Suffer the best BR album
With a lot of their albums it's usually where 1 or 2 of the tracks are good and the rest are laughably bad but this album has no flaws in my mind. In my opinion Suffer is the best Bad Religion album simply because it is the most consistent. My favorite tracks are 1,2,3,6,10,11 and 13.


Let It Speak For Itself
You Should Hear It If You Haven't. There Is Definitely a Reason There's No Bad Reviews for This Record. Great Punk Rock Not "I Love You Girl" Sort Of Music Not Simplistic, Very Hard Album And Intelligent Like in Such Lines As "I Heard Them Say The Meak Shall Reign On Earth Fantasmal myriads of sane Bucolic Birth,Iv'e Seen The Rapture In A Starving Baby's eyes Inchoate beatitude the ''Lord of The Flies'' So what does it mean when your mind starts to stray? kaleidoscopic Images Of Love On the Way etc. ". No Doubt Worth Every Bit The Decry, meaning its truly Worth more than 5 stars Its Astounding Call me a KissA`` But Simply Put I Highly Reccomend This.


Monumental achievement spawning myriad imitators
) Bad Religion returned to the punk rock scene just when it seemed all the steam had run out of hardcore. After what could be best described as a rocky beginning, (band members quitting albums the first day, breakups, reunions, severely flopping albums, etc. Minor Threat was gone, Bad Brains had become a funk-metal combo, Black Flag was. . . late career Black Flag, and it seemed so-cal punk was destined to be a memory from the early 80's. Written over just a few practices, (in preparation for a reunion show at Gilman Street) Suffer was fast, loud, political, brainy and, most importantly, MELODIC.

After hinting on Into The Unknown and Back To The Known what their melodic capabilities were, Bad Religion released the full force of Greg Graffin's amazing voice (and who could forget the oozin' ahs?) on the world with this album. Beginning with the battle cry of "You Are The Government," ("I make a difference too!") all of side one shakes you with its melody, wakes you with its message and all-but breaks you with its fury.

A range of socio-political topics are covered, with everything from drug addiction ("Forbidden Beat"), to questioning dogmatic thinking ("Best For You"), to America's empirical foreign policies ("Part II The Numbers Game"). Rather than sounding preachy and dated, these songs are universal, timeless and empowering.

The remastered edition available now is worth the re-purchase for anyone who has an older copy of this timeless classic. The first time you hear the back-up vocals behind Greg proclaiming "You Are The Government!" the beautiful production is apparent.

If you don't own this album already, shame on you. Get it now, without question, because when the world stops turning, so will you!.


The masses of humanity will always have to suffer


This album is definitely one of BR best albums. if they keep listening to that mainstream stuff. The songs are very upfront and agressive in your face punk rock songs. My favourite track off this album is 'What Can You Do. ' Gregs vocal style on that song is insane, especially on the second verse. All the songs are very well crafted and are fast, hence the album is quite short but still the quality over quantity approach is present and that makes this an album any fan of punk rock should have.

Ive noticed that with a few of BR albums in my opinion that is that they will kick things off with a few super fast songs and then slow it down a bit pace wise before picking it up again and then slowing it down for the ending songs.

You'll see what i mean with this one from track 9. . . it gets really awesome and the last 5 songs are extremely good.

Basically if you dont have this one then go and get it now. . . also props to the cover art.


bad religion is my religion
anyone who thinks punk rock cannot be intellectual, should check out bad religion, especially this album. this is definently one of my favorite albums of all time. suffer is good from start to finish, even the songs that don't stand out as much at first, grow on you and become some of your favorites. get this album or no control, they are both great. the rest of their albums are actually pretty mixed in my opinion. a few great songs and some not so great ones. against the grain is pretty good and fans of old school punk will like how could hell be any worse. the rest of their stuff, like i said is mixed, but none of it is bad. but suffer and no control, just about an hour of music, are enough in my opinion to name them great. suffer is though, probably their best. if you want thought-provoking,fast,melodic punk, or if you like pennywise you will love this album. .
