Frustration Plantation is the fourth studio album by American rock band Rasputina, released by Instinct Records on March 16, 2004.[4] While not strictly a concept album, Frustration Plantation does have many songs darkly relating to women's lives in the Old South.
In a review for AllMusic, Heather Phares said of the album, "The idea of mixing eerie, Deliverance-style Southern ambience with Rasputina's aesthetic is an inspired one, and it results in their strongest work to date."[3] Andy Hermann of PopMatters praised Melora Creager's songwriting, and said, "Eccentric instrumentation aside, Rasputina are ultimately just a great pop band with an immensely talented frontwoman, and Frustration Plantation is their most entertaining, consistent work to date."[2] Jamie Kiffel of Lollipop Magazine said of the album, "While it might be easy to call Rasputina’s product a gimmick, Creager’s genuine fascination with her subject matter keeps her death and occult sound, for the loss of a better word, fresh."[1]
