its tradition to blast this every year on Christmas Eve for me since 2016, anyone else got this blasting through their house?! 🤘😝🌲☃️🎅 2024 here we come ❤️💯❤️💯❤️
It really is Christmas 2023, . December 25 00.12am and I'm listening to this for the first time in my life. Gonna be 59 on this coming new years eve. Brilliant album. 👍Happy Christmas. 👏👏👏
The cover picture comes from a picture titled "New Shoes" by Gerald Waller (Austria 1946). It is of an orphan boy who received new shoes. Maybe we shall all think a little more about what pure joy means. Merry Christmas everyone !!!
Brought this one home and asked my wife "What's the band you least expect a Christmas album from?". She guessed right at first try. ,-) Have fun, get drunk, be nice to everyone!
God Bless You!!!! My Pops passed in 2021......still feels like yesterday.... Christmas 🎄 is his favorite and all time holiday.......I will honor him and listen to this album LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going forward!!!!!!!!!! See you down the road Pop 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Прекрасный альбом великой группы. И хотя это не в традициях русского православия но многие песни мне давно знакомы . С Рождеством вас ,добрые люди! Да здравствует Bad Religion 🎉
Of course they nailed it. But i feel its controversial to the name of the band. But there cause is noble as hell. If you listen they are telling you that all tho they don't believe in god(greg) or orginized religion. They will always sopport the fellow man. Its all about the handshake.
I think anyone claiming to be a Bad Religion fan and complaining about this clearly does not understand them. Remember American Jesus? Yeah, they play on Irony regularly. This was probably hilarious and fun for them. You can be an atheist and still celebrate Christmas. This doesnt suddenly change your beliefs. I think this is facinating and shows their tolerance and open minds.
Best part is they did this for charity. They didn't exactly write all the songs, so they only took enough money to pay for the production. Buy one for someone you love!
Punk-Rock Trucker I thinking thats a joke!!! One of the disapointing things ive heard was, Greg G. saying he's a [fuckin!] carnivore, cos of it suited his constitution, fucking cop out!!! So frigging disapointing!! Esp. when he singing 'Koyoto Now', when the red meat industry, cows, pigs, etc are part of contribution too the problem destroying OZONE LAYER/Climate CHANGE!!!!!! Plus MEAT IS MURDER!!! Bloody hipocritical!!!!! upseting
May the old gods be with you, May Allfather Odin give you wisdom, may Thor give you unlimited power, may dear Eir heal your wounds, may Feya give you love and being loved back forever, sister.
Anybody thought that maybe the band is a bunch of old punks having a bit of fun for Christmas? Which benefits charity and their fans for having something to listen in december. Great band. Great tunes!
I love this album. I listen to it every year on this time of the year since I discovered it. Merry Christmas to you all and let's hope 2023 will be a good year for us.
I call this "respectful irony" - anyone who pretends to know anything about their history should know that many forms of music have guided their evolution. To label BR as "power chord punk" is ignorant. Furthermore valid critics know their counterparts. So while some may take this as literal and others maybe as offensive, I view it as a confirmation for their 30+ years of being one of the most intelligent bands ever, power chords and all...Merry Xmas!
This old man just saw them live for the first time ever and “ironic” is exactly how I described this album. Well said sir!! (And yes, Old Punks stand in the back now but appreciate it more…)
@@slugcult1973 There are definitely a ton of complaints (some deleted here but seen on these songs elsewhere) calling Bad Religion hypocrites for doing Christmas songs. I'm not joking.
Punk has no sound it's a lifestyle, the genre of punk is kept alive by the people that love it. I seriously don't get the whole punk is this but not that. Enjoy what you like when you want how bout that? Play, say and do what you want. This whole judgemental punk movement is literally killing punk and it's ideology, you don't have to like, still want to slap a lable on it and you?
@@JoeEWhite-kd6mt exactly, while the music may have a generally homogenous sound, that's not at all what it's about. Take the Clash for instance, they didn't exactly "sound like punk", but they were as punk as any other punk band.
A seriously fantastic album of classic carols, done with a care and respect to the core of the message behind em. Jesus would laugh at the irony, tapping his foot the whole time. Plus, Graffin absolutely kills it.
God uses the most unlikely instruments to carry out His work of salvation. I've always loved Bad Religion for their music, especially the lyrics. But this album stroke me in a completely new way. When I first heard it, I felt I was facing something really big and true. This experience made me open my heart to the power and grace of God in my life. Today I can see that my life has a meaning. There's a reason for me to wake up every day, and this reason is Christ. Thank you, Bad Religion, for this gift. May it help lead many other souls to God, especially the band members. I will remember to pray for you always. May God bless you 🙏
You just got to love the calligraphic style on this album, where every letter is in a different style in old German Gothic. I am a font nerd. The Bad Religion logo however, is "Friz Quadrata Bold".
@@borissidealmeida I apologise for the late reply. Thank you. You are welcome. 😊 The head font used in the Garfield comics is "Cooper Black", by the way.
“A good song is a good song, regardless of its meaning,” Graffin says. “The best part about good songs is they have metaphors and symbolism. The metaphors and stories in the Bible are some of the best stories that have been constructed by mankind. Even though we don't have to celebrate them as a religious ceremony, they make for pretty darn good subject matter in terms of songs.”
A good introduction to punk for a beginner is listening to unexpected quirky covers of old or traditional songs, here you can see all the creativity of that genre, good job Bad Religion.
Now I have an autographed book of Greg Graffin's Punk Paradox and I'm listening to this record on vinyl right at my home! As a born again Lutheran Christian and as a street evangelist I have been praying for the band for a long time!
@@TedBundysGhost ; I have listened Bad Religion since 1982 when I heard their song on American Youth Report LP. I was an atheist (1979-1994) and was saved on the 14th of January back in 1995 after reading my Confirmation Bible and Catechism of Martin Luther. I was about to interview Bad Religion in Provinssirock 1995 like I interviewed Offspring on the 30th of August in 1994 in Tampere but I had been a Christian for such a short time, so I missed the opportunity, even though I have a press card for it.
You have been praying that the band becomes close minded and brain washed like you? wow- what a nice thing to wish on others! Are you also praying for the holy wars to commence on a world wide level as well? Typical Christian - your ignorant and arrogant and self righteous with your book of lies! You probably thought your prayers are the reason this album came out right? I reckon the album is a pisstake and also a chance to cash in on fools like you! it is meant to be a joke! you missed the joke man! Merry Christmas Dkhead!
@@SteveW84 ; I pray that Lord Jesus could save the past and the present members of the band. Jesus Christ is coming soon. Are you ready? There is heaven and hell and only salvation is found in Lord Jesus because his blood cleanses from every single sin. He died on the Cross of Golgotha because of your sins as well. Band called Crass from UK wrote that "Jesus died because of his own sins but not mine". That is a terrible lie; made by satan himself. Jesus Christ was/lived on planet earth without one single sin and he rose from the dead and lives. Holy Bible is the love letter of God and it works all the time. Read it; it will change your life and rescue from lake of fire. 28 years ago I was an atheist but Jesus saved me on the 14th of January back in 1995. Original guitarist of hard core punk fame Rattus, Jake Marjamäki, here in Finland has also been saved by Lord Jesus. So I am not the only one born again Christian with punk roots here in Finland. Read my Facebook-sites if you like: Jari Jääskeläinen, Akaa, Finland or ask me to be your friend. My sites are open for everyone. You can say what you want and do what you want but judgement day will come some time. You can't say you haven't heard the message about the man of the cross! Have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year my Bro!
Bad Religion, best ever band! Really well adapter and structured, strong renditions of somgs many of us have enjoyed since childhood. Glorious irony too. But in no way selling out
I wanna be sedated white christmasss... 😂 I still remember years ago when they released this album, the years where I'm a college student. I thought "what a fucking cool album." And now 2023 I'm still here enjoying this. MERRY HARDCORE PUNK CHRISTMAS GUYS!!! ✌🎄
I love this album. I'm a huge Bad Religion fan regardless but I'm happy they did a christmas album proper. when you take religion or spirituality out of it, regardless of what a punk band may believe, especially BR, it's more about bringing joh and happiness to people during the holiday season. That's why Christmas is one of those of holidays that is very universal and everyone can celebrate it, even if they don't believe in it. The core of it is about tidings of joy and comfort from one man/woman to another. And I know BR is all about that in terms of humanism.
Bad religion can do a cover for any song and I'd listen. But what us said is so true. Christmas is more about coming together and having a good time than Jesus. If it was about Jesus I'm pretty sure u wouldn't get presents. Ur present is that he died for u lol
@@stevengerber6171 This album's great, but the best Christmas Album is "Oi to the World" - The Vandals. It's just not necessarily safe for work or kids like this one is.

Whether you believe or not, God is empowered to confiscate and use everything usefull, why not power chords! Everything pure is usefull. But He refuses the cynicals and pathetics. Wtf. Is going on among those evangelical cruisaders in your country? Compassioned regards from Germany. Hope, my Englisch is not too ridiculous.
Yet everyone claims to be so close to the origin. Profile neurosis eats us up from inside, keeps us on the run and burns us out. This is applied religion, turning the head into a kind of old light bulb (80 % heat, 20 % light. What a waste of energy!) But the heart gets cold! Confusion! If you chill your brains, your heart is ready to burn for the right thing. And don't forget either: "Punk ain't no religious cult."
gregs voice :) is the best ever......... regardless if hes singing the pokemon them or 21st century digital boy................... its greg, u can't beat em............ like it or don't comments aren't needed if your being douchy
Worst part of the year for me but Bad Religion seems to make it better. Then again everyone has their demons, why should mine deserve more recognition in a time like this. Have a peaceful Christmas to all who reads this.
That placement of Little Drummer Boy right before God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is so hype to me for whatever reason. Honestly, I wish those two closed the album.
Otro año emborrachandose junto a un niño falso en un pesebre de yeso y un árbol de plástico. Recibiendo el nacimiento de Hutchilopoztli y de Ra con tu tío borracho y deprimido. ¡feliz Navidad!
