True North Bad Religion Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download music. Editors’ Notes Bad Religion has won the war of attrition. Not many punk bands that began making records in the early '80s are still around and capable of putting out albums that maintain and even better their reputation. But then, few punk bands sport a three-guitar team like Brett Gurewitz, Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks), and Brian Baker (Minor Threat). These players were all-star caliber when they entered the scene, and the years have only improved their attacks. The band's abrasive edge is kept in check, while its abilities with a great tune have never been stronger, whether in the speedy race of "In Their Hearts Is Right" or the tortoise-paced "Hello Cruel World," where vocal harmonies bring out the song's richness. "Vanity," "Land of Endless Greed," "The Island," and "My Head Is Full of Ghosts" stay true to the band's hardcore roots, but with stronger album production values. "F**k You" shows that Bad Religion hasn't lost its attitude, and "Robin Hood in Reverse" remains true to the band's poor-boy roots and its sense of social consciousness and justice. Longer may Bad Religion run. Customer Reviews Brett Gurewitz got his mojo back! Anyone who was underwhelmed by the previous album, The Dissent Of Man, should be notified that Bad Religion is back stronger than before. While the album does go back to the the band's roots, there are still plenty of experimentation and surprises. And Graffin's vocals are as solid as ever. Also, for the first time, Mr. Brett takes lead vocals on a track ("Dharma and the bomb"). The band attempts unconventional sing-songy harmonies ("In their hearts is right") -- and nails it. The best songs are the closer "Changing Tides" and the melancholic, downtempo "Hello Cruel World". Though, the title track seems to be the fan favorite here. Baker does a solid job as always, though the guitar solo wankery is at an unfortunate minimum. His work here is mostly fast and short -- even more so than usual. No epic wailing this time, just quick and studious punk bridge work. Overall, a solid release with nary any filler to be found. brilliant Bad Religion's best album since "Stranger Than Fiction". A sequel to "No Control", you will note that only one song exceeds 3 minutes. each song is its own punk anthem in its own right. this is the way Bad Religion should sound. this is the way punk rock should sound. absolutely gorgeous lyrics written and sung by Dr. Greg Graffin (Ph. D) and Brett. their musicality is tight as ever, production is seamless; the album's production method represents the general gist, sound, and vibe of the album, it was recorded on analog tape, but with the latest microphones and production equipment, as the album's sound returns them to their punk rock glory of the late 80's/early 90's, with a more refined, well crafted and matured edge. This album is a punk masterpiece, and is more worth your money than any punk album since the mid 90's. Recommended tracks: the whole album, but if you must pick a few, the title track "True North", "F-- You", "Dept. of False Hope", "Hello Cruel World" Just buy it. This is, no joke, the best Bad Religion album since Against the Grain. It's raw, it's aggressive, and it is catchy as all hell. The more intricate songwriting of newer Bad Religion is still there, but the fire of the band's early years is back in full force, and the end result is amazing. So just buy this album, you know you're going to anyway. This is what a group of old-school punk rockers sound like when they're firing on all cylinders.

Pravac sjever! Bad Religion - True North Pravi, geografski sjever, kažu, nemoguće je utvrditi klasičnim kompasom. Njegova igla trza samo na onaj magnetski sjever i dovodi nas tek približno onom pravom. Popratimo na trenutak pak gramofonsku iglu. Ona kaže kako je Bad Religion družba pronašla svoj sjever. Ili mu je barem vraški blizu. Punk-rock dinosauri koji su preživjeli meteore, Busha mlađeg i modernu pop glazbu zalizali su svoje sijede i pokazali svima kako im titula legendi itekako pristaje. Rockerski orijentirani "The Dissent of Man" je iza nas i bio je dobar, no "True North" je tu i zapalio je štalu. I da, obrišite prašinu s onih debelih Oxfordovih rječnika, mogli bi dobro doći. Album je brz, pjesme svakim slušanjem sve više hvataju za uši, a pozadinski 'ooozin' aaahs' vokali i dalje su trademark benda. Dug 35 minuta najkraći je to Bad Religion uradak još od daleke 1992. i albuma "Generator" koji "True North" šiša za pet minuta. Prvopotezna pjesma istoimenog naziva prepoznatljivo je badreligionovska i bilo bi je teško zamijeniti za pjesmu nekog drugog benda. Sadrži sve elemente jedne pjesme Bad Religion, instrumentalno i lirički – noge tjera na tapkanje, a mozak na razmišljanje. U srodnom i hitrom taktu stižemo do prvog mini iznenađenja, propulzivne pete pjesme koja po svom naslovu zvuči kao da je mogla ispasti iz džepa nekom ljutitom tinejdžeru – u ovom slučaju 48-godišnjem znanstveniku, profesoru paleontologije i antropologije, te književnom autoru, Gregu Graffinu. "Sometimes I have no sense at all, As most flawed men are wont to do, Just say fuck you, Pavlovian rude, A menace too, Pay hommage to, Your bad attitude". Ako to nije podiglo pokoju obrvu, "Dharma and the Bomb" to svakako hoće. Nakon više od tri desetljeća i 250 pjesama glavno grlo neke Bad Religion pjesme nije Greg, već kolega mu Brett Gurewitz. Brett je pjesmu naime otpjevao kako bi Gregu pokazao kako ona zvuči u njegovoj glavi, no budući da se Greg mučio, zadržana je Brettova verzija koja u konačnici predstavlja pravo osvježenje u njihovom katalogu. Tekstualno je to prava zbrka referenci koja se može protumačiti samo ako ste stručnjak za istočnjačku filozofiju i nuklearno oružje ili ako ste vješti s internetskim tražilicama. Dobrodošlo odstupanje od klasične zvučne formule koje zvuči poput neke alternativne rock pjesme otprije 20-ak godina. Palac gore. "Hello Cruel World" svojim osrednjim tempom neodoljivo podsjeća na "Streets of America" s albuma "The Gray Race" ili "Sanity" s "No Control", te je ujedno najduža pjesma na albumu. Dobar je primjer vremenske neograničenosti koji u isto vrijeme ima prizvuke albuma otprije dvadeset godina baš kao i onih izašlih tijekom zadnje dekade. Tempirana na polovici ploče dobra je uvertira u drugi, nešto introspektivniji dio albuma i njegovu uvjerljivo najbržu pjesmu, jednominutnu petardu "Vanity" koja izvlači ono najbolje iz bubnjara Brooksa Wackermana. Marširajuća "In Their Hearts is Right" sa svojim jednostavnim, a opet toliko efektnim refrenom vrlo lako zavlači se u uho i izdvojio bih je kao jedinu koja u mom slučaju nije zahtijevala više od jednog slušanja – upamtio sam je istog trena. "Dept. of False Hope" melodična je oda razumu i prijeko potrebnom ljudskom jedinstvu i jedan od najjačih aduta albuma s nešto nježnijom vokalnom izvedbom i zaraznim 'hosana' uzvikom. Sitna modifikacija Gregova glasa u dijelovima pjesme "My Head is Full of Ghosts" neodoljivo odgovara njenoj atmosferi i detalj koji ćete voljeti ili mrziti. Nostalgična "Changing Tide" impresivno zaključuje ovaj impresivan album: "Brothers say goodbye, Sisters don't you cry, All embrace the times,Wade into the changing tide". Minus je prevelik broj pjesama. Od viška glava ne boli, no smatram kako bi s pjesmom ili dvije manje album zapravo bio kompletniji. Osim toga, prisutna je i sličnost s prethodnicima kojih ima dosta. "Dharma and the Bomb" unosi toliko dobrodošao element iznenađenja, no i dalje je to sonički poznato iskustvo, punk-rock koji mlati istu slamu jedan dobar period. To doduše može biti i minus i plus. Tko voli, nek' izvoli. Bad Religion ionako nikad nisu bili isključivo muzički ili lirički, već oboje. Ovo je savršeni slušački debi i ukoliko bude posljednji dostojan je toga. Kad jedan bend obilježi više od polovice vašeg života, kad su vam prve dlačice ispod nosa rasle usporedno s njegovim riffovima, i kad su melodije iz vaših zvučnika bile oaze pod plavim nebom daleko prije nego ste mogli znati koji k.. one zapravo znače teško je biti objektivan. Ja sam to pokušao. Ukoliko ste odrasli uz ovaj ili bilo koji bend, znate o čemu pričam. "True North" možda neće odgovoriti na neka životna pitanja, no mogao bi pomoći u traženju njihovih odgovora, kao i u postavljanju novih pitanja o svijetu oko sebe i u sebi. Možda pomogne usmjeriti nečiji unutarnji kompas ka pravom sjeveru. Ili barem vraški mu blizu.
