No Anaesthesia! is the second studio album by Finnish thrash metal band Stone, released in 1989. The album marked a slight change in sound from the band's self-titled previous album, incorporating progressive and neoclassical elements that Stone would expand on their subsequent albums,[1][2] and the title track is notable for being the longest song the band ever recorded. No Anaesthesia! was remastered and re-issued in 2003, and again in 2009, when it was bundled with the preceding album in a 2-CD set.[3][4] This is also the last Stone album to feature guitarist Jiri Jalkanen, who was fired from the band in 1990 and was replaced by Nirri Niiranen.[2]
