Album Notes & Community Reviews
Bad Religion's debut full-length established the foundational, blistering speed and highly literate lyricism that would define the band's career. 'How Could Hell Be Any Worse?' is an incredibly raw, highly energetic hardcore punk assault featuring Greg Graffin's fiercely intelligent, existential, and deeply pessimistic political commentary.
