Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Build a Nation' marked a significant reunion for the legendary hardcore pioneers Bad Brains, featuring their original lineup and studio production from Beastie Boy Adam Yauch. The record intentionally attempts to recapture the raw, frantic energy of their early years, sharply alternating between blistering punk anthems and laid-back reggae dubs.
