DanMar 22, 2007I think i have listened to this cd a dozen times in the past 24 hours and each time i find myself singing along, fist in the air. Let them Eat War is my new favorite Bad religion song.

[Anonymous]Jul 11, 2005Bad Religion is one of the few "older" bands that has managed to retain its sound, message, and dignity. Empire is no exception to this statement, though this is by no means their best album.

BrianDDec 28, 2005Great album but not compared to process of belief, it is a slight let down. Also, I needed more songs like gods love.

MagnetAs potent and timely as anything it released during the Reagan era. [#64, p.83]
-
Alternative PressThe songs have the urgency and vitriol we've come to expect from the band, but there's one major problem: the spit shine production. [Jul 2004, p.128]

The Empire Strikes First isn't a return to Bad Religion at its most vitriolic and unstoppable -- whether that could ever really happen is unclear, and probably unnecessary.
