BAD RELIGION - RECIPE FOR HATE
**30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY LTD. RED
From the opening strains of the politico title-track to the countrified
pedal steel guitar on "Man With A Mission," from the antiestablishment anthem "American Jesus," to the heart rending
ballad "Struck A Nerve," Bad Religion"s Recipe For Hate is by far
their most eclectic album, and one that never ceases to stir up
controversy among fans. Graffin, a seething combination of perfect
pitch and skeptical emotion, reaffirms his place as one of the best
punk rock vocalists on this record. Guest appearances abound,
from Eddie Vedder (of Pearl Jam fame) harmonizing on "American
Jesus" and "Watch it Die," to Concrete Blonde"s Johnette
Napolitano"s stunning vocals on "Struck A Nerve," to Claw
Hammer"s John Wahl and Chris Bagarozzi"s searing guitar leads
on "Kerosene." As the songwriting team of Graffin/Gurewitz pull
back from their more introspective writing that appeared on some
of the previous albums, they focus ever more keenly on the events
of the day. Recipe For Hate is a scathing commentary on the state
of the nation, a social criticism addressing alcoholism, abortion and
homelessness.
Reissued on limited edition Red w/ black smoke vinyl to
celebrate the album"s 30th anniversary!
