Latest Terrorizer (#122) includes an article about Bad Religion with Brett Gurewitz interview. Brett says that Epitaph might release limited edition cd-version of Into the Unknown for the fans. Although the band doesn't like the album he states that it shows the progress of the band. At the time many punk bands were experimenting and just what the Bad Religion also did.

The article features also a short look at 6 of the best albums: How Could Hell Be Any Worse?, Suffer, No Control, Against the GrainGenerator and The Empire Strikes First.

Rob Guest Location: Australia	Quote How about re-releasing the album as is AND newer, modernised versions of the tracks on the same CD. I think it'd appeal to more fans that way. Its a "different" album, but its not as bad as everyone makes out. give it a go! 10/14/2004 at 21:19 How about re-releasing the album as is AND newer, modernised versions of the tracks on the same CD.

Lostpunk Guest Location: Australia	Quote It would be really cool if they released it. I have a copy I made from Mp3s and the cover picture from the old BR page and I think it kicks arse, nine minute synth solos and all... Would love to be able to buy a proper copy. Favourite song is definately - Time and Disregard (The lyrics are awesome). 09/26/2004 at 12:19 It would be really cool if they released it.

It's a german band that covered the whole Into the Unknown album and "punked" it up (the LP is called the Mars Moles invite Punk Religion Back Into the Unknown). The songs are pretty good when made punk, so you know that if BR had done it it would've kicked ass. 09/03/2004 at 01:53 Anybody ever heard of the Mars Moles?

Thumb Hippo Guest Location: Global Citizen	Quote I think they should just release it for free download off the Epitaph site, or the Bad Religion site. Not that I wouldn't buy it if they released it, but I think their main reason for not re-releasing it is because, according to the Punk-o-Rama DVD, that album basically just about killed Epitaph. If they put it online for free, they wouldnt have to worry about losing money, or fans complaining about how crappy the record may sound. Just an opinion. Online or CD form, I'd love to see an official version released again. 09/03/2004 at 00:29 I think they should just release it for free download off the Epitaph site, or the Bad Religion site.

I personally like the album, although I agree that the 9-minute synthesizer solos tend to grate on one's nerves after a while. But they DO have some potentially great material on it, like "Million Days" for example. That's a great song, no matter how amuteur of a recording it is. 09/02/2004 at 22:10 I think it would be cool if the band (or at least Graffin, in his spare time, if he has such a thing) re-recorded all the songs, but "modernized" them and tweaked them a little.

Jan Guest Location: Germany	Quote @therightclique: i downloaded the album once from bad-religion.net and the quality IS great! anyway, i guess they don't have it online any more. i think it would be a good idea to re-release the album - not only for the fans. i gave my bootleg of the album to a friend who doesn't like br at all and he seemed very surprised - he listened to the album in his car for al long time. i like itu, too. and especially the keyboard! 09/02/2004 at 15:01 @therightclique: i downloaded the album once from bad-religion.net and the quality IS great! anyway, i guess they don't have it online any more. i think it would be a good idea to re-release the album - not only for the fans. i gave my bootleg of the album to a friend who doesn't like br at all and he seemed very surprised - he listened to the album in his car for al long time. i like itu, too. and especially the keyboard!

therightclique Guest Location: United States	Quote Dick, maybe you don't understand something... A.) the versions on the internet are all recordings of vinyls and sound like ass. Epitaph has all the original tapes, so we can finally hear this thing in high fidelity. B.) People like owning albums of their favorite bands. Mp3s just don't cut it for many reasons. I personally don't think the record blows. I've been saying they should re-record it in their current style. I like the melodies and music, but the keyboards and the 9 minute long songs have to change. 09/02/2004 at 02:28 Dick, maybe you don't understand something...

Dick Guest Location: Canada	Quote I'm sure that most people who would buy it have already heard it in some form, on the internet or elsewhere, so I don't see that it matters too much if they release it. As fo the record blowing, that's a matter of opinion, like any record. Might as well release it and let people make up their own minds on if it's worth owning. 09/01/2004 at 23:08 I'm sure that most people who would buy it have already heard it in some form, on the internet or elsewhere, so I don't see that it matters too much if they release it.
