Bad ReligionThe Gray Race

Muscular, polished, and unexpectedly heavy, with Ric Ocasek of The Cars sharpening the attack at Electric Lady. Punk Rock Song hammers out a chugging, anthemic hook that became a setlist staple. The Gray Race itself churns dark and dense. This was the first album without co-founder Brett Gurewitz, with Brian Baker of Minor Threat and Dag Nasty stepping in on guitar and co-writing four tracks. Heavier than you'd expect, and built to last.
