Alcatraz is an album by the Berkeley punk rock band the Mr. T Experience, released in 1999 by Lookout!
[3][4] It was the band's last album to include bassist Joel Reader, who left the group after its release.
[6] It was recorded at multiple studios around the Bay Area, to ensure that the songs were sonically distinct.
[6] The album's sound differed from the band's previous two efforts, incorporating organ, keyboards, and acoustic instrumentation.
"[9] SF Weekly wrote: "Deliberately seeking out the sonically claustrophobic atmosphere of such '80s favorites as Elvis Costello's Armed Forces and Joe Jackson's I'm the Man, the album achieves a level of nearly paranoid musicianship, rife with extemporaneous fills and exceedingly tight instrumental interplay.
