Polineso

Polineso is the lone album by Minecraftian outfit Off Track Group. The album is widely considered to be one of the best of the 2000s.

Writing
The album was written over the course of three months in 2002 and focuses on themes of loneliness, depression, perversion and lack of intercourse. This has made many critics compare it to the earlier work of Weezer.

Artwork
Polineso hit the shelves on June 14th 2004, and was met with immediate backlash from the majority of Minecraftia and force from Team Crimson. Michael Moor, the lead singer was kidnapped and tortured until the album cover was changed. It was changed within three days, and all copies that had not yet been sold were destroyed. Both the CD and the record have been reissued with the original artwork outside of Minecraftia. The first Minecraftian pressing of this album goes for around $500 if you can find it. On the topic of the torturing, Moor describes the experience as "massively overblown by the media." He does not suffer from PTSD or anything related to it.

Recording
The band recorded a song/month. Moor said this was to give them time to rehearse each song fully before recording it, to minimize takes in the actual session. All tracks recorded on the album are first takes, including the 15 minute outro.
