Ill at Ease is the third full-length studio album by the Australian hard rock/alternative metal band The Mark of Cain. It was released in 1995 by Australian label rooArt and produced by Henry Rollins. First Time" and "LMA" were released as singles from the album. The Contender", "Interloper", "You Let Me Down", "Hindsight" and "Pointman" were remixed for release on the following album Rock and Roll.

This album is a stone cold killer. One of the best albums to come out of Australia by a country mile. The guitar sound John Scott produces has an incredible flavoured sound. John's brother Kim's bass sound reminds me of Godflesh at their nastiest. Aaron Hewson does an excellent job on drums and I much prefered him to John Stanier personally but regardless Stanier fills the spot nicely nowa days. Henry Rollins produced the album but essentially this is Mark Of Cain live in a studio. it captures their live sound & performance beautifully. Australia doesn't need "big". Album covers and liner notes are used, and sometimes additional information is provided, such as analysis of the recording, historically, the term album was applied to a collection of various items housed in a book format. In musical usage the word was used for collections of pieces of printed music from the early nineteenth century.

Extra Tracks, Import, Remastered. The lyrics are angry and loud but really clear in the mix so you can understand his voice. Incredible rhythm and timing. Not an album to drive to unless you want to lose your licence. One person found this helpful.

This album is a stone cold killer. One of the best albums to come out of Australia by a country mile. The guitar sound John Scott produces has an incredible flavoured sound. John's brother Kim's bass sound reminds me of Godflesh at their nastiest. Aaron Hewson does an excellent job on drums and I much prefered him to John Stanier personally but regardless Stanier fills the spot nicely nowa days. Henry Rollins produced the album but essentially this is Mark Of Cain live in a studio......it captures their live sound & performance beautifully. Australia doesn't need "big" rock'n'roll acts touring when these guys are around that's for sure. This album quite simply blows bands like Tool, Nirvana, Ministry, Kings Of Leon, Soundgarden, QOTSA, Faith No More etc etc etc out of the water!!!!!! If you like Rock, Punk, Alternative or just plain good music bag this immediately. Also one of the best live bands around

Disagree it's their best... It's a solid release, but it hasn't aged very well and it lacks the emotional honesty and depth found on the first two albums. I was disappointed by the musical direction the band took from this release onwards (I can't even listen to their latest stuff, and believe me I was once a total TMOC fanboy). I just don't understand John Scott's evolution from a man who actually sang (yes, with melody) to a robot who yells all of his vocals and gave up on melody completely; also I don't understand how the musical evolution so quickly moved away from the spacier, detached, measured pace and broader emotional palette of the early albums, toward a heavier, colder and generally blander sound. And I just don't get into the whole super-precise timing and robotic rhythm section with all that stop-start stop-start arrangements... it seems impressive at first, but it's just endless intensity lacking any sense of a groove. I also want to point out the forever-angry and hyper-masculine angsty direction of their later years... I really grew out of that shit. So yeah, I think this album is deeply flawed and the beginning of a steady unfortunate decline. So... TMOC 1989-1994 was the golden era for me. RIP.
