Swedish punk band Union Carbide Productions fairly blew the world away with the authentic, towering Iggyisms of their first two late-1980s releases. On their third album, 1991's FROM INFLUENCE TO IGNORANCE, the Hoover guitars, bluesy rhythms, and swaggering vocals are still in effect, but complemented by piano, acoustic-guitar flourishes, and some power ballads. The ferocious grunge-blues epic "Coda" represents a new level of musicianship for the band, capping off what many fans believe to be the best of their four-album discography.
