Template:Music ratings RTFM is the fifth album by the American alternative rock band Poster Children, released in 1997.[1][2] The title comes from the term RTFM, short for "Read The Fucking Manual".[3] It was issued as an enhanced CD.[4]
The band supported the album by touring with Failure.[5]
Production
The album was mixed using a Mac Quadra 650.[6] The band recorded the album with the same lineup that recorded Junior Citizen; it was the first time in their existence that the exact same band members had appeared on two albums in a row.[5]
Critical reception
The New York Times wrote: "Years on the club circuit have made the band's lyrics ever more sardonic; in "Music of America" from their new album, RTFM (Reprise), Poster Children mock 'AM/FM trash, recycled every hour and converted into cash.'"[7] The Chicago Tribune thought that "the quartet fuses swaggering power chords, home-brewed techno-delia, pop melodies and dissonant clatter into a distinctive, inviting wail."[8]
