Manic Compression is the second studio album by American post-hardcore band Quicksand. It was first released on February 24, 1995 on vinyl through Revelation Records, before being given a widespread CD release through Island Records on February 28, 1995.[8][9][10][11] The album influenced many post-hardcore and alternative metal bands.[12] It peaked at number 135 on the Billboard 200.[13]
It was Quicksand's last studio album before their initial breakup, leading to a 22-year gap in output until the release of Interiors, in 2017.[14] In the meantime, a follow-up album was conceptualized during their brief 1997–1999 reunion, but it never materialized.[15]
A vinyl version of the album was released in early 2013 by Shop Radio Cast.[13] It incorrectly lists "Landmine Spring" as the first song on the B-side on the cover, when the song is the last song pressed on the A-side.

Critical reception
The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called Manic Compression "another bracing collection of cerebral punk songs."[6] Trouser Press wrote that "producers Wharton Tiers ... and Don Fury condense the sonics considerably on tracks like the writhing 'Divorce' and the brittle 'Thorn in My Side.'"[3]
