“Into the Unknown” by Bad religion - 1983

If you know Bad Religion, you’ll understand why I chose this one. I wasn’t alive when it came out but I’m sure the people who grabbed it when it came out were probably like “wtf?!!”

They went in a weird direction after their debut, people apparently hated it, they broke up, they disassociated themselves from the album, only playing some of the material in recent shows, have never repressed it except for the box set, then came back 5 years later with probably the fasted punk album they could’ve conjured.

Is it a good album? I mean… you tell me. Is it a good Bad Religion album? Definitely no. But as a snapshot in music history, and a young band trying something, new it’s pretty rad and I’m glad I have an original copy still in the shrink. 5/10.
