XTRMNTR

by Primal Scream

The 1001st greatest album of all time

XTRMNTR is a hard-edged, politically confrontational album that blends alternative rock with electronic styles such as electro, dub, and dub techno. The sound is built from abrasive production, dense electronic textures, heavy percussion and distorted guitars, with forceful vocals and lyrics that critique authority and corporate power. The record emphasizes beats, loops and studio processing to create an industrial-tinged club sound that stands out as one of the band’s most sonically experimental and confrontational works.
