Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as their final album before Brett Gurewitz returned to the lineup, Greg Graffin steered the legendary punk group toward highly polished, mid-tempo rock. Produced by Todd Rundgren, 'The New America' features notably personal, introspective lyricism regarding Graffin's recent divorce, moving away from their traditionally aggressive socio-political focus.
