Bad Religion - All Ages: 9 (A) - plus batch review

Essentially contains three from Suffer, four from Generator, five from No Control and seven from Against the Grain. I'll review the first two separately. The last two I listened to three times each and would probably give them both a 7.5 (high B+), which means in the normal course I would get copies. By the way, the fact that they are the most represented on this album is further proof that these two are their best.

Anyway, on No Control, that has 15 songs, so this includes 1/3 of what is essentially an EP at 26:14. It also contains all the best songs off that album, so I'm not getting an EP issue at full price to get 17 minutes of its lesser songs.

And Against the Grain has 17 songs. This leaves off all songs on AG that are under 1:54 and only three over 2:15. The seven songs clock in at 17:36, which is more than half of the 34:56 album, and it's obviously the better half, so I won't be collecting that one either.

In summary, All Ages make No Control and Against the Grain basically redundant.
