    New Maps is a terrific sounding record; at least two-thirds of it begs many repeated listens.

    It finds that the guys don't just still have it, but they sound goddamn rejuvenated, bristling with electric energy and undeniable fervor.

    'New Dark Ages,' with its layered background harmonies, wall-of-sound instrumentation, and quietly propulsive drumming, is a 27-year career in a nutshell.

    It's business as usual for Bad Religion, the US punk rock stalwarts recently restored to full power with the return of guitarist Brett Gurewitz. [Sep 2007, p.100]

    Not their best album by any stretch of the imagination. However it's still a lot better than most of the other rubbish being churned out in this genre of music.… Expand

    Worst BR album ever. Uninspired and unoriginal.
