Shapes (album)
''Shapes'' is Polvo's fourth studio album and the last album released prior to breaking up shortly after its release. It was recorded by Bob Weston and released on Touch and Go Records in 1997. Reception Tom Schulte of ''Allmusic'' called it "a fascinating record that takes great liberties with rock-n-roll", noting its combination of "fuzzed-out blasts ala Blue Cheer with quasi-psychedelic twanging and droning." He ends his review by "predicting" as "a safe bet" that the band "will be looked on as one of the better bands of the 90s". ''The A.V. Club'' compared the album to a "3-D relief map, with straight organic rock at its high points and structured geometric sound at the lows", calling it "the sort of journey that meanders through these elements in a way that deserves more attention than your average "post-rock" album". The review ends by writing that "Polvo's genius shows through by achieving the difficult harmony between the structured and the chaotic." Pearson Greer of ' ...
