Bethlehem is the eighth studio album by garage rock band The Original Sins, released in 1996 through Bar/None Records. The album shows a change in tone for the band, focusing much more on pop music and psychedelic rock than the energetic garage punk fury from previous releases. The album has been considered as the band's best, with some describing it as "the band's greatest achievement"[1] and a "great leap-forward".[2]
