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. No songs of the album would turn into live staples with the exception of Raise Your Voice which is occasionally played live in Germany due to Campino's involvement in the recording of the song.
The actress on the album cover is Kristen Johnston, most famous for her two-time Emmy Award-winning role as Sally Solomon in the television series 3rd Rock from the Sun.
