L'8 Settembre 1988 quei mattacchioni dei Bad Religion pubblicavano Suffer, un disco destinato a diventare una delle pietre miliari del Punk Hardcore melodico, quello che da li in poi sarebbe semplicemente stato definito come il "Punk Californiano".
NoFX, OffSpring, Pennywise, tutti i gruppi successivamente hanno indicato quel album come il loro punto di riferimento
15 tracce, per una durata complessiva di 26 minuti, praticamente meno di due minuti di media a traccia 😅
38 anni dopo è ancora un disco unico, godibilissimo dalla prima all'ultima traccia, in un lungo grande respiro!
Tra le mie preferite, "Give you nothing".
Hey, everybody's looking but they never can see
All the angst, corruption and the dishonesty
Think about the times and places you've never known
You're a man swarm atom and yet you're alone
So I give you me, I give you nothing
I give you me, I give you nothing
So you got a place that you can call all your own
But you make a habit of carrying the stone
Look around and ask someone if you are alive
You're a sidewalk cypher speaking prionic jive
So I give you me, I give you nothing
I give you me, I give you nothing
Respectable, despicable, it seems all the same
Now we realise that we have nothing to say
If your reserve is weak, audacity complete
Ask yourself again, do I deserve much from them
No!
Hey, everybody's looking but they never can see
All the angst, corruption and the dishonesty
Look around and ask someone if you are alive
You're a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive
So I give you me, I give you nothing
I said I give you me, I give you nothing
