1988 wiedervereinigt, lieferte Bad Religion mit ihrem dritten Album einen Meilenstein des melodischen Hardcore ab. Mit 15 Songs in rasantem Tempo und eingängigen Hooks schuf die Band einen Klassiker, der bis heute nichts von seiner Dringlichkeit verloren hat. Mit den Tracks „Automatic Man“ und „I Want to Conquer the World“ bleibt „No Control“ ein Glanzstück in der herausragenden Diskografie von Bad Religion. Suffer — with many of its songs written on the road — No Control confirmed that the Southern California act were back with a vengeance. Further honing their melodic hardcore sound, the 15-song release delivered speed-forward earworms at a quick clip, above which vocalist Greg Graffin unfurled studious, considered lyricism on political opportunists and living in society’s “inharmonic whole.” Featuring classic punk tracks “Automatic Man” and “I Want to Conquer the World,” No Control remains a stunner in Bad Religion’s sterling discography.
