How could Hell be any worse?
I had actually bought this CD once before. Bad Religion has rocked for years and in "How could Hell Be Any Worse?" you get classic Bad Religion at it's best. . . loaned it out, never got it back and had to pick it up again. There are very few CD's in my collection that I can say that much for. If you don't have it, get it, if you do have it. . . buy another one and give it to a friend. . . after all you're only gonna die off in time and How Could Hell Be Any Worse?.


Great punk rock CD!
Their old stuff is great though. I'm not that into bad Religion's new stuff. This album dominates lots of other 80s punk. Bad religion wasn't the best 80s punk band, but they were good. This album is definetly their best. "F**k Armaggedon, this is hell" is the best song. they play that one incredibly at live shows. Well, listen to this while you can, because Bad Religion is never gonna put out anything like this again!.


Great Record, still waiting for the "Into the Unknown" Cd...
Don't know why they don't like it, someone egg them on to reissue it!.


I've got the answer to the title- if this didn't exist.
Each song blows me away, with catchy hooks, stabby claws, and Greg Graffin's voice delivers perfectly, while Brett, Jay Bentley, Pete Finestone and Jay Ziskrout throw out a set of blazingly incredibly fast yet melodic songs. Into the Unknown would have been nice here as well, but I'll just review the compilation that there is here.

And that's just for the first 14 songs.

The version of the 1st EP they have here is great - although now because of the person who said its not the same version makes me want to hear it very badly. The music here pwns teh genre of punk.

After the first EP, the Into the Unknown album SHOULD go here. But it doesn't. Damn self-censorship. Anyway, the Back to the Known, is without Brett Gruewitz, who is being replaced by Greg Hetson. Oddly enough, it sounds a lot like The Gray Race. Except its so much better. . . . The only low point is the version of "Bad Religion" on here -its a bit slow and not as good.

Wrapping it all up is the Public Service compilation. It is three songs, redone from the first EP. The versions on Public Service are better - "Bad Religion" and "Slaves" are even faster and better, while the second version of "Drastic Actions" is kicked up a notch or two.

This album is incredible, fortunately it has all the lyrics, and you might have to listen carefully if you're used to hearing other Bad Religion CDs first - Greg will sound incoherent at first - I still can't quite hear all the lyrics.

Bands should have to kill to achieve an album this great. This has been said somewhere or other on the Bad Religion website (I think), but I have to add that here.
(Disclaimer: Any bands trying to make a CD this great - don't kill anyone please. . . . I don't wanna be an accomplice to a murder here!).


early Bad Religion
The recording quality is poor and it just isn't the same as 'adult' Bad Religion.
