The album went three times Platinum in Australia and won five esteemed ARIA Awards in 1998, including Album of the Year. The album's success is indicative of a particular point in time in popular music trends, when the world was recovering from the impact of grunge and post-grunge bands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRegurgitator's subversive attitude toward pop music, punk aesthetic, unique lyrical narratives and an ironic view on their own creative product made their music potent in an alternative market defying the prevailing music trends. \u003ci\u003eUnit\u003c\/i\u003e and Regurgitator were the focus of divisive critical reviews, yet they continue to rank highly as a quintessentially Australian band. This volume situates the development of \u003ci\u003eUnit\u003c\/i\u003e amongst the DIY culture of a politically charged Brisbane scene, and breaks down the album through the lens of recording and songwriting processes. This book outlines the impact of Regurgitator's music locally and globally, by discussing what made \u003ci\u003eUnit\u003c\/i\u003e a success at the peak of the alternative music genre.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLachlan Goold\u003c\/b\u003e is a recording engineer, producer, mixer, popular music educator, researcher and lecturer in Contemporary Music at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
