It finds that the guys don't just still have it, but they sound goddamn rejuvenated, bristling with electric energy and undeniable fervor.
-
New Maps is a terrific sounding record; at least two-thirds of it begs many repeated listens.
-
'New Dark Ages,' with its layered background harmonies, wall-of-sound instrumentation, and quietly propulsive drumming, is a 27-year career in a nutshell.
-
There’s a heavy metal fence around much of New Maps of Hell that does sometimes feel new, or at least like revitalization of old habits.
-
SpinThe tagets haven't changed much, and Bad Religion still hits them hard. [Aug 2007, p.98]
-
On Maps, BR breathe new life into their formula--short, fast and melodic Cali skate-punk ditties led by the always politically and socially aware growlings of lead singer Greg Graffin.
-
There's plenty of the driving, impassioned melodic hardcore that Bad Religion pretty much invented, but there is very little on this record to separate them from the vapid snowboard-video pop-punk that is their unfortunate legacy.

MrL.Aug 2, 2007When was Bad Religion ever anything but a vehicle for the mentally underendowed to feel temporarily more intelligent than was their right?
