The Unfinished Spanish Galleon of Finley Lake

The Unfinished Spanish Galleon of Finley Lake is the second studio album by Australian rock band Spiderbait, released in 1995.

[2] The album was named after the real unfinished Spanish galleon built in Spiderbait's hometown, Finley, New South Wales, which was a "failed civic beautification project".

[3][4] The Unfinished Spanish Galleon Of Finley Lake did well for the band, picking up two ARIA nominations and drawing industry attention.

"[4] Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane felt it "found the band adding a jazzier touch (as on the title track) to the usually frantic, distortion-fuelled thrash-pop style.

"[3] Jonathan Lewis of AllMusic wrote that it "consisted of short (most songs are under three minutes) blasts of punk-pop," adding that "[w]ith their buzzing guitars and the strange vocals of lead singer Kram, Spiderbait were a kind of hybrid of the rawer moments of the Pixies and the Muffs, but less melodic than either of those two.
