Not the best
Good cd, Generator and Too Much to Ask are my personal favorite tracks but Suffer, No Control, How Could Hell Be Any Worse, Against The Grain and Process Of Belief are all better than this album.


AMAZING!
Hence some of their songs are trying to disprove gods existence but thats Greg speaking people! Now I dont believe in science which may seem silly to some but really you may think im silly for believing in god. First off just let me say that I am religous but love this band! How can that be possible you ask? Well I recently read an interview with Jay (bass player for BR) and he said that he believes in god and says that everyone is entilted to believe what they want. So it goes both ways. However one thing we can agree on is that this is an awesome BR album that everyone should have. Right now on with a track by track rating:

1. Generator: What an awesome song with great lyrics, guitars and drums. One of their best songs 5/5

2. Too much to ask. Starts off slow but then pummels you into submission with blistering speed and feriocity. Another 5/5

3. No Direction. Very powerful song about people not knowing how to live. 5/5

4. Tommorow. Another song that projects people as a product of the media,government. 5/5

5. Not much to say on this one but still a 5/5

6. Heaven is falling. Short and sharp 4. 5/5

7. Atomic Garden. Funny song but over rated. 3. 5/5

8. The Answer. Believe what you want and if thats good enough for you and you strongly believe then fine. Basically believe in what you want to is the message of this song. 5/5

9. Fertile Crescent. Great song 5/5

10. Chimera. A song about creating a monster through either science or religion or the state or all 3. Great song though. 5/5

11. Only Entertainment. Good song but not their best. 4. 5/5

Then you get the bonus tracks with some other guy playing on drums which is good but its two tracks that youve just heard like 5 minutes ago. Still this is an insanely awesome album. Pick it up you will be thrilled.


great experimental album
the song generator is amazing. definately their darkest album ever released on epitaph records. i also love "tomorrow" and "heaven is falling. " atomic garden is good, but overrated. this is the album where you can start to see a huge changeup from the previous. not only did they gain bobby as drummer, but the album is less and less of the straight forward punk agression found on suffer, no control and against the grain. the lyrics also take a stance on war and human condition instead of the whole scientific and anti-religion ways of the previous albums. this was defiantely to the gulf war of the early 90's as empire strikes first is to taking a stand on today's invasions of iraq.

many people consider this the top bad religion album. i think its really good, but for me it is one of the middle ground ones. i may put it equal with stranger than fiction if im in a "generator" mood.


One of the Greatest
the bonus tracks are excellent, spend the extra cash and get this one over the regular recording. When i bought generator i thought that this was going to be one of their better albums and i was right.


Truly, Truly Amazing
Oh yes, people will tell you Suffer this, and against the Grain that, and in truth those are both excellent albums, but Generator is just better. This is Bad Religion's darkest, bleakest and best album. Highlights include the title track, the sheer brilliance of Heaven is Falling, the blistering Fertile Crescent, and the sneering, cynical pop song "Only Entertainment" which, along with Heaven is Falling, is my favourite track on the album. This band, along with the mighty Social Distortion, revolutionized American punk, and so you owe it to yourself to sit down and check this, their best album, out.
