Sing No Evil is the fourth studio album by the rock group Half Japanese, released in 1984 by Iridescence.[3][4]

Critical reception[edit]

Craig Marks, in the Spin Alternative Record Guide, wrote that the album "finds Half Jap brushing up against normalcy--traditional song structures, metaphorical lyrics--with uneven, if sometimes booming, results."[5]
