Music reviews of The Dissent of Man
Music Review: Not all Bad Religion songs can make your life complete.
Rating: 5 Stars
Another great album and any fan should get it - though, it will take a few times through to get what you want out of it. new listeners will enjoy it, then listen to their older stuff and love it as-well.
Most of the songs are slower(rock/alternative/odd) than the bands last few releases, but still rocking. a couple are old school fast. some are out of the ordinary: meaning the singing and lyrics are odd (and if you pay attention in their Live DVDBad Religion - Live at the Palladium you know lyrics are the main part of BR- according to Greg. and some of them, here, anger me).
Song number and name - Grade - then Speed/Style and Opinion on each song- take from it what you will. They are my favorite band and i expect a lot from them because they are that good and that talented. i've been a fan since i was 10- Stranger Than Fiction years...so others who have liked them longer might disagree, but for the past several years of listening- this is what i gather:
1. The Day That the Earth Stalled - grade: D - fast. i hate it. horrible, silly lyrics. child like rhymes. horrible opener. maybe a few albums before Suffer had more worthless openers. wouldn't mind being late to the show if they open with this.
2. Only Rain - grade: A+ - fast but with smooth singing. amazing. one of the best songs on the album. can't wait to hear this live. i love everything about it: music, lyrics, the way words are pronounced.
3. The Resist Stance - grade: A+ - fast. another great song. perfect BR: great lyrics, wonderful tone, true to the core.
4. Won't Somebody - grade: A - slow. another great song. i liked the acoustic version from their last album New Maps of Hell (Deluxe Version), this is nice too.
5. The Devil in Stitches - grade: A - a new BR sound. well not new, but more rocking than punk-rock or slow "struck a nerve" Recipe for Hate -rock. make sense? no? ok just listen to it. it's wonderful. odd lyrics, but great Brett work.
6. Pride and the Pallor - grade: F - odd rock. papa, i hate this damn song. crap lyrics, terrible. they should never play this song ever. better songs have been found on No Substance and The New America. wouldn't make sense if they play this song live and not songs like In So Many Ways or Don't Sell Me Short...P&P is one of the worst songs i've ever heard.
7. Wrong Way Kids - grade: B+ - fast with catchy nice soothing singing, but why can't you just say KIDS instead of "keeeds" jeeze. that little change would make this song an A rather than B+. it has grown on me. (reminds me of a song from More Betterness by No Use for a Name - this is NOT a good thing, but Graffins voice makes it work). would be a nice song to close with - audience would all "whoa ooh!" (closing with Process of Belief 's Sorrow should come to an end.)
8. Meeting of the Minds - grade: B+ - fast singing and music. great song. true Bad Religion since the Brooks entrance. only down side: last set of lyrics. child written lyrics - "Today on my ride I witnessed a guy complaining about how a so-and-so had lied. No longer will
the market decide what the government should provide." - WHAT!? WHY?!. rest of the song is superb.
9. Someone to Believe - grade: B- - odd fast. not original Bad Religion. not that great of a song but way better than Pride and Pallor. sounds like a B-side from Gray Race/No Substance days (i do really like No Substance- it might not come out that way in this review, but it's true).
10. Avalon - grade: A+ - fast but with soothing singing. an amazingly great song. one that i can't see ever getting sick of. rocky, leaning towards punkness but more firm rock than anything else(lyric-wise). (opening reminds me of Pearl Jam I Got Id...i think, maybe. no. i don't know).
11. Cyanide - grade: A- - slower. not your typical BR. a rock/alternative song. if this got air-play people might say they sold out. i like it. it's an interesting song. (reminds me of a lot of the late 90's early 2000's alternative rock bands - Bringing Down the Horse by the Wallflowers comes to mind for some reason).
12. Turn Your Back On Me - grade: B+ - alternative/rock. not a great song but it is pretty damn good. again, more alternative style. not as great as 2, 3, 5, and 10 but better than 1 and 6.
13. Ad Hominem - grade: D- - pop-rock. we accepted rapping in Let Them Eat War - Empire Strikes First, but this is ridiculous. silly lyrics, nice music, but the singing is completely worthless. if they play this live then that is my cue to get beat up in the mosh pit...actually i doubt anyone will mosh to this -rather than raid the stage to take the mic away from Greg. Horrible! (sounds like Red Hot Chili Peppers - not good for BR - dislike- but not as much as Pride and Pallor.
14. Where The Fun Is - grade: B- - slow rock. reminds me of Infected(music-wise)and The Empire Strikes First (singing style). not bad, but not one of their goodies. the fun is not in this song but i guess I'll stick around. (sorry for the lame comments).
15. I Won't Say Anything - grade: A+ - slow. amazing slow Brett/Greg genius. this is one of my other favorites. i love it. nice and slow, but great BR lyrics and new music.
16. Finite - grade: A - slow, more rock/alternative. another amazing slow song. its the new BR style which fits this album, compared to the rest. sounds like something i have heard before, but it doesn't anger me. i like it. :)
[[[...] ]]
that is it, but this is just me throwing words down on how i take this album(after listening to it from myspace for a week (day in and day out) and getting the pre-ordered CD early from the bands distributor). this song could easily been a Generator type release - only 11 songs and it would have been an instant classic.
