Uncertain Future is known as one of the albums that established a distinctive thrash metal sound in the field of the music of Seattle.

These elements crystalized the "technical/progressive thrash" sound that Forced Entry would expand and improve on their next album As Above, So Below.[2][1]

| AllMusic |   [3] |
AllMusic's John Book awarded the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, saying, "They changed the world of thrash with their debut album in 1989, featuring eerie power chords, awesome vocals, and a tremendous bass guitar sound. For an album recorded on a low budget, the sound is impressive. This album has yet to be appreciated by the masses."[3]
All music is by Forced Entry. All lyrics are by Tony Benjamins, except track 6 (Brad Hull).
