Bad Religion - Suffer

Bad Religion’s Suffer (1988) is the album that reignited punk rock and set the stage for the melodic hardcore movement of the ‘90s. Clocking in at just over 26 minutes, this record is a blistering, no-frills attack on societal decay, ignorance, and apathy—classic Bad Religion themes, delivered with rapid-fire precision. Tracks like “You Are (The Government),” “1000 More Fools,” and the title track “Suffer” showcase Greg Graffin’s sharp lyricism and the band’s signature blend of speed, melody, and intellectual fury. “Do What You Want” and “Best for You” are pure punk anthems, while “Land of Competition” and “Give You Nothing” offer unrelenting energy and biting social critique. If you're a fan of fast, smart, and aggressive punk, Suffer is essential. This is the album that helped shape the sound of modern punk rock, proving that melody and intensity can coexist. Whether you’re revisiting a classic or discovering it for the first time, this is a must-have for any punk vinyl collection. T
