Sobre el álbum
El segundo álbum de la banda, Into the Unknown, es el trabajo más infame, desconcertante y, durante mucho tiempo, repudiado de su carrera. En un giro completamente inesperado, Bad Religion abandona el hardcore punk de su debut para, en su lugar, sumergirse en un rock progresivo dominado por los teclados y los sintetizadores. El grupo crea una especie de ópera rock de ciencia ficción con un sonido muy característico de principios de los ochenta.
Por consiguiente, el álbum fue recibido con un rechazo casi unánime por parte de su base de fans, que no entendió este cambio radical. La controversia generada por el disco provocó la primera disolución de la banda poco después de su lanzamiento. "Into the Unknown" se convirtió en una rareza de coleccionista. Pese a todo, hoy se ve como un fascinante y valiente error, la prueba de la inquietud de una banda que nunca temió arriesgarse.

Letra
The systems of life hum accordingly Every day, every year, every century But, everywhere humans go things get worse Cant you tell through the smoke in the dirty city The jungle was once a tranquil hideaway For the kind of trees and the mountains themselves But man those things sell a million dollars a pound Cut them up, dry them out, good display for the shelves Why cant we just leave them alone? Who is the animal? Who is that dangerous beast? Why were the other ones made? I know it wasnt just for our feast And now theyre down to 250 lone souls Theyre a breed of a losing generation it seems The killers are ourselves so you know who to blame It was man with his plan and his frightening greed I dont think well ever leave them alone. - Million Days
Letra
When youre sitting alone, frown and groan Over your bad day When youre laughing with peers Forget your years, then be on your way But don't forget, all the while That youve crossed the social mile And a million days is worth one good laugh But don't forget, all the while That youve crossed the social mile And a million days is worth one good laugh. - The Dichotomy
Letra
Hey did you find the pieces your mentor left behind? And did you care, did you trade his genius for your dispair? Did you walk the line? Did you see the mongrels on either side? Did greasy finers grasp for pieces of your mind? - Billy Gnosis' 'Time and Disregard
- Chasing the Wild Goose
- It's Only Over When...
