Review

A 26-minute masterpiece in the making, Bad Religion's "No Control" presents a powerful distillation of hardcore punk's energy and intensity. Released in 1989, this album embodies the band's seamless blend of songwriting prowess and technical musicianship. Brett Gurewitz's rapid-fire guitar riffs and Greg Graffin's soaring vocals create a synergy that propels each track forward, transcending both brevity and tempo. The likes of "Change of Ideas" "Big Bang", and title track "No Control" exemplify the band's urgency and social consciousness, delivering messages just as relevant today.

This lean, potent album is an unrelenting showcase of melodic hardcore at its finest. Tracks such as "I Want to Conquer the World", "Automatic Man", and "Sanity" seamlessly marry infectious hooks with cerebral, occasionally sarcastic commentary, demonstrating the band's artful craftsmanship. With no time to waste, "No Control" solidifies its reputation as a classic within both Bad Religion's discography and the American punk rock canon; a testament to both the precision of speed and the substance that fuels this high-octane album. - Jasper
