The die-hards may be dismayed at the shiny, happy textures producer Todd Rundgren has provided for Greg Gaffin’s [sic] stubbornly monochromatic outfit, but the simple truth is the facelift was long overdue. Taken without the sparkling faux-soul and fuzzy fun, these 13 cuts would be little more than the same basic rants Bad Religion has been peddling from the start. They’re well-intended and often thought-provoking harangues, of course - all the more reason to dress them up like Smash Mouth radio singles.
