    Their last 2 records were pretty ok, I guess, and I imagine I'll give this one a go as well, but seriously Mr. Froberg: Hot Snakes. K thx.

    Can we please address how/why a 48 year old man is defying basic physiology by swelling to Hulk-like proportions? And don't say it's the egg whites and squats, Mr. Reznor!

    I'm not really sure if I like Hello Cruel World either. There was a time when I looked forward to the slower tracks the band would pepper throughout their albums, though admittedly that was sometime in the mid-90's. I think it was on Empire when things got a little weird on that end; Bootstamping has such an awesome,

    Well, here's the thing: it's not a better album than ATG. I would be ok with either Suffer, No Control, or ATG in the #2 spot, but for the sake of making a more interesting top 5, I chose Suffer and left the other 2 off entirely rather than placing them at #3 and #4.

    This is really a pretty great album from a pretty great band. It's definitely closer to the late 80's Epitaph sound than any of their 00's output. Everything's nice and tidy, concise and efficient. Not too many of the filler tracks (if any) that seemed to be obligatory on every Bad Religion record ever. Oh, and

    I'm a little surprised by some of the comments here. I thought it was universally accepted that Soundgarden were head and shoulders above every other band to emerge from Seattle in the late 80's/early 90's. This is not generally regarded as fact? Sub question: Seriously?

    This is simply a means of preventing Atom from playing for anymore awful, awful bands.
