wonderful album, not sure it needed much remastering, but bonus tracks are always great.  Oh, and taxes from US to EU are killing me.  next time i'll be locally.

this is an very imaginative CD... can't believe it's orginally released in the early 90's

I was 16 when I bought this, and took it to my San Fernando valley job which was cooking fried chicken at a restaurant with other teens like me.  We could play whatever music we wanted.  This tape was played over and over again.  There is something about this album which completely captures the 80's like very, very few albums do.  Every track is strong.  Simple Minds never came close to duplicating this effort.  I would rank it next to U2's War and the Police Zenyata Mondata as for comprehensive strength with no fillers, as well as very similiar sounding, via the era. there are some real chestnuts out there from the early 80s and this is definately a shame if it as overlooked as I suspect.  It definately bolstered Kroq radio in the 83/84 span.  I just listened to all of the samples for the 1st time in a long while, and smiled cause the songs hold up.  Great voice, drums, and energy from a band that truly peaked, if only for a moment.

Definitely one of the albums of the year. I listen to it non-stop. It's basically very 80s music (synthesiser, keytar and Volkswagen GTI) with a definite 90s house twist. It sounds great especially track 4  "Hypnotize" where you feel that you're back in 1986 and yet it  sounds brilliant. Do not hesitate, buy this album, you will not regret it!

One word can symbolize the entire early 90's hard rock scene... Grunge.  I know, I know, I hate the term, but it's what it was.  And the crown jewel of the 90's grunge era, was infact, with out a doubt, Nirvana's "Nevermind."  Track after track, riff after riff, and drum hit after drum hit, the album gains momentum towards the late half of the album.  Not very many cd's can claim that to this day.  I have always broken this album into 2 parts; the Radio half, and the unheard half.  Most people heard of Nirvana through radio, and only listened to those, Radio Songs.  But listen to tracks 7 through 12 again, and be amazed like I am everytime I hear the album.  I'm not saying that 1 through 6 are weak, just 7 through 12 have more substance.  I am a HUGE Nirvana fan, but sadly, this album isn't their best work.  But still, 5 out of 5 is what this masterpiece deserves.
  The great tracks of this cd are the lesser known one's.  'Drain You' is an extremely powerful song with lyrics that really make you think.  And 'Lounge Act' is a track that just screams raw rock.  I highly suggest people purchase this album.  It is, and always will be, a part of music history.  This album, brought Hard Rock back to the front of mainstream music.  Where it belongs.

Simply one of the greatest albums of the 80s; a true hidden treasure of sorts, and one of my all time favorite bands. Anyone I turned this album onto loved it. Also, on a bit of an odd note, Riot has the song "Run For Your Life" on this album; then on a later disc, with Mark Reale as only original member, they had a different song with the same title. Never saw that before. R(ock).I.P. Guy Speranza...

So many great albums were released in the 90s it was bound to happen that a few deserving ones would get overshadowed. This one did. Despite having 4 top 20 singles, New Miserable Experience isn't mentioned among the great albums of the era, nor the Gin Blossoms among the great bands. They both should be. The songwriting is here:, the vocals, riffs and rythyms top to bottom, ranging from good to classic. Some songs, like Found Out About You are aggressive, uptempo and fun. The ballads like Unil I Fall Away are slower, beautiful and powerful without being cheesy. There are NO bad songs on this whole album. "Hey Jealousy" was the biggest hit but "Last Horizons", "29" "Pieces of the Night" are also incredible but got no attention. "Until I Fall Away", "Found Out About You" and "Allison Road" were also all over radio. This album is a great 90s workout in soulful garage rock. Enough talk, get this CD, roll down the car windows, crank it up and let the good times roll!

This album was my introduction to the band's music and it still has major rotation in my collection.  It provides a great introduction to thier music and writing abilities.  With lyrics that are very introspective (Windmills), Humerous (Stupid),  and very personal (Fly From Heaven), you will find the songs taking you on a journey which you were glad to make.  The band's sound is distincly their own and will stand, for quite some time, as being one of the most influential bands of the 90's.  Be careful not to lend this CD out to anybody, you may not get it back. Trust me...I had to do this before.
Enjoy!!!

This album is one of my favorite albums to come out of the decade that was the 1990s. I was fortunate to grow up listening to a rock radio station that was more than a mere jukebox and actually had the guts to give occasional airplay to two of the songs from this album. "T.A.I.L." is an eery, awesome song with a sweet guitar solo. "For a Wounded Wren" is a haunting ballad. "Mutate Me" is heavy with some nice wails provided by vocalist Richie Birkenhead. I simply cannot say enough good things about this excellent album and if there was any justice in the world, it would have sold more albums than Sixteen Stone (Bush) and Jagged Little Pill (Alanis Morissette) combined.

I was delighted to learn, years later, that Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage formed a groovy band Seemless, named after this very album. If I am not mistaken, Into Another has its roots in the New York hardcore underground, in case you care.

If you like Into Another, here are other some other awesome '90s bands that you probably never heard of, but might enjoy: Handsome, Sven Gali, I Mother Earth, God Lives Underwater, Quicksand.

This record was head and shoulders above most everything available in '96 when it was released and it is way better than most of today's schlock that gets so much attention.  A big departure (return to form?) after 12 Haunted Episodes (which is a very different record, but also VERY much worth owning.)
It's a shame that gp never has gotten the recognition he deserves.  This is intelligent and danceable music.  There are numerous excellent songs on the record, but "Obsessed with Aretha" is, alone, worth the price of the disc, if you can find it.

This, along with "The Crow" soundtrack, is no doubt 1 of the best soundtracks of the 90's.  You can't go wrong with the best bands of the 90's on 1 cd.  Chris Cornell's track is absolutely dreamy, & the  Mother Love Bone track is great too.  I can hardly say 1 bad thing about  this cd except does anyone know where on earth that Lovemongers song  appears?? I've watched that movie tons of times & have never heard it.  I think they could've added the Cult track, although it didn't really fit,  but neither did the Hendrix track.  Either way, this cd rules.

i heard this album around '95 because a classmate thought i should listen to bad habit.  this became one of my favorites for years.  this is the album that got my back into music.  most people say dookie was better.  i disagree.  smash should make it onto more top albums of the 90's lists.  standouts include gotta get away, genocide, not the one, smash, nitro, hell the whole freaking album.  you want to listen to an amazing punk album by this one from the 90's buy this one.  you won't be disappointed.  end of story.

My buddy brought this album over (in '99) when it was release.  It didn't leave my CD player for over a year... and 9 years later, I still here things I've never heard before.  Producer Mark Trombino played a big roll in bringing this album to life and IMHO it is his finest work.  This album was way ahead of its time.  Less poppy than their following albums but more creative with so much more depth.
If your first J.E.W. experience was "The Middle", it may take you a few listens to get into it... but trust me, you will get hooked.

One of the most underrated and best albums to come out of the 90s. It's so sad that this was all we got, but it's good enough. Every track here is brilliant and unique, none of which have lost their edge 11 years later, and it continues to shock me how few people give it its due. Staley is as good as his best vocals with AiC ("Dirt"). This is also McCready at his absolute finest, and look for a nice appearance by Mark Lanegan. Eerie, haunting, beautiful. This is an essential album.

Nirvana are an excellent band. Their sound was a mix of classic,punk, and blues rock that was very original. Of course, this sound has been imitated countless times since then, but Nirvana did it best. Now look what we have. Bands like Kid Rock and Nsync dominate our airwaves. No album of the 90's is as good as this (or In Utero for that matter). Ignore criticism towards this album, it is truly magnificent. The only albums in my collection to rival this are "Master of Puppets" by Metallica and "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd. Buy this along with the rest of Nirvana's albums and prepare to be amazed by the musical and lyrical talent of one of the best bands of our time.

This is great 70's classic rock in the year 2000.  It's great, full of funky rhythms, guitar riffs in one ear and out the other when the next one pushes its way in, bomming drums and pounding beats.  And of course, the various sounds and piano are highly commendable and Elton John's appearance is a real class act.
Skin is good, the guitars are great, good effect.  Vent, just kind of skip past that one.  Why Pt. 2 is the best song onhere and one of their best, nice homage to the 70's.  10 Years Later is really good, showcasing Ed Roland's wonderful voice.  Boast is good, another of those repeating words, but rocking out thought, because the words don't matter, the music does, kind of songs.  Turn is good, a nice little ballad-ish tune, I enjoy the reformation it portrays. You Speak My Language just thumps.  Perfect Day is great, just great, I'm so glad Elton John decided to tag along.  After All and Over Tokyo are gentle and subtle kind of tunes, though very stylistic.  Happiness is the guns a blazin' play out that reminds you about the beginning of the album, so then you hit repeat and play it all over again.  It gets my highest recommendation.
