Unsane (album)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unsane was the 1991 debut album of New York noise-rock group Unsane.
[edit] Reception
Patrick Kennedy from allmusic called it a a brilliant and daring debut that "assaults the senses like the Swans or Foetus before them, but tempers that art-scum priggishness with clear roots in punk and classic rock."[1] Piero Scaruffi gave the album 8 out of 10, describing the record as "Cascades of atrocious sounds destabilized its songs and generated a form of hysterical tribalism." It would be placed at #24 on his "Best Punk-Rock Albums of All Times" list as well as selecting it as the sixth best album of 1991.[3][4]
During the tour supporting the album, Charlie Ondras died of a heroin overdose during the 1992 New Music Seminar in New York.[5]
