With The Dissent Of Man, Bad Religion challenges their own past decade since returning with Brett Gurewitz to the songwriting formula with 2002’s The Process Of Belief. Not unlike Generator and Recipe For Hate took Bad Religion’s earlier output and put a new spin on it, The Dissent Of Man combines searing punk anthems (“The Day The Earth Stalled”, “Meeting Of The Minds”), and songs that are equal parts punk and rock (“Devil In Stitches”, “Cyanide”). After 15 albums, Bad Religion are still inspired and the result is an album that pushes the envelope of what a punk band can be.
