Greenpeace are extremely pus*****!!!!

Every once in a while (ok, a lot), I read Amazon.com customer reviews, especially the music ones. Reviews with 1 star always get me fired up and provide a fun read 99% of the time. Like this one, below, for Bad Religion's masterpiece, 1990's Against The Grain. This guy is funny and I particularly love the "music for Nerds" and Greenpeace references. He must be on the money, because he capitalized the word "nerd" for us. Calling out a band like Bad Religion as having lyrics that "aren't serious either" just makes me giggle, because, you know, singer Greg Graffin only writes lyrics about cars and girls and not about interpersonal relationships or chaos in our ecosystem. Hahahaha out loud funny! Click the link that says "See all my reviews" below and check the other ones out. Apparently, he cannot spell the word "p****" very well. Or "violence". Or "heavy". Or....

Punk Rock For Nerds, February 12, 2006

Reviewer:

Screen Names are fu*king stupid "Signatures are fu*king stupid" (Locations are fu*king stupid) - See all my reviews

Granted, I don't hate Bad Religion as some of their songs are good and How Can hell Get Any Worse? is a great album, but seriously, what is this? Is this even punk? People who call this hardcore have absolutly no idea what they are talking about. You call this hardcore? If you do think that, you suck. This is immensly inferior and a huge insult to real hardcore albums. it's all more pop than punk. Compare this to Minor Threat's "COmplete DIscography", and CD Makes ATG sound like a dispolable pop rock band.

Against The Grain is a total insult to Bad Religion's album discography. ALong with their extremely cheesy INto The Unkown, this one falls flat and is third rate music of the genre it's trying to take. this is really just third rate fake hardcore punk.

This is basically punk for Nerds. Issues such as man polluting the ecosytem (Modern Man), Children isolation (21st centurt digital boy), Religion (OPeration rescue), etc. THere isn't anything punk! This sounds like Greenpeace, Greenpeace are extremely pus*****, far from punk, flat and safe. The lyrics aren't angry, they aren't serious either. Where are all the topiucs pukn was about? Nihlism, LEft wing (clash, crass, dead kennedys), anarchism, anti-corporations, or just plain rebellion? NOne of this is there, only for nerds to think they are cool with Bad Religion.

The music itself is pretty bad. There music is extremely poppy, the riffs are bland and boring, and with the stupid "whoa-whoa-whoa" type vocals are extremely boring and lame, the songs sound the same. There are a few songs that are worthy, but the whole album fo r that matter is just terrible. And this stuff is just a waste for a punk. THis would definitly attract wussie PETA groups, thinking they are rebellious. THe music is just terrible. Don't waste your time with this, listen to Bad Brains, basically the hardcore bands from the birth to it't early death by the early 80's. Go straight for the source.

Basically, hardcore is dead (punk, is not dead, just the subgenre of pukn is), and this pathetic attempt at trying to make it a genre fails. There is nothing good about this album or punk, because the topics basically have nothing to do with it. Skip this.
