Poetic Terrorism is the fifth studio album by the Norwegian rock band BigBang, released in April 2005.[1][2][3] The album was produced by Øystein Greni and recorded at his Grand Sport Studios. It was mixed by American producer and engineer Sylvia Massy, renowned for her work with Tom Petty, Prince, R.E.M. and Johnny Cash.
Overview
Øystein Greni described the record as minimalistic and reminiscent of the Dinosaur Jr. and Hüsker Dü era punk rock. According to the frontman, what sets the album apart is its minimalistic indie production and variety. This is Bigbang's first album without an instrumental track or acoustic ballad.
It is also the band's first album since Waxed in 1995 to be released through Greni's Grand Sport Records indie label. The four-year deal with Warner Norway ended with Radio Radio TV Sleep as Greni chose to produce his own records.[3]
A different version of "On Your Mind" was previously released on the Smiling For EP in 2001. An alternative version of "Not a Rolling Stone" appeared on a two-track EP of the same name, released later in 2005, which also included documentary footage and a Saturn Freeway video.
