About as good as you would expect from post-2000 Bad
Religion. The Approach, Chaos From Within and What Tomorrow
Brings are fantastic, top-tier BR songs that showcase
Greg's ageless vocals and the band's famous guitar
interplay, but sit next to songs like Big Black Dog, Lose
Your Head and Candidate, some of BR's worst material in
years. Musically it's a bit more varied than True North,
but the drumming takes a big step backwards in complexity
without Brooks although Jamie does a perfectly fine job on
his debut.
Lyrically, how much you enjoy this album really depends on
where you sit in the political spectrum - if you're a
raging liberal that despises all things Trump, here's the
Orange Man Bad: The Album that you wanted. If you're more
moderate or conservative, prepare to chuckle at an album
full of leftist Boomerisms and reductionist stereotyping by
out-of-touch limousine punks. It's smarter partisan tripe
than most, but BR are still flogging a lyrical dead horse
and not adding any new insight, they're just using bigger
words.

This definitely isn?t their strongest record, but it is by no means their most overtly political; that belongs to The Empire Strikes First.rThis isn?t a good review, either. Your critiques of the lyrics sound reactionary. To quote yourself in your own review: ?yawn.? Donald Trump?s rhetoric, divisiveness, and domestic policies are racist. It is one of the reasons why unapologetic fascists are on the rise again. This album is also not criticizing solely Donald Trump and his base, either. BR have always been criticizing settler colonialism and religious dogma and fundamentalism. This record is no different in that regard.

Sad to see The Kids Are Alt-Right or Profane Rights of Man won't be on here. Still hyped for the album, though.Edit: it's alright. Pretty good lyrics, kinda poor instrumentals, though. True North was way better.rEdit2: Digging this way more after repeated listens, actually.

Disappointing follow up to True North. Drumming is a far cry from what it was. Still, it's Bad Religion and a fun group of tracks. Just hope this isn't the album they go out on.
