NO CONTROL (BAD RELIGION ALBUM)
'''No Control''' is the fourth album (and sixth release overall) by Bad Religion, which was released on November 2, 1989 (see 1989 in music) on Epitaph Records. Like their albums up to ''Generator'', ''No Control'' was remastered on April 6, 2004. The 1989 original version is now out of print.
Along with its predecessor ''Suffer'', it is often considered one of the highest selling albums in the history of punk music,[1] although the album was not charted in Billboard. Many also consider it to be the seminal work of Bad Religion[2], containing "Change of Ideas", "No Control", "I Want to Conquer the World", "Big Bang" and "You", all of which are considered the band's classics and are live show staples to this day.
Stylistically, ''No Control'' is a faster album than its predecessor, owing more to hardcore punk.
