"4 out of 5 stars. Focused and involving, Bad Brains are the only band that can sing 'Universal Peace' and make it sound like a march to war." -- OBSERVER UK
"There should be a warning label on the new Bad Brains album: Caution, Contents are Volatile. The first album in 5 years from this highly respected punk/dub band is explosive." -- Michelle Morgante, ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Build A Nation roars and throbs with vintage fire." -- SPIN
"A -! The contrast between the menacing thrash and spiritual reggae sides of the band is startling." -- BOSTON HERALD

Bad Brains released their new studio album worldwide in 2007 to critical acclaim. Adam Yauch (MCA of Beastie Boys) produced Build A Nation and it represents the first recording, aside from Beastie Boys' recordings, from the Beastie Boys' Oscilloscope laboratories.
"Build A Nation is one of the most inspiring punk albums of the last 15 years. It’s got heart and soul and integrity.” – Shavo of System Of A Down
"The thing about a lot of punk is the feeling that bands have is of apathy and hopelessness. Whereas Bad Brains lyrical content had a lot of hope in it." -- Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day
"Bad Brains... The greatest hardcore punk band." -- Tony Kanal of No Doubt
We didn't know there was another band that played as fast as us, until the Bad Brains came to town." -- Glenn Danzig of The Misfits
Considered by some to be the "holy grail" of punk rock, the Bad Brains iconic legacy is best defined by their energy, both live and in the studio. Bad Brains are one of the definitive American punk groups who garner the same respect as the Sex Pistols, Black Flag, The Clash, and the Ramones. The band brought a new dimension to music by melding punk and reggae into an innovative style that has yet-to-be copied, thank God.
