What do you say about a band’s sixteenth record? Of the Brett-Gurewitz-is-back-in-the-band era, True North is basically on par with the so-so Dissent of Man and New Maps of Hell. It lags far behind the excellent The Process of Belief (an album that is as good as anything in Bad Religion’s entire catalog). In other words, it’s good but not great.
Here’s my favorite track from the record, a tune that has the urgency and simplicity of early Bad Religion.
