This should be a single and have a video! It has the perfect amount of old and new BR with a catchy bridge and powerful chorus and solo. The lyrics are really straight but not to spoileable, the socialogical/historical reference (Locke, and Fukuyama) is there but also a hint of Greg's scientific existencialism (The cosmic calendar).
This might be my favorite off of Age Of Unreason so far. Love the lyrics and the guitar parts are super fun to play. I've got a guitar cover and tab on my channel now for End Of History if anyone is interested!
@@MegaBrandOnRight on man - tabbing by ear is a great skill to learn. I love tabbing everything out myself, but it took me a long time to learn. I'm sure a lot of people are the same starting out, so I like to provide quality guitar tabs for people that haven't learned how to tab by ear yet.
@@PunkRockGuitarTabs yeah, it's cool to help people out. It might take me a while to get the tune right, but when you finally get the song right, the feeling is euphoric.
I think the "co-written by Graffin and Brett" just means that they've both spent some time fleshing out all the songs together. But there's no doubt in my mind that this song originated from Brett. @@badreligion1231
badreligion1231 ever since Brett came back in 2001 the songs have been credited to both. But inherently understood to be credited to one or the other. Process of Belief,50/50. Empire, about same. New maps, probably 60/40. True North, it was admitted that Greg wrote 10/16 of songs. Rare!
This may be the critically best song (for the chorus mostly) but "What Tomorrow Brings" will go down as the dark horse best. Bad Religion closers are always underrated ("Won't Say Anything", "Changing Tide", "In So Many Ways").
Hell yes. I really love "Bored and Extremely Dangerous" myself, even tho I know I'm probably in the minority - I also adore "Fields of Mars" and "Live Again"
@@oregonflatland Good ones here - honestly, starting from Against the Grain with "Walk Away", all of their closers have been pretty much on point. I guess I would say I prefer the penultimate songs from Stranger than Fiction and Generator to the final ones, but then you got stuff like the ones you mentioned, and "Don't Sell Me Short" (one of my personal all-time faves).
I've been trying to pinpoint this all morning. The solo, and the entire song, sounds like The Adolescents. Gurewitz posted on their instagram a few months ago about trying to replicate the Agnew bros guitar tone. This leads me to believe he played it. I think Brett took a lot of liberty in playing several solos in Hetson's place, which fine with me. I'm not sure yet which major solos, if any, are definitely Dimkich. I'd definitely like to know.
Read or heard in an interview somewhere in the internets from a source that I do recall thinking "this seems legit" that - for Unreason album - Brian recorded all the solos... although I don't have url handy. So I'm gonna say Brian
In a review of the album was written that it´s the head of Michelangelo´s David, one of the statues of the Renaissance, which was followed by the age of reason as far as i know. It makes sense considering the albums title.
Is it just me, or is this album a big middle finger NOT to Trump but to the whole contemporary political landscape and its emphasis on alarmism, panic and tribalism on both side of the political aisle? "I don't believe in presidents [!] that put kids in cages" applies to both Obama and Trump, in "Do the Paranoid Style" the left and the right are explicitly equated with each other, "If everything is subjective then what good is truth anyway?" in "Old Regime" aims at leftist political postmodernism and lines such as "Self-pity is always a case of mistaken identity" reference the victim olympics of intersectionalism. Don't get me wrong, they use buzz words such as "open society" as a positive reference point as well and talk about being "fox-stained". Yet, instead of putting the blame on 'the right', this album seems to bemoan the state of American society in general and implies that all political actors should do some soul-searching since they're part of the madness we've had to witness for years.. edit: spelling and grammar corrections
Yeah perhaps, but mostly it IS a big middle finger to Trump... You seem educated... Listen to the lyrics again (or read them) - I suggest you start with Big Black Dog
@@kth5077 Of course, Big Black Dog is as blatantly anti-Trump as it gets, but my point isn't that Trump is spared, nor is it that the blame is evenly distributed; As far as I know, all band members are rather left-leaning fellows and as such endowed with their own biases and discoursive filters that structure how they perceive and judge the world; they are by no means objective moral arbiters but they recognize the lunatic fringe (?) as well as the totalitarian and highly destructive aspects of 'their' faction - and hence their responsibilty for contributing to the mess that is American politcs. Even if it hasn't happened intentionally, there's a lot conservatives can identify with, too, since it can be read as criticism of the left; besides the lines I've already mentioned in my op, let's take for example the very title track you mentioned: Both liberals and conservatives believe to live in such "Age of Unreason" and lament a lack of "common sensibility", the former thinking of Trump undermining the governmental institutions and and having a hard time coping with the fact that such vulgar character has risen to such office by legal means, whereas the latter have Michelle Wolf's abortion parade, Rachel Maddow's hysteria and AOC's policy prescriptions in mind; each party considers the other one to be the one of "the fools [who] believe, as one, in this unrepentant age of unreason ". The same applies to "a man who received the seal He peddled blatant lies and brought back tyranny to divide his people with zeal". Even though the band had very likely Trump in mind, the conservative finds Obama in these lines, the lies ("If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"), the tyranny (governing by executive orders and undertaking a reconstruction and expansion of the welfare state via Obamacare, thus leaving many on the right with an overall feeling that Obama has both a rather instrumental approach to the state and its institutions as well as a deep mistrust of 'traditional' American values) and the division ("Trayvon Martin could have been my son" along with the emphasis on intersectionality in the second half of his presidency). Once again, just to be clear: the question isn't so much if these aspects of the lyrics have been intended but wether they are text-immanently deducable. (Which makes Bad Religion all the more fascinating to me - the achievenemts of this band are bigger than the sum of their parts.) Up to now I've listened to "The Age of Unreason" only a few times - so my perception of it isn't carved in stone yet. Suffice it to say that I would have been disappointed and wouldn't have wasted any time on the album, if it had turned out to be a simple "F Trump". But then, there's always a chance that I don't get one or the other allusion since I'm neither an English native speaker, nor living in the USA. edit: clarifications
@@kth5077 PS: It's not unlikely that my perception of the band is coloured by the fact that my go-to albums by them are Suffer, No Control and Against the Grain - all of them showing a clear awareness that the state of man is one of tragedy, an axiomatic way of viewing the world that - as far as I'm concernced - shouldn't be neglected when approaching The Age of Unreason, for it frees the album from the constraints of everyday politics. edit: clarifications

greg got bolder the album is a masterpiece. do the paranoid style goes to president donald trump
@@jankompos2330 Huge fan. Probably the most distilled BR. Not fucking around here. More poignant than Atomic Garden.
The whole chorus is just so badass. It makes my spirit move. Keep coming with those powerful choruses! :)
Lost count how many times I've listened to this track today. Best song on the album!
I really like it, but I like Paranoid Style a bit more.
The way he sings his word just say so much more. It really comes from the heart.. I just love bad religion..❤
Can't stop listening to this album! This may be my favorite selection but damn they're all great!

one of bad religion's best
Love that guitar solo.
Third song listened to.... NO album fillers. Unrelenting. Getting this on vinyl like now!
this is my favorite song off of the album ❤️❤️❤️
Me too
And here we go again.
Aaand theyre back!
“ Nostalgia is no excuse for stupidity.”
So good!
Best band ever. With Rise Against & Thursday 🤘
..so reminds me of the grey race days..great album so far and this one is a total blast!
Dr Schulz last good record for me gray race
I thought the same. Reminiscent of come join us.
This screams Brett all over it
I thought that too but apparently all the songs were co-written by Graffin and Brett and after looking at other lyrics I can see it .

Thank you gentlemen.

What an extraordinary person!
Good old sound, back to the 15s
Awesome Song!
I wonder who’s doin the solos ?,,,dimkitch or Baker ,,,great tune

oooh i like this one!
BAD RELIGION JUST KNOW HOW TO ROCK LIKE A PUNK AND THINK LIKE A GENIUS :)
Perfection 👌🏻
I like it.
This song is too fuckin good!!!
ALBUM GENERATOR IS THE BEST !
indeed
Tasty jam right here
It is Augustus on the seat though right? What's that about?
I think it's a reference to the song "Lose Your Head". I don't think the identity of the statue head is intended to be relevant.
In a review of the album was written that it´s the head of Michelangelo´s David, one of the statues of the Renaissance, which was followed by the age of reason as far as i know. It makes sense considering the albums title.

It's like a breath of fresh air reading this comment. Someone able to understand Bad Religion instead of pointing their finger in either direction.

Pretty sure that's the point. >_>
