Mush (album)

Mush is the third full-length album by the English punk band Leatherface. It was originally released only in Britain on Roughneck, a subsidiary of Fire Records, in 1991. It was re-released on Seed Records, an offshoot of Atlantic Records, in 1992, in an unsuccessful attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Nirvana in the United States.[2]

The Guardian called it an album "which has influenced every hardcore, post-hardcore, call it what you want, punk group that exists anywhere across the globe."[3] Kerrang rated it as one of the 50 best albums of 1991.[4]

In 2012, Sarah Anderson of NME named it one of "20 lost albums ripe for rediscovery",[5] and the same magazine named it the 49th best album of 1991 in 2016.[6]
