the most successful and prolific Punk Bands, that band is Bad Religion.

Their most recent (and fifteenth) offering is "Dissent of Man" and what can I say? They haven't lost it at all, it's everything one would expect from Doctor Greg Graffin (who apparently is a Life Science Professor at UCLA) and his crew. Quite frankly I can put this album right next to Stranger Than Fiction, Generator, No Control or any of their other classic albums and it snugly fits in there. The question is though, if a group shows no growth in thirty years does that go with or against them? That question can be discussed in the comments, as for me I have to go with my nostalgia muscles on this one. Full Price
