Album Review:

 
Bad Religion purists may think only a few songs on New Maps Of Hell rank as some of their best, and the whole album doesn't quite stack up. I never liked purists.

The album mix is a little rough, and the vocals are sometimes buried. If you just sit back and enjoy the raucous music and wordsmithing you won't really notice. Many younger 'punk' bands would do well to use Bad Religion as an influence.

This collection of punk anthems about social consciousness and freedom has quickly jumped to the top of my favorite releases this year.
