Thanks for the review, Denzil, I'll have to check that one out.

Ultimate favorite... Punk Rock Song.

[Denzil]

My favourite Bad Religion song is Sorrow. I love the lyrics and it is a great song to sing along to.

[A. Remin' D.]

I haven't gotten the new album yet.

My favorite songs by them are Fuck Armageddon... This Is Hell and When.

[FinalBeyond]

My favourites of theirs overall are probably Punk Rock Song and Beyond Electric Dreams.

I saw NMOH in Virgin, and it became the first non-Japanese music CD I've purchased in about a year. :p My faves from it are Requiem For Dissent and Honest Goodbye.

[Denzil]

Nice! Another person who likes The Empire Strikes First album. Beyond Electric Dreams and To Another Abyss are my favourite songs from that album.

[FinalBeyond]

TESF is probably my fave album of theirs. The title song and Athiest Peace are also favourites, but I didn't want too long a list. :p

Yeah, it is a fantastic album. I have listened to it so many times (it one that put on at work at least once or twice a week) but i never seem to get bored of it.

[Shreds of Sanity]

New Maps of Hell might be my favourite of the last three. Not that Empire Strikes First and Process of Belief are bad. On the contrary, I love them all.

The thing that makes New Maps of Hell stand out is that it sounds the most whole as an album. I really appreceate the throwback to their earlier albums approach they tried. The short songs flow into each other very well, which makes the album very easy to listen the entire way through. The Process of Belief and The Empire Strikes First have a couple of better individual songs, (much, much love for Epiphany, one of their best ever) but writing a good album is a different beast altogether and they've done so excellently here.
