BAD RELIGION - "Into the Unknown" (1983)

Artist: BAD RELIGION

Album: "Into the Unknown"

Label: Epitaph

 Year : 1983

Now rather well known, as it were, BAD RELIGION's red-headed stepchild of a second album is still out of print after almost 30 years. To be honest, I actually like this album. Not for what it's not but, rather, for what it is. It's possible to make a connection between "Into the Unknown" and the band's first album with the piano tracks and rock and roll mid tempo stuff which was sort of present on their first. But this is not a punk rock album. Think of "Signals" era RUSH along with BOSTON and DEVO. That should give you a good idea. There's lots of organ and acoustic guitar and little epic songs to delight the oldheads and wierdos. I don't know what these guys were thinking that year because they've never sounded anything like this either beforehand or for the past 30 years. Maybe they figured that punk was dead just like every other band who broke up or changed formats in 83-84. If anything, it's a pretty interesting record.

This album was never released on CD as far as I know. It's a shame. This record is so dark and ambitious. It fuses new wave, indie and the band's signature California punk rock into what I believe amounts to the band's magnum opus. It's just a shame that so few people have actually heard it. If you can get past the warped sound of the lousy analog-to-digital transfer that took place, you can hear the flow of ideas that these guys had. What a great record.
