No Control (Bad Religion album)
No Control is the fourth album by American punk rock band Bad Religion, released on November 2, 1989 through Epitaph Records. Bad Religion began work on the album while touring in support of its previous album, Suffer (1988). No Control is stylistically faster than its predecessor, owing more to hardcore punk.
No Control brought Bad Religion a small amount of success in Southern California as the band started to gather a following. The album has sold over 60,000 copies and is often considered to be a landmark in hardcore punk. Some also consider No Control to be their finest effort, containing "Change of Ideas", "Big Bang", "No Control", "I Want to Conquer the World" and "You", all of which are staples of their live show to this day.
In a May 2012 interview, Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge revealed that his band's tenth studio album All or Nothing has inspired guitarist Brett Gurewitz to write a sequel to this album.

Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.”
—Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)
