Agreed, but I don't think this is even close to being BR's worst album

i respect a young band taking an ambitious left turn like this, but i couldnt in good conscience recommend this album to anyone lol



i definitely respect it more than i would aging punk rockers farting out the same old same old for a 10th or 15th time or whatever

the virgin punks who hate it for not being punk enough vs the chad park who thinks the ""prog"" elements are bad and drawing from one of the worst trends of the 80s

The best-known representation of this would be the Neo-Prog movement in full swing at this time. This was an attempt to posit prog as a contemporary music played on modern musical instruments, shorn of the embarassing excesses of the 1970s. Of course the embarassing excesses were what made prog in the first place, and so the results of the neo-prog movement became mired in mediocrity, but I think it's easy to mistake the results for the intent and incorrectly assume that mediocrity is what these bands were aiming for.



So if "Into the Unknown" turns out to not be a particularly good record, one needs to bear in mind that most prog made in 1983 was not very good either. (It's worth wondering if Bad Religion would've turned into Cheer-Accident simply by making this record five years later.) One could almost see this lineup of Bad Religion on a double-bill with IQ.
