Originally released in 1991. "This third release was bound to disappoint fans of the outrageous Stooges/Beefheart-influenced band. The album swung through a wider variety of styles, including Stones-style boogie rock ('Be Myself Again,' 'Baritone Street,' 'Circles'), melancholy ballads ('Golden Age,' 'Can't Slow Down'), and one genuine psychedelic epic ('Coda'). Taken on its own terms, the 1991 outing is a masterpiece of dissolution, disappointment, and loss. Chiming Byrds-style acoustic guitars, tambourines, and piano underscored the evolution toward a cleaner production sound. The band's playing never sounded more assured, although some detractors would claim this was a detrimental point. From Influence to Ignorance displayed new maturity in Union Carbide Productions' growth as a recording and performing entity. Additionally, it represented a personal watershed for Ebbot Lundberg as a singer, lyricist, and producer." --All Music Guide

4th album, originally released in 1992. "Imagine getting Steve Albini involved as producer of your next album to make it more tuneful? Normally you'd think a guy with Albini's track record as a maverick producer and musician (his years as a member of Big Black), and his fondness for huge-sounding, distorted, potentially offensive records would create a wad of aural damage not too dissimilar to their debut. Wrong. Swing is a good rock record, but ultimately anonymous." --All Music Guide

2nd album, originally released in 1989. "A good second effort that lacks the intensity of their debut, but never fails to deliver the goods. Again, Lundberg and Caganis are consistently wonderful, especially on the ranting 'Here Comes God' and the slightly psychedelic 'Born in the '60s.' Another undeservedly ignored record." --All Music Guide
