American Lesion: Difference between revisions
JohnRahmani (talk | contribs) m There is no record that this album was re-released in 2008. Though there have been attempts made. |
There seems to be no re-release (or maybe not yet, i.e. as of August 2019) of this album at Epitaph Records, so far it looks like the only release is the one released at Atlantic Records in 1997. |

American Lesion is a solo album by Greg Graffin, the lead singer of the punk band Bad Religion. Like the album Into the Unknown, this album is a massive departure for Graffin, whose songs generally revolve around loud guitars and harmonies. American Lesion for the most part features Graffin's voice alone, and each song features acoustic guitar or piano rather than electric guitars. The song "Cease" (track 6 on this album) is a slow piano ballad that is also featured on Bad Religion's album The Gray Race as a fast-paced punk rock song.
The lyrical content can also be seen as a departure for Graffin. In most Bad Religion songs, he deals with subjects such as mass globalisation or world pollution. The songs on American Lesion are much more personal; the songs were apparently written about the breakup of his marriage, making the album poignant.[2]
