NO CONTROL

This is my favorite punk album also really happy that it came on perfect conditions.

Got this as a gift for my partner and he loved it. A very good quality vinyl for a very good price. About half the price of your average vinyl. It came in mint condition, still wrapped in its original packaging.

The only thing I can say about this album is that it is strong from a to z, but that I have to complain that the distance from a to z is too short. It has both the title track and "I wanna conquer the world" on it and a bunch of other good songs too. It's just too damn short, and you find yourself shouting "NO CONTROL" at the top of your lungs too many times in a short trip, making you look aroud self-consciously worrying that someone saw you rocking out to one of the best bands of the last 30 years. They also know you're old, because of this album and your baldness.

the recording quality of the cd, though remastered, still shows it was from 1989 or so, so don't be surprised about that if you're wondering where the bass went or whatever. This CD contains many bad religion classics, folks may remember You (tony hawk pro skater 2 featured it), Change of Ideas, No Control, there's a lot of excellent tracks to be had in this CD. If you are introducing somebody to bad religion for the first time, depending on their preference or background, i would either recommend this or something more recent (for that polished produced sound) like The Process of Belief or something.

Still kicking ass.. saw them in early 90s

My 2nd favorite BR album. Stoked they finally rereleased it on vinyl. If you never heard of them this is the perfect album to understand their sound. Bops include automatic man, no control, you, and change of ideas 5/5 amazing punk rock album

You know, I really do like Bad Religion. I really do. Though they have a tendency to overreach themselves a little in their lyrical choices (I'm convinced that it's all in an effort to sound smart, but that's not really the point), they have managed to be one of the most consistently good punk acts for twenty years now. No Control features the group arguably at their peak. Certainly, nobody will ever convince me that they've recorded a BETTER song than Big Bang, though they've equaled the effort. When it comes to recommending that somebody spend between ten and fifteen dollars on this piece of plastic, however, I have a couple of reservations that I should put down here as warning. To start, for those not in the know, Bad Religion is, as mentioned before, a punk rock band, pretty typical of the sound you can expect. If you're a more mainstream music fan who's just wondered here out of curiosity, another person who'd never heard them before compared them to The Offspring, but, you know, better, and not as irreverent (or as gimmicky). This record in particular is more oriented toward the hardcore punk scene than their previous outing (the also-much-ballyhooed Suffer), at least according to the Wikipedia entry, which should imply "faster and louder." If you're okay with that, there's a pretty good chance that you'll like the CD. If you're not, I'd advise you to steer clear. This is pretty far from a mainstream pop rock record, though a couple of the more radio-friendly numbers (like the aforementioned Big Bang) might still appeal. For established Bad Religion fans or people just starting with the group, you either have this record or you should. But, on to my problems, and it all boils down to how much music has been put on the disc in the first place. There's not much. The album length is somewhere in the 20s of minutes. For $10+, I kind of expect a little bit more than that. The sad thing is that this is really a problem that could have been easily remedied. In country music right now, there's a couple of labels that have taken to going back through the older LPs for their established artists (Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash and whatnot), pulling out two of them, and pressing them onto a single CD. Bad Religion and their various publishers need to learn from that. No Control is a masterful album, but a distressingly short one, and that's damaging to its value. Were this paired with, for example, Suffer (as I have done - and you still end up well under the 1 hour mark, so I could probably have shoved another half an album on there if I were just trying to maximize storage), I could recommend this CD to anybody who's down with the music. As it stands, I downloaded this from eMusic. I'm not a big fan of digital downloading - I prefer to get my music in as uncompressed a medium as possible, and downloaded MP3s do not offer you any uncompressed format - but I just cannot justify recommending that anybody pay for a record this short unless that person is a true die-hard fan. It's not that I dislike the music at all, but that I think you ought to be able to get it at a better value. Certainly, if the return on investment doesn't bother you, I would unconditionally recommend purchase, but I'd politely suggest to the band that it might be a good idea to look into maybe double-packing some of its older catalog to cut new and incoming fans a break. EDIT 9/17/2007: Well, now it would appear that Epitaph has seen fit to discontinue their relationship with eMusic, so your opportunity to download this at a reasonable discount is gone. I'm not feeling particularly generous to them as a company, given the decision, so I'm tempted not to recommend buying it on CD, but if you are a dedicated fan of punk rock, it's probably still worth your money.

Plays well, sounds great.

Made a very happy fiance. Quick service

Fast so gut wie Against The Grain, aber nur fast 😁 Wie sagte Kaiser Franz: „In Germany, we call it a Klassiker!“

Great

Un de leur tout meilleur album (si ce n'est le meilleur) : 25 minutes de pur bonheur, indémodable, jouissif.... Bad Religion!!!

Um classico dos primeiros anos de atividade do Bad Religion. Capa linda. Tudo certo!
