I guess my favorite Brett tune will always be the first BR song I ever heard, 21st Century (Digital Boy), if only because of nostalgia (even though it's not THAT long ago). Otherwise, I can't possibly decide. (How can you choose between I Want To Conquer The World, Generator, The Defense and a bazillion other songs? Same thing with Greg.)

The words of 'Epiphany' are one of my favorites, I just don?t like the tune.

its very dramatic and grandiose. i think the lyrics fit the epic tone of the song.

I love all of Epiphany except the bridge part (If it's real for me do I have to prove it to you...) It just doesn't seem to fit the rest of the song, and there's an intangable thing about it that makes it seem very cheesy.

I was dissapointed that the rest of the album didnt sound like the opening track supersonic which was awesome - It was fast and hard and melodic - Shattered Faith was another cool song and I dont think it sounds anything like the Kids arent alrigh by Offspring. TESF is probably my least favourite album now. Its got too much of the fast beat, but slow vocals combination. This worked on Generator and Cease, but not on the songs here. GO BACK TO PLAYING FAST AND HARD!!

Never heard The Kids Aren't Alright, but I truly wish Who We Are would've made it on the album. It's among my favorites on TPoB.

Playing fast and hard is incredibly limiting from a musical perspective. The heaviest bands out there (Sunn))O or w/e, Isis, Neurosis) all play slow.

No not Offspring. That song has always reminded me of Millencolin.

If you listen to The Kids Aren't Alright and know a bit about music the melody, beat, and chord changes are all similar.

But of course it sounds like The Kids Aren't Alright, now that I listen to it.
Shattered Faith is still the Bad Religion song that most reminds me of Millencolin.

Ever wonder about whether that was done intentionally? It crossed my mind after i remembered reading about someone who said that BR ripped off the Offspring, and they replied "yeah we went to all their shows in the early 80s and stole everything" or something to that effect. Be funny if it was intentional.

Rumor has it that Offspring ripped off Billy Gnosis, with uh, She's Got Issues I think?

Yep. I think Jay said in the podcast interview that he nearly refused to record it 'cause it sounded so much like Offspring's TKAA.
