Do What You Want: The Story of Bad Religion by Bad Religion

adventurous emotional informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

As a fan, I loved this book. It's a detailed history of one of the most influential bands in punk history and canon for those interested in understanding their unique style of intellectual and subtextual songwriting. I am still always amazed by the fact that the album Suffer came out in 1988, considering its sound and lyrics remain relevant to this day, in an industry that has changed so much. I enjoyed getting to know the many parts, aka people, that have fueled this musical genius that is Bad Religion. It's candid. There are fun stories and not so fun stories. There is reflection of all the success, as well as some of the failures. There are interesting moments of great decision-making and also of disappointment. I enjoyed every minute of reading this book.
