Bad Religion – “The Dissent of Man”

The thing with The Dissent of Man is that you should already know exactly what to expect of it. After 14 albums, Bad Religion has pretty much got their style perfected – it’s fast, it’s catchy, and it’s mad.

The writing on The Dissent of Man is solid across the board; fans of the band will find a lot of familiar sounding songs to love, such as standouts “Only Rain” and “Someone to Believe”. Of course, there are some missteps, like the awfully cheesy “The Resist Stance.”

Of course, that familiarity means this album isn’t likely to win over anyone that isn’t already a fan of the band, and it’s easy to imagine some people getting tired of the venerable band.

Anyone that considers them self a punk fan should definitely check this album out – the band has it up to stream on their MySpace page after all.  [ END ]
