Class of 98 is the second album by American hardcore punk band, 98 Mute. It was released on June 2, 1998 on Theologian Records. Like its predecessor, the self-titled debut, it was produced by Fletcher Dragge of the band, Pennywise and one of the tracks, "Picture This", was featured on Epitaph Records' Punk-O-Rama series of compilations as they left to join them.

Overview

The style was considerably tamer than their debut effort with toned-down vocals and longer songs, all contributing to a more original sound. The songs were still played at a fast pace, but with more emphasis on melody and structure.
