Alcatraz is an album by the Berkeley punk rock band the Mr. T Experience, released in 1999 by Lookout! Records.[3][4] It was the band's last album to include bassist Joel Reader, who left the group after its release.[5]
Critical reception
The Dallas Observer deemed Alcatraz "a good, old-fashioned rock album."[9] SF Weekly wrote: "Deliberately seeking out the sonically claustrophobic atmosphere of such '80s favorites as Elvis Costello's Armed Forces and Joe Jackson's I'm the Man, the album achieves a level of nearly paranoid musicianship, rife with extemporaneous fills and exceedingly tight instrumental interplay."[6]
