BAD RELIGION Generator - 2004 remastered Punk Rock CD w/bonustracks
Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 2004 Cat. No.: 86704 Label: Epitaph Records
This 2004 edition of Generator is part of a bulk of remastered and/or expanded Bad Religion material from Epitaph. Like its tweaked brethren, the digitally revitalized Generator is louder overall, and more crisp.
The newfound clarity gives the whip crack of anthems like "Too Much to Ask," "Tomorrow," and "Chimaera" even more bite, accentuates the grit in Greg Graffin's famously vitriolic vocals, and even makes his self-made harmonies clearer. Musically, Generator is a perfect successor to Against the Grain. Its melodies and arrangements expand on the Bad Religion template, but never forsake the muscular economy of its hardcore root system.
Bonus tracks "Heaven Is Falling" and "Fertile Crescent" date from the 1991 sessions for Generator. In a statement of what was driving Generator lyrically, they were originally part of a split 7" with Noam Chomsky (!) issued by Maximum RockNRoll as part of an anti-Gulf War benefit.
