The Empire Strikes First... 14 songs that are fresh, focused, and absolutely alive in the way that

great rock 'n' roll energizes everything it touches. It's been a long road from their early-80s

beginnings, but these days, the primary concerns of Graffin and Gurewitz are not the band's

intricate (and subtle) years-long evolution; they're first and foremost topical songwriters focused

on domestic chaos and its global manifestation. Bad Religion is, after all, the outfit that, during the

first Gulf War in 1991, shared a Maximum Rock 'n' Roll split seven-inch with radical MIT professor

Noam Chomsky, who, like them, is locked into the tense present and dedicated to exposing the

forces who lie and disguise to deepen and enforce human misery.
