Abort is the second studio album by the Boston alternative rock band Tribe, released in 1991.[1][2] Released by Slash Records/Warner Bros. Records, it was the band's major label debut.[3][4]
Eight of the ten tracks from Here at the Home were re-recorded for Abort. Four tracks were brand new: "Easter Dinner", "Joyride (I Saw the Film)", "Payphone", and "Serenade".
The track "Pinwheels" was also re-recorded for Abort but in the end was not put on the album. It was released as a b-side in the Easter Dinner E.P.
Three singles were released from the album as EPs: "Easter Dinner", "Payphone", and "Joyride (I Saw the Film)". The band shot a video for "Joyride".[5][6]
The album was produced by Gil Norton and Chris Sheldon.[7] It was recorded and mixed at Blue Jay Recording Studio, in Carlisle, Massachusetts, from January to February 1991. "Here at the Home" is about agoraphobia.[8]

The Boston Herald wrote that "the broad new arrangements are engaging improvements on the band's home-grown tapes, though 'Tied' has lost its eerie appeal."[10]
