''The Dissent of Man'' is the fifteenth album by the Californian punk rock band Bad Religion, which was released on September 28, 2010. It is their first album in three years, following the release of ''New Maps of Hell'' in 2007. The band commenced writing new material in 2008, but would not begin studio work until May 2010. The writing and recording process spanned two years and was slowed down considerably by touring schedules. The album was finally finished in June 2010. Some of the material ("The Resist Stance", which originally appeared on the live album ''30 Years Live'', and an updated version of "Won't Somebody", which was a bonus track on the deluxe edition of previous album ''New Maps of Hell'') was originally performed live by Bad Religion on its 30th anniversary tour in early 2010. "The Devil in Stitches" was released as a single to accompany the release of this album, while "Cyanide" and "Wrong Way Kids" also received radio airplay. ''The Dissent of Man'' marked the first time since its formation in 1979 that a Bad Religion line-up had not changed in four consecutive studio recordings. The song "The Resist Stance" is featured in the 2010 racing video game ''Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit''. ==Background and recording== Work for ''The Dissent of Man'' dates back to June 2008, when bassist Jay Bentley revealed in an interview at the Pinkpop Festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands that guitarist Brett Gurewitz had already started writing new material for the next Bad Religion album. He also revealed that Bad Religion was planning to return to the studio after frontman Greg Graffin teaches UCLA to start work on the album planned for a June 2009 release.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Bad Religion looks ahead to 2009 album )〕 However, in December 2008, Bentley revealed that, due to Bad Religion's upcoming touring commitments for 2009, the band would not have a chance to record their new album until around the end of the year, for an expected 2010 release date.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bad Religion to release next album in 2010? )〕 In December 2009, Bentley revealed to the fan site The Bad Religion Page that the band was expected to go into the studio on April 26, 2010 to start recording their new album. He stated that a few songs for the album had been written and "it feels like the songwriting is picking up momentum. Baker said he was going to drive up to Graffin's, Brooks and I are going to do some demos with Brett, so we have a pretty good jump."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bad Religion plans to hit the studio in April for a fall release )〕 In the following month, Bentley revealed that Bad Religion would record their new album at a studio in Pasadena, California with Joe Barresi, who produced ''New Maps of Hell'' and engineered its 2004 predecessor ''The Empire Strikes First''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Minor League news #12 )〕 Despite the statement made by Bentley about entering the studio in April, he noted that the recording date was now May 1.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2/16/2010–2010 Album diary )〕 On April 6, 2010, Bentley revealed in an interview with KROQ's Kevin and Bean that the date on which the band would record their new album was now May 6.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bad Religion on KROQ – Download available + pics )〕 On May 12, 2010 (Gurewitz's 48th birthday), Bentley posted an update on their Facebook page regarding the recording process of the album: In an interview at the Azkena Rock Festival in Spain on June 26, 2010, Wackerman and Bentley revealed that the album would be called ''The Dissent of Man'' and would be released on September 28.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New album title revealed! )〕 On July 27, 2010, anyone who was a member of the Bad Religion mailing list received a link showing the album art and song list.
