RTFM (album)
RTFM is the fifth album by the American alternative rock band Poster Children, released in 1997. The title comes from the term RTFM, short for "Read The Fucking Manual". It was issued as an enhanced CD. The band supported the album by touring with Failure. Production. The album was mixed using a Mac Quadra 650. The band recorded the album with the same lineup that recorded "Junior Citizen"; it was the first time in their existence that the exact same band members had appeared on two albums in a row. Critical reception. "The New York Times" wrote: "Years  on the club circuit have made the band's lyrics ever more sardonic; in "Music of America" from their new album, "RTFM" (Reprise), Poster Children mock 'AM/FM trash, recycled every hour and converted into cash.'" The "Chicago Tribune" thought that "the quartet fuses swaggering power chords, home-brewed techno-delia, pop melodies and dissonant clatter into a distinctive, inviting wail."
