No Substance
No Substance is the tenth full-length album by the punk rock band Bad Religion. It was the band's third (or fourth, if the reissue of Recipe for Hate is counted) release on Atlantic Records, and their second studio album since guitarist Brett Gurewitz's departure.
No Substance was anticipated by both music critics and fans as a result of the band's previous worldwide successes with their 1994 major label debut Stranger Than Fiction and its 1996 follow up The Gray Race. The album has been met with mixed reviews and was not as successful as band's past releases. The album was re-released by Epitaph Records on September 15, 2008.

Notes

- If you dial the 800 number, it will link through to ConAgra Foods customer service.
- On the vinyl release, Campino sings alternating lines on "Raise Your Voice". On the CD version, he only provides backing vocals.
