Almost half way done recording the new album, Jay was interviewed by RoomThirteen; an "online rock metal alternative music magazine".
Check it out right here: http://www.roomthirteen.com/features/765/Bad_Religion_interview.html
Some of the highlights from this interview are:
- "We had all these shows in the House of Blues in Los Angeles and Santiago and we were thinking about live streaming some of the shows. The work that went into that was a little more than we wanted to do, so we were like: “F**k that, that’s too much work. We could just stick microphones in front of everything and record it.”"
- "We’re throwing around album titles and visual ideas. It’s kind of how we’ve been making things for thirty years. Probably at the very last minute, we’ll come up with an album title and some photograph, sequence the record and it will come out."
- About the new album: "Right now, one of the things that I can tell you is it’s f**king fast. [Laughs] I’m not saying it’s all fast, but the fast songs are some of the fastest we’ve ever done. It’s like: “This is fun.”"
- "In a weird way, I’ve heard Greg and Brett both saying that if our last three records were the ‘Suffer’, ‘No Control’ and ‘Against the Grain’ of the 2000s, then this would be ‘Recipe for Hate’. I said, “You’re leaving ‘Generator’ out” and Brett said, “Yeah but that’s intentional.” Then, listening to the material, it sort of is ‘Generator’ mixed in with ‘Recipe for Hate’. There’s gonna be a lot of stuff that’s gonna surprise people on this record."

Is it just me, or does the intro of The Resist Stance remind you of Black Sabbath? Nice to finally hear Won't Somebody with the complete band, although as an excellent song it's great acoustic as well..

"Broken" is especially a pure hardcore song, usually I listen to Black Flag and stuff but Broken puts their songs to shame :p I love the song "Broken" though. On a different note, maybe I'm biased but I would take Suffer any day over Process. Process was a very important record though and I could even make comparisons to Suffer as to what it meant history-wise for the band. ATG is my favorite and though I have a deep love for NMOH, it doesn't quite surpass ATG on my list. But it may well be #2 or 3 (I'm a Gray Race fanboy). I have never been truly disappointed with a BR album, though like anyone I have my favorites. There is a reason these guys are my favorite band - they make great music no matter what direction they go. I love that they can have a record like Empire (which isn't my fav) with a song like Sinister Rouge and then an epic song like To Another Abyss. I really like fast little songs like Can't Stop It. Hoping for one like that on the new record. Can't wait to hear it. |

Yeah, definitely opinion man. I feel Empire was one of their best efforts. It's not pure hardcore the way that Process is, but it really shows their songwriting ability and shows what these guys were capable of. I agree with the idea that Process, Empire & New Maps are the new Holy Trinity (obviously not AS 'Holy', but at least a new 'Awesome Trinity'). New Maps is the one that doesn't come close to living up to ATG in that respect though. (obviously MY opinion! ) :) |

p.s.: I would suggest that to insinuate that The empire strikes first even remotely fits in the holy trinity of Suffer, No control and Against the grain (to me) is quite insulting to those albums, and I think it's positively, objectively not correct. Although Process and New maps does (I actually even consider both better than their holy trinity equivalents). To me it has always been perfectly evident (and I feel one could easily make an objective case) that Empire IS the modern Recipe for hate (only worse, but that's opnion again).

Damn, now I'm torn again (as I was before reading this). First I was like, yayyyyy, it's "fucking fast", which is a really positive sign. Then I was like, noooo, they stressed the recipe for hate comparison again... they just don't go together, though! RFH is a slow album! It was the slowest BR had ever done in its time. So what is Jay saying? It's gonna be a fast but expermental album? We'll see...

Sounds really interesting. I really liked Resist Stance and I know they wouldn't give us the strongest songs off the album now. I can't wait!

"Anuuther innerview with Jaay," the headline muttered.

Great news:). I didn't consider won't somebody or ressist stance that special. Same happend with h & m and requiem before NMOH was released and it turned out great though, and now fast & surprising (experimental?) sounds very interesting.

I'm glad that there will be surprises on the new record. I was starting to wonder if they would just make a New Maps of Hell 2, which is what I felt Resist Stance was giving indication of.

a cross between generator and recipe for hate but faster is the way I have always described my ideal BR album. fuck yeah.

Yep. They're playing the O2 ABC. It's already on the Tours & Shows section. |

Resist-Stance has a neat intro like Recipe for Hate (the song). ;-)
BTW, I think that intro should be played again half way through the song as a kind of bridge or break. Oh yeah, after reading those highlights, I just shit my pants. I wouldn't say TESF is the No Conrol of the 00's, but I definitely agree on Suffer=TPoB and ATG=NMoH, specially the last one. NMoH is such a good record. If Brett manages to come up with a song as good as Prodigal Son or Dearly Beloved, I'll be surprised. |

Resist Stance would hardly make me think of any RFH..
..Or prolly Resist Stance would then stand for Skyscraper or so.... |

This makes me even more excited for the album. Fast sounds good.

40 years in 2020; is It possible???

@Jay, if you read this... When comparing new material to old material, what are you actually comparing? Is it the lyrics, music, melodies, or perhaps just a gut feeling you have?
|
|
|
05/23/2010 at 02:55
This makes me unbearably anxious for the new album.
In a good way. I love Recipe for Hate, so it'll be neat to see the comparison. |

A fast equivalent to Recipe for Hate? Interesting.
