"Recipe for Hate" was followed up by Bad Religion's eighth studio album "Stranger Than Fiction". The album met high critical reception upon its release in September 1994, and was their most successful album at the time, scoring such hits as "Stranger Than Fiction", "Infected", and a re-recording of "21st Century (Digital Boy)", which was originally released on "Against the Grain". The band also recorded the song "Leaders and Followers" (which later appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese version of "Stranger Than Fiction") for the soundtrack for the Kevin Smith film, "Clerks". The album was Bad Religion's first to enter the "Billboard" 200; the release peaked at number 87, and was awarded gold certification on March 4, 1998, for sales of over half a million copies. With the success of that album, Bad Religion became a key member of the 1990s commercial punk rock explosion, along with Green Day, The Offspring, Rancid and NOFX.
