About this album

Epitaph (2004) Released: 6 Apr 2004 14 tracks (31:07)
How Could Hell Be Any Worse? is the first full-length album released by influential punk band Bad Religion. It was financed by a $1,000 loan by guitarist Brett Gurewitz’s father. Its success surprised the band when it sold 10,000 copies in under a year. The sound of the record was vastly improved from their first release, 1981’s self-titled EP. The record was originally released as an LP in 1982 and again in 1988[1] with a different catalogue number and Epitaph’s current address. It was released on CD as part of the 1991 compilation, 80–85, and was remastered for the 2004 re-issue of this album.

How Could Hell Be Any Worse? is the band’s first album recorded with Pete Finestone on drums and also their only full-length album to date with original member Jay Ziskrout, who played drums on each track not recorded with Finestone. Though not yet credited as a member of the band, future guitarist Greg Hetson, who was in Circle Jerks during this time, also did a guitar solo on “Part III”.

    Everything after this album sounds overproduced and cookie cutter as fuck. This was the only album with serious raw passion to it.

    A great influential classic. Most songs are amazing. Too raw sound and angry singing for most listeners and maybe most BR fans, but it's one of the best BR records and one of the best in the full of great bands early 80s californian hardcore punk scene. Took some listens to fully get to it, as it was probably the first oldschool hardcore punk cd i bought, but I'm really happy I gave it the time.
