Hüsker Dü - New Day Rising

New Day Rising is the third studio album by the American punk rock band Hüsker Dü. It was released in 1985 through SST Records.

As with its predecessor, New Day Rising continued to deviate from the fast-paced hardcore punk style of the band's earliest releases, showing an evolution towards slower tempos and more melody. Despite this, it is considered by critics to be musically "more vicious and relentless" than Zen Arcade. According to music journalist Andrew Earles, it expanded the more pop-oriented tracks from Zen Arcade into an entire body of work. Specifically, he cited the tracks "Chartered Trips", "Something I Learned Today", and "First of the Last Calls" from the previous album as having informed this album's sound. Critics have also noted the influence from 1960s pop music present on the album.
