For "The Grey Race" yes, he nailed it, with a little help from Brian on a couple songs (Nobody Listens, Streets of America), but No Substance was a disaster of their own admission with maybe just a couple good songs and TNA is okay, but suffers from Bobby sounding tired on the drums, thank dog Brooks Wackerman came and rejuvenated the band so well in 2002 along with Brett coming back. But yes, The Grey Race is an album I loved from front to back and the only other records I had from them back then as a 14 year old or so was the "All Ages" comp, STF and Recipe For Hate on cassette (Epitaph label only!), so I only had a glimpse of what was on the 80's/early 90's albums. I got cable modem in 99 so I quickly got up to speed and TGR could still be in my top 5 album wise, not so much NS and TNA though.
@@severed111 10 years since I left that comment, damn. But I agree with you. TGR is awesome. And I honestly think TNA has some fantastic songwriting on it, and I actually like the drumming on it, even though Bobby was obviously suffering from his shoulder injury at that point. Don't Sell Me Short is unironically still one of my all time favorite Bad Religion songs. No Substance has a couple of catchy tunes, but was a lazy, uninspired poppy record. The Process of Belief, TESF and NMoH was like the perfect trilogy. They sounded like a rejuvanted, almost new band at that point.
@@1fightdragons Hah, I didn't notice when you posted that, glad you answered. Oh yeah, I said TNA was a bit better. Don't Sell Me Short is one hell of a closer of an album. I also unironically love "I Love My Computer", written in 2000 and I could relate to some of it already 🤣 but it got worse when the normies got to it with smartphones and farcebook, they should rewrite it as "I Love My 21st Century Digital Toy" or something like that.
... I sincerly recomend to read the book "Anarchy evolution",written by Greg G. It's got a lot of GOOD points,thats for sure... This song are somhow a good presentation of the mindseting,so to speak...
@@johnzackarias11 I wouldn’t think programmed drums would sound as good given the era, but I guess by 94 he could probably afford better home demo gear than he could during the Suffer/No Control era. Also, now that I think about it, the cymbals do sound like programmed drums. Good ears dude.

The Baker solo (on the album) changed this song from great to epic!
This was probably my favorite bad religion album besides no control.
I would love to see Graffin play guitar as it sounds here! Something I never saw in any video, wouldn't that be great?
You can say what you want about the "no Gurewitz-era" of BR, but Graffin sure more than delivered in the songwriting department

@@severed111 haha spot on!
@@severed111 No Substance was bad both lyrically and musically. Even TNA is better despite the horrible production.
What a touching picture here! Jay and greg. Marvelous
I agree

I've read it three times now. Great read.
Is Graffin playing drums too?! They sound too real to be programmed, especially considering the era
Nah I'm pretty sure they're programmed

Jay looks higher than a kite
Teenage Baker in the thumbnail.
And Bobby looks 12.
