  Malcolm X Park is the fourth studio album by American rock band Unrest, released in 1988 by Caroline Records.
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  Exclaim!, in a retrospective review, wrote that the album "teems with restless youth and enthusiasm, which still provide a giddy thrill ride for its listener some 12-years later." Salon thought that "Unrest are like an indie pop version of the Faces, a bunch of sloppy eclectics writing catchy songs and recording them in what must be one take." Trouser Press wrote that "a cover of Kiss’ 'Strutter' denotes both an overly ironic worldview and a discouraging disposition to vapid muscle-flexing, but the rest of the album provides enough of a gray-matter workout to compensate."
