Wasted Sky is the fourth studio album by Numb, released on June 15, 1994 by KK Records. The band changed musical direction by dampening processing and effects with the intention of exploring a different emotional intensity with their music. The album was reissued by Metropolis Records in July 1995.

Reception

A critic at Sonic Boom called Wasted Sky an impressive album that "intelligently uses guitars to accentuate the music."
