Although longtime Bad Religion fans may disagree, the band's 1993 release, RECIPE FOR HATE, is arguably one of their finest releases. Although they'd been around for years, age had not dulled the band's attack in the slightest. Included are guest spots by such alt-rock notables as Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano, as the band thrash their way through such standouts as "Lookin' In," "My Poor Friend Me," and "American Jesus."

Melody Maker (8/7/93, p.31) - "...On RECIPE FOR HATE the guitars deliver a venomous bite, but the melodies are often sweet and succulent...this creation of [Bad Religion] may have taken longer than six days, but it's pretty damn near immaculate..." Musician (11/93, p.91) - "...Imagine Social Distortion without the Johnny Cash fixation, and you'll have a sense of Bad Religion's sound. Add politicized songwriting that's as interested in good hooks as in making a point, and you'll know why this is a must-hear album...."
I'm surprised to be the 1st reviewer This is like Bad Religion's best album for me. It's slower than the previous ones, but the lyrics have matured more, in a good way. Best tracks are Skyscraper, American jesus, and Struck a Nerve. Submitted by Adam (Wisconsin) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
