  Recipe for Disaster is the second full-length album by the American hard rock band Brand New Sin. It was released in 2005 via Century Media Records.
  
  Singles included "Black and Blue," for which a music video was made, and "Days Are Numbered."
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  AllMusic called the album "a fine one, with more than enough high-water marks to counter the lows, and more than enough sheer 'rawk' gumption to stand out from the cookie-cutter radio rockers out there." PopMatters called the album "a confident step forward," writing that it is "the perfect music for a summer afternoon with a tubful of beer on ice." Exclaim! derided the "vocals that sound like a furious and bowel-obstructed Scott Stapp, tired mid-tempo Southern rock blues-riffing punctuated by occasional hints of thrash, and enough debased artificial harmonic guitar solo wankery to make Dimebag Darrell roll over in his grave."
