"Age of Unreason is a mission statement for 2019 from a band that's made a history of mission statements in dire times. Whereas Bad Religion albums of the recent past boasted the same lyrical intelligence, moral high ground, and instrumental punk rock splendor, some of these albums felt like they melded into one another. There was something missing. There was a certain fire, a certain immediacy, and certain urgency of purpose that seemed to have waned a bit with age. Not so with Age of Unreason. It's as if Donald Trump's America has reignited a spark in the veteran band that had remained dormant since at least the latter Bush era".
