From Wikipedia:

Into the Unknown is the second album by Bad Religion, which was released in 1983. The album was a major change from their previous style, delving into progressive rock heavy in keyboards, though it wasn't at all popular as fans at the time were confused by the sudden style shift. When the band released the 1991 compilation album 80-85, a collection of recordings before their third album Suffer, Into the Unknown was not part of the compilation, also partly due to the band changing their style.

The album is widely reputed to have been a major factor in their 1984 breakup as the recording sessions were riddled with discord. As a matter of fact, drummer Pete Finestone and bass player Jay Bentley left during the recording of the first song.

Only 10,000 of these albums were produced and distributed, but almost all were quickly returned to Epitaph's warehouse. Guitarist Brett Gurewitz jokingly recalls having "[sent out] ten thousand copies and [getting] eleven thousand back."[1] However, many did in fact end up in the hands of fans, when Brett Gurewitz's girlfriend Suzy Shaw, who worked at the warehouse, surreptitiously sold all but 300 of them. Compact cassettes were also produced, but they are rare.

The album is generally disowned by the band, and there has never been a second pressing. Despite its abandonment however, it has become highly desirable and is now something of a collector's item. The band has commented on the album on their site saying that they are not trying to hide it from fans, and that anyone who listens to it will understand why they have never re-released it.

This really isn't that different from their usual stuff they released afterwards, its just played slower. The chorus melody is rather similar to many of the songs from the 'classic' albums. This is great music, but its hard to fathom why they went from How Could Hell Be Any Worse to this kind of style. It was only going to confuse the hell out their fans haha

The live version from last year actually wouldn't sound out of place on a new album. I think what makes it sounds so dated is the 80s synth.

This album sounds about like any of their other. Just take the keyboards out and speed the song up and it would fit on any other album. Fact is that some of their best songs made it on here. I think they sound really amazing with slower song structures.

I don't think it was ahead of its time as it sounded a lot like early 70's bands actually, but I still like it as much as other BR albums. Funny how bands of today still try to emulate music like this.

despite their own hatred for this album, i like it; maybe it was just ahead of its time, although it is cheesy

esse album é podre. foi a única cagada do Bad Religion, mas ainda bem que logo depois veio Suffer, No Control e Against de Grain pra sepultar de vez essa bosta

The only thing I ever liked about BR was their first "How could hell..."; until now. This is good too!
