      I do love this album !
      Just try to listen to it without expecting their usual sound.
      It was criticized for being a prog rock album, I don't agree because it is fresh and catchy.

        It’s a very good album in its own right. Obviously, it’s hard to weigh it versus anything else in their discography because it’s such an outlier, but think of it as a side project as opposed to comparing it to, say, Against the Grain and there’s plenty here to like. The keyboards were quickly banished, but the harmony vocals stuck around. I’ll agree with another reviewer that TSOL did this sort of thing better on Beneath the Shadows, but this ain’t half bad.

          This record is fantastic. This and HOW CAN HELL BE ANY WORST are the yin and yang of Bad Religion. Love them both.

            I’ve been a fan of BR since No Control - Against The Grain era. I have debated buying this over the years. To those who love it, I’m sorry but No Control is the best BR album, from opening kick drum to the final strums. This is experimental. The Manhattan Project had quite a few experiments before ‘success.’ Now TSOLs Beneath The Shadows deserves a decent New Wave experiment argument.

                Be careful guys, there's a lot of people in the marketplace claiming that they are selling a mint original press when it could possibly be the bootleg (Bad Religion - Into The Unknown) from 2018.
                The concerning part is a lot of them are putting a tag on these for $200, so triple check who is selling it so you make sure you're not getting ripped off!

                  They never made an official CD release of this? Why does this band pretend that their best album ever doesn't exist? It's a shame, because it's the only one of their CDs that I'd actually buy. They don't even have it available as a digital . I guess they don't want my money.

                    Where did the official release go? Why isn't it listed anymore?

                      Curious, is it even possible to find a copy of this without the corner cut?
