On the lines of great driving albums, Shellac's Terraform is one of the best...that is if you skip over the first track. Twelve minutes of just two bass notes and the same drum line are enough to put most people in a trance. After the 12-minute opening track, "This is a Picture" breaks though with a pulse that would make any heavy metal fan bob his head. It's at about this point when you wonder how they get their guitars to sound like they're being strummed with aluminum cans. You then realize that both Steve Albini and Bob Weston are accomplished producers and there's no way you'll ever find out anyway because they cover the controls on their amps when they play live shows. 

The closer for Terraform is a tribute to the misunderstood element Copper, which, unfortunately "will never be gold." I suggest purchasing any Shellac album on vinyl because a) the sounds created are amazing and b) both Albini and Weston are adamant about people hearing it in the correct vinyl format.
