Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Terraform' is a stark, incredibly minimalistic milestone of post-hardcore and noise rock recorded by Steve Albini. The album is defined by its repetitive, dissonant guitar lines and sarcastic, angry lyricism, utilizing uncommon time signatures and abrasive textures to explore themes of urban alienation.
