Overview Edit

Suffer is the third album by American punk rock band Bad Religion, released on the Californian independent record label Epitaph Records on September 8, 1988. It was the first album that was both released and distributed by the label. Following the release of the EP Back to the Known (1985), Bad Religion went on a temporary hiatus, then reunited with its original members and went to work on its first full-length studio album in five years.

Although Suffer was not charted in Billboard, it is considered by many to be one of the best punk albums of the 1980s, as well as its follow-up No Control. After its release, Suffer quickly became Epitaph Records' best seller and was the label's best-selling album for a number of years, until the release of The Offspring's 1994 highly acclaimed album Smash. A plethora of third-wave punk bands cite this album as a major inspiration; NOFX's Fat Mike has called it "the record that changed everything."

5 stars definitively badass. Milestone.
Perfection. Snotty. Furious. High-minded. Vitriolic. Probably kick-started thousands of bands. And what perfect f^(king cover @rt. The lyrics to this hit you like a brick to the back of the head, but a brick that you have come to love and cherish.

"The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep. The vortex of their minds ensconced within the murky deep."

"I don't know if the billions will survive but I'll believe in God when 1 and 1 are 5."

Awesome. Hells yes. Right before they started r…

3 stars STRONG STRUCTURE
Oh my, this badn is strong, really delivers the punch !!! Very good indeed. The lyrics are astonishingly great, Greg's voice is unique. A great surprise for me. But I prefer "RECIPE FOR HATE" .
