We're back to regularly-scheduled programming! Last month’s poll featured ten bands that hadn’t yet had a full-album review, so today, it finally lined up for another Patreon repeat artists poll!

As I've said, I'll always group repeat artists together in the same polls as much as I can. A Wilhelm Scream's Partycrasher is also back after landing in second place in July's poll.

I understand that repeat artists can sometimes be frustrating, but digging deeper into the bands that made me fall in love with this scene to begin with feels like a worthwhile pursuit. It offers valuable context on each band’s various eras and fills in a lot of blanks about how they’ve progressed along the punk rock timeline, and alongside each other. For me, this is important stuff! 🤓🤌

This poll will be open through Monday, September 22nd, and the winning album's episode will be posted on Wednesday, October 1st!

*Please remember that I'm only considering albums that contain songs I've already covered on YouTube or Patreon. Requests have closed for this month, but will reopen on October 10th, 2025.

Joost Peters

An impossible choice this month 😩

Griffin O'Connor

Anthem is such a different feel compared to Hello Rockview, and has some amazing bangers as well. I gotta vote for it!

Mac Thompson

I love all of these albums and would love to see a review for each…but I’ve been holding out for more Wilhelm Scream! Let’s go!

Gav Chap

All good choices, but Stranger Than Fiction is maybe Bad Religion's best record, and the others, although great, aren't the best record by the artists.

oscar johnson

Stranger than fiction for sure. Potemkin is a great album, but so much propagandhi has been done. Wilhelm is my absolute favorite band but feel like bad religion needs a little more love

DrippingPuddles

I feel like I'm on the outside with this opinion, but I've always found Stranger than Fiction to be one of their more boring albums. I can't put my finger on why, though. Stranger Than Fiction to New America are the least played albums from Bad Religion, for me.

Mariana

Me all excited BR Stranger than Fiction is not up against Twisted by Design 😁😁😁 Me realizing a second later that’s up against Propagandhi 😒😒😒 Guys when in doubt vote Stanger than Fiction 😉

Jerry P

The album that got me into Bad Religion!

Kyle Adamski

This is a nearly impossible list to choose from. Every single album is a winner.

J Reid

My fav Wilhelm album vs my favorite nofx album. Hmm..

Peter Del Villano

PCL is my favourite Prop album - so in no timeline am I not voting for it. But not to be contentious, but I'd vote for any of the others over Stranger than Fiction, so strange to me that it's in the lead. Maybe I'm just out of touch with the BR albums people like lol

Andrew Rigney

Wish a Fugazi album was on there!

Punk Astronaut

Pump up the Valium... my 1st punk album ever 😋 Its not their best but Id be so happy to see it. I'll never forget the feelings it gave me at 12 years old

Guy

So many bangers, its going to be a close one! I'd be happy with any of those.

Justin Paden

God dammit!!! Too many good albums to choose from.

Moony
>>187272982

Agree! I still find it baffling how underrated and underappreciated this album is. To me it's by far their best.

Dallin Coons

This poll is really uninteresting. Let’s do some classic punk or post-punk. Let’s do some Wire, or Siouxie and the Banshees. Let’s do some more Clash, or Buzzcocks, or the Damned. Stranglers have some great bass lines. Bad Brains are on another plane altogether. There’s so much interesting stuff out there - so much variety, but we’re still focused on this one specific brand of 90’s punk.

Nick Meurer

Stranger Than Fiction is the album of all those listed in the poll that I would say I've listened to the most over the years and one I still continually go back and listen to today. It's not going to blow anyone away on technicality and musicianship, but it's an absolute punk rock classic. It gets my vote, though these are all great albums.

Ray Dweck

Damn lol. This'll be an interesting two-horse race I'm thinking. My personal preference would be for something earlier by Prop at this stage (specifically Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes) and the BR isn’t my fave, but still I'm thinking of going with BR. Some great songs on that album including the title track, "The Handshake," etc (though I wish Mark could hear the Against the Grain version of "21st Century Digital Boy" first lol) and also it is worth hearing as a turning point for the band if exploring their catalog

PRDinPDX

Hmm, not exactly the poll I was expecting this month, but no doubt that these are all fantastic choices so no matter the winner, it’s definitely gonna be us who win.

Jon Person

Presumably the top two will get reactions. Potemkin and runner up.

Quote Unquote Sir

I was going to request "Die Jugend Marschiert (America's Army)™" for December because I think it's my favourite song of 2005 (celebrating the 20th anniversary!), but now I don't have to do that anymore. Thanks, Mark! I'll just post some things I was going to say in the request for the song... I admire Propagandhi for having the balls to make a song like this that could risk alienating a lot of people. An anti-military song seems risky to me, knowing that there is so much patriotism over the military in America. And they not only criticized the military for exploiting young people, they provocatively did it by comparing this to Hitler taking advange of children with his "Hitler Youth" movement! The comparison is made explicit by the clip of a Hitler Youth choir singing in the song's intro. In addition to admiring the lyrical audacity of the song, I also love what's happening in it instrumentally. That riff they play between singing parts is one of the most badass things I've ever heard.

Ian

Pump Up The Valium would be raddddd🔥🔥🔥🙏🏼

Chris J

I don't really know most of these albums enough to get excited for them, except Stranger Than Fiction

CJ LoBaido

That just ain’t fair…too many good choices.

CJ LoBaido

What a big surprise…Prop leading the way as always…

Robert Ramirez

Pump up the Valuum would be great to hear but, what song from that album did Mark listen to? I don't recall any songs from there that he's heard. He's done 2 songs from Coaster, he listened to Idiots are Taking Over and did a full album on that, and a couple other EP songs. Regardless, it would be cool for him to hear. It'll probably be the only album he listens to completely blind.

Robert Ramirez

I hope AWS wins, but I am definitely leaning more towards the Bad Religion or NOFX boats over Propagandhi. This'll be the 5th Propagandhi album on this channel.

Low End University
>>187297216

I heard "Herojuana" on the last Mixtape episode, and plan to include songs from those as well in my full-album considerations. However, I knew if I put NOFX on last month's poll (featuring all songs from past mixtapes), it would've won by a landslide, so I saved it for this repeat artists poll!

Josh

So much olllld bad religion, so much more to discover!

Gamer's Tavern

Stranger Than Fiction is the album that got me into punk music as a teenager.

Ghettobrown

I did just listen to a cassette of pump up the valum that i found and was pleasantly suprised of all the songs i had forgotten about but A Wilhelm Scream has so much more technicality it would be fun to see them blow your mind and melt your face off.

C C

this is my favorite propagandhi record but i am really tired of seeing punks treat them like gods

Ceej Luige

I see a lot of ppl complaining they want more older groups and I’m out here hoping to get to some newer ones. PCL is a great album but I feel like we’ve beaten that era of prop to death. I’d love to see a reaction to How to clean everything and then let Mark listen to the rest of the albums on his own. I know I’m in the minority, but that’s just my take. I’m gonna go with BR just because I know alot of ppl on here are sick of NOFX also, but PUTV does have alot of bangers on it.

Aukai Ligairi
>>187278663

Could get behind Bad Brains or any DC band. They were ahead of everyone else. But I do think this “specific brand of 90s punk” generally elevated the genre.

Mihael Dreo

Ugh i don't want Mark to listen to My vagina or Louise so i can't really vote for NOFX . Not voting Propagandhi. As it's been mentioned he'll review all their albums anyway. Don't like Anthem's sound that much. Bad religion it is.

CM

I think people are voting for Pump Up The Valuum "because NOFX", but man that is a tough album to like. There are some fun songs on there (ex: Dinosaurs Will Die, Thank God It's Monday, Stranger Than Fishin'), but there are incredibly terrible ones too. If I was going to introduce someone to NOFX, this album would be very low on my list. I listened to this album as a teenager, and I liked it. However, it does not age well out of that mindset. Also, the albums sounds incredibly overproduced. I don't know what they did on it, but it's very distracting.

Moony

Definitely Potemkin City Limits, with Pump Up The Valuum being a close second. I think Stranger Than Fiction is one of Bad Religion's least interesting albums from their 90s era, but it seems to be winning. Meh. And I'm sorry, but I personally can't stand ska music (no disrespect though) and I've had to skip a lot of reaction videos lately because of that, so yeah...

Aacc

The flatliners - cavalcade on the poll next month though, right?

Adam Linder

Would have loved to see Partycrasher but alas. Better luck to Ruiner when its turn comes

Chris

Please god I really hope Potemkin wins! Nofx, bad religion and Wilhelm are all top 5 bands for me so I don’t say this lightly…but as someone who has watched every video religiously for a couple years, I can say that watching Mark’s backwards journey through the Prop catalogue has been my favourite element. And I can’t speak for him obviously, but I feel like his falling in love with Prop and working back to their roots has probably been a big highlight for him too. Let’s think of Mark! 😂🤘

Chris
>>187338340

Plus the Speculative Fiction video was easily one of his best and most excited I’ve seen Mark for a while. This full album has lots of bass to chew on but also is a little more straightforward for him to latch onto.

David

if it stays close can we get a bonus reaction?

David A Sabala

I’m a pretty big NOFX fan, but Pump up the Valium is pretty bad. I got the CD as a cringy teen, and it was still too cringy for me. What’s worse, its just lackluster. If I was trying to get someone to like NOFX I would avoid it. “Theme” is the only song from there I’d save. Can anyone tell me a good thing about this album?

Ray Dweck

It does look like Pump Up the Valium won't win anyway (even with 8 days left--I think the leaders may often be established pretty early on). I think Mark could still have fun with it and appreciate it, but I get because there are only one of these a month that people feel an urge to speak up about their disapproval of the choice (especially fans of the band). NOFX is not a band I am *quite* as into as, say, a number of the Fat Wreck Chords bands (thank you Mike for signing them) but admittedly I haven't heard like maybe half or so of their albums and actually my appreciation could grow with more listening. Atm, I think So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes is the best NOFX album I've heard--definitely depending on what else is on the poll I could vote for that.

Shaun McCarthy

Melodic hardcore all day, every day.

Mihael Dreo
>>187347122

It is in the top3 for many many fans, but we haven't had any luck in getting a song from it picked to get it in the vote.

Mihael Dreo
>>187343968

Well Herojuana that Mark listened too is a good song. And Bottles to the ground and Dinosaurs too. And i personally i love Thank god it's Monday. But the rest is mostly meh.

Nina Daggett

I voted Suicide Machines and then saw they are last, so may switch my vote later to one of the top two

Guy

I'm torn between NOFX and Prop! what might be cool for Bad Religion is to get one of the live versions of these two songs from All Ages 'Do What You Want' or 'Fuck Armageddon' on the requests - then All Ages could be up for a full album review which in my opinion is their best one. I generally find with their albums that there are 5 or 6 bangers and the rest is not quite so good.

Jeff Harstead

He’s heard enough nofx, he’s heard plenty of propaghandi which are one of my faves. You’ve heard one bad religion album you’ve heard them all. He has not heard enough wilhelm, come on!

Ceej Luige

Something for all the anti prop ppl to consider: the album is gonna get voted in eventually, let’s just all vote for it and get it out of the way. Fiction isn’t an album worth pushing prop back for when Twisted by design and the flatliners are gonna be up next month. Just one man’s take.

ryan mcgrath

I had to change my vote. If the album I voted for isn’t going to win I’d rather vote for another propagandhi video than another bad religion video.

Matthew Pucci

I would like to request a bonus double album feature after today’s YouTube drop SKADREAM vs NODREAM by Jeff Rosenstock

Jonathon

I like all of these bands, but would love to see more variety in the genres here. How do we get more proto-punk, post-hardcore, post-punk, noise rock, new wave, metal, or indie rock bands to show up in this list? More monthly song requests from bands in those genres, right?

Aacc
>>187395446

Same thoughts here. Only thing that really changes with bad religion albums is some of the members and production.

Aacc
>>187388505

This Propagandhi album is tuned in standard though, which is a thing mark mentioned wanting to hear

Steve E

Mark hasn't heard my favorite NoFX album ( White Trash ) or my favorite BR album ( Recipe For Hate ) until then I will keep voting one or the other depending on what they are going against. This time I actually went with AWS but will prob flip to BR at some point.

Quote Unquote Sir
>>187438466

Good call about NOFX. My favourites are "White Trash, Two Heebs, and a Bean" and "So Long and Thanks For All the Shows." I was lucky enough to be at one of the final tour shows that had them trying to play both albums in full. The fact that they picked those two to play from start to finish makes me think they're aware of how beloved these albums are. I'm not sure if they did every single song, but at least most of them.

Robert Bundy

Potemkin City Limits! Strager Than Fiction should certainly be next

Floyd Hill

PCL, the album I waited for, so so long, the soundtrack to when I moved from my hometown to do my master's degree in Montreal, 2005, depressing year outright, Bush, Iraq War, that album made me feel sane, somebody else was singing stuff about thoughts I was having in a lot of different subjects, and the songs started getting more complex then, first time Chris started to use guitar doubling and it made some songs from it very difficult to play live without a second guitar, hence Dave "the Beaver" Guillas entry in the band in 2007 (for the better!). Also Todd is showing that he can play slower moodier songs for the first time, and even one of his song has organ in it courtesy of Chris Brown (who also plays organ at the end of "Iteration" (one of my favorite Prop track, they always nail closers perfectly, it still gives me shivers in my spine when I take the time to listen to it carefully with quality headphones. That same Chris Brown play clarinet for a little while in Fixed Frequencies too, another amazing song with an amazing old school hardcore breakdown out of nowhere mid-song, that fuckin' lands one Jord smashes that floor tom...."HUMAN IMPEDIMENTS!!!!"

Floyd Hill
>>187368399

Those songs aren't from "All Ages" as "All Ages" is a compilation. One song is from Suffer the other from their first LP How Could Hell Be Any Worse?

Floyd Hill
>>187316142

STF is pretty good imo, it's when Greg showed he could only one album to himself (with Brian Baker, hardcore/punk legend who replaced Brett, (he was in Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, and a slew of other East Coast Hardcore/early 80's emocore bands like Dag Nasty and others too) who helped out and made The Grey Race the last real good BR album until 2002's Process, he couldn't write a full album by himself, see "No Substance", it was a "no rules" kind of session, and it landed 2 good songs and even those they don't play live "Hear It" and another one I forgot, The New America is not bad but then they went completely the other side, hired 70's rock legend Todd Rundgren to be their producer and poor Bobby's drumming was bad on the few fast tracks on it, that shoulder injury was showing, but at least it had a few fun tunes still, I'm a sucker for "I Love My Computer", such prophecy. But Brett coming back without kicking Brian out and Brooks Wackerman replacing Bobby gave them a drummer who was much younger and had skill set they never had before and rejuvenated BR from 2002 to 2014, after he left and then Greg Hetson left, it's when I decided True North was the final BR album, the singles I heard in advance of Age of Unreason were pretty meh, now thats an album that makes Stranger Than Fiction seem like a masterpiece and in the right mood, it kind is "until then....better off dead, a smile on the lips and a hole in the head...", the bass is intense on some songs, but Better Off Dead? Jay is driving it entirely. But I still vote for Propagandhi because that's one of my top 5 favorite album ever, nevermind Mark's refined tastes made him appreciate them very quickly.

Quote Unquote Sir
>>187343212

I can see that happening. Streetlight Manifesto and Propagandhi were neck and neck on a previous poll, so he reviewed the winner first and then did the other in a bonus episode soon after.

Jason Humphreys

Bad Religion. Other than that.... No. Just no. That's also a mediocre album. If we're going that route again... SUFFER! Punk rock didn't start and end in the 90s with the same five bands on the same two labels. Okay. I'm an a-hole. But Naked Raygun! Poison Idea!

hernandie bayu efrian

I'm voting for the album Stranger Than Fiction. It's not because of Jay Bentley's bass lines, but because Bad Religion is my all-time favorite band and Infected is my fav song. To be honest, I don't think there's anything special about Jay Bentley's bass playing technique, other than his steady, high-speed down picking. You can see so many bass covers of "American Jesus" on YouTube, but none of them sound close to the original. That's because they use alternate picking, while Jay uses down picking throughout the whole song. Still, I'll always respect him. He's a great bassist, a great backing vocalist, and he has amazing energy on stage every time Bad Religion performs. He's the only member of the band who never seems to get old.

Drums McGee
>>187625041

Let's not forget writing credits on The positive aspect of negative thinking, which short as it may be, is still a classic kickass BR classic.

MrBD

I think Bad Religion have had enough exposure, they're a good band but a wee bit overrated in my opinion.

Aacc

Noo cmon prop

Rusty shackelford

Please Nofx, Less Than Jake, or Suicide Machines. Stranger than fiction is boring, the other 3 are way more creative. And no more propagandhi

CJ LoBaido

Stranger Than Fiction is somewhat of an iconic album for Bad Religion in the 90’s. Yes, Suffer is still the best BR album and very iconic too, but when you have 17 albums spanning 40 years, it takes some time to get to it all. I think Mark will enjoy this album as it’s a very well done album and not boring at all. Special guest appearance by Tim Armstrong too.

Erik Naatus

DO THE HAND THAT THIEVE BY STREETLIGHT!!!!

Robert Ramirez

Whoever wins, please keep A Wilhelm Scream in the polls. That album is great and another good bass album.

Jonathon
>>187581012

Totally agree. Punk rock is WAY more diverse than just EpiFat bands. I'd love to see Mark react to some Poison Idea or Naked Raygun, or other punk classics like Black Flag, Fear, Circle Jerks, Zero Boys, or Die Kreuzen.

CJ LoBaido

I kinda want it to end in a dead heat…we’ve never had that before. I wonder how it would be handled.

Quote Unquote Sir
>>187839886

Incredibly, it's not eligible yet because no song from it has ever won in the monthly requests. We need to all agree on which song from there Mark should review before he can get to "The Hands That Thieve." Personally, I'm partial to "The Littlest Things." I would like to see "The Hands That Thieve" reviewed too, so he'll have all the previous Streetlight Manifesto albums reviewed by Mark before the new one comes out. As far as I know, it's still expected to come out at some point this year, although I don't think a new release date has been announced yet.

Gordie Shoemaker

As much as I love Potemkin city limits and it’s unreal , I think partycrasher is a better album!

Quote Unquote Sir

No matter who wins the poll, I think it's inevitable now that the Bad Religion album is getting a reaction video. When it does, I hope Mark includes that hilarious comment from quote unquote Greg Graffin. 😄

PRDinPDX
>>187903176

Didn’t one month come within like, 3 votes or something ridiculously close? Can’t remember which, maybe A Wilhelm Scream’s,” Career Suicide” got close with something else…? I know it happened some time lol.

PRDinPDX

Percentage wise, we are tied with 15 hours to go. Insane!!

Juan Manuel Morales

Ooook, Mark. Now that’s official, here’s a couple of things about Stranger Than Fiction you might want to know: This is the first album of their Atlantic Records era. They signed to a major label and Mr. Brett left the band to focus on Epitaph Records because he thought they would hit mainstream and become huge, and managing his label at the same time would be impossible. They later claimed this was a huge mistake because just a few months later The Offspring’s Smash sold millions of records… right on Epitaph and he was able to handle it. Rancid and NOFX exploded later too, not to the same extents as The Offspring, but pretty good for an independent label anyway. For a tiny margin they would’ve probably never left Epitaph, had they known what was coming for punk rock. Brett left as soon as the record was done and Brian Baker (Minor Threat) joined; he’s even in the official video of Incomplete. Speaking of videos, they have multiple official videos for this record (Incomplete, 21st Century, Stranger than fiction, and Infected – with guest star Eric Estrada from CHIPS!); you know, being in a big label that’s trying to make them famous. The last track, 21st Century Digital Boy is a new recording (on a different key) from 1990’s Against the Grain and became one of the fan’s favorites. And Tim from Rancid sings in Television! That’s it for now, I guess… thank you for doing one of my favorite albums of all time! I started listening to it when I was like 12 🤯

Drums McGee
>>188184462

The song Television also has a rare outsider co-writing credit, from Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blone. Johnette did guest vocals on. Struck a nerve, from their previous Recipe for Hate album. She also happens dto be a kcikass bass player/lead singer in her own right, and should definitely be featured at some point on this channel.

Mac Carlsen

So pumped you’re doing RX bandits. You will love them. Need the and the battle begun full album review. It’s a masterpiece

Jay

I'd like to propose The Offspring - Smash on your list of albums to listen to. Similar to Rancid's And Out Come the Wolves... and Green Day's Dookie, it's a landmark album loaded with energy and great songs.
