Recipe for Hate

This was some decent rock punk music. Definitely not as hardcore as some of their other albums or other punk bands but that’s what made this album more enjoyable. Less thrash and more technique in the instrumentals always makes me enjoy the punk sound more. this was decent but not great. 6.2/10

Didnt hate. Good solid early 90s punk

Ok

Very average

This album cover is meta-1993. Song one finishes...song two starts...with the same tempo and feel. Eh I get nothing out of this / feel nothing. Rote high-tempo punk-ish vibes with a non-abrasive voice is all ok, but it ended and I don't remember anything. 4/10 2 stars IMO: Belonged in the book? No.

Why this Bad Religion record instead of their '80s punk records? The band pretty well peaked with No Control so I would've gone with that. Still highly political in a vaguely anti-establishment sense, but slowed down compared to their previous works. I thought skate punk was supposed to be more energetic than this? By this point, Lagwagon and the Offspring were the new torchbearers for the genre as Bad Religion started to show their age a good decade into their career. At this point they would've benefited from some innovation and reimagining their sound rather than continuing to make songs like they did in the '80s but slower. I think there's some interesting stuff on All Good Soldiers with more angular guitars that's reminiscent of the '90s post-hardcore at the time, but they never fully lean into it. Seemingly only picks up in the back half, but by that point I'm not really sold on what they're doing. It's a bummer. CONTENDER FOR THE LIST: No Control is a better pick. Even then, there's enough punk on the list as is.

Pink-lite

Nah mate. Sorry.

Meh..

DNF

I don't understand how this is so boring and predictable.

This created my own recipe for hate. Towards this album.

Forgettable.
