Tincan Experiment is the first album by the American band 6gig.[3][4] It was released in 2000 by Ultimatum Music.[5][6]

Production

The album was recorded at Long View Farm Studios, in Massachusetts.[7] It was produced by Roger Sommers.[8]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the visceral drive is there, but there's little substance to tunes like '5' and 'Method' to give it staying power."[1] The Telegram & Gazette called the album "a confident, hard-hitting combination of bombast and melodicism."[9] The Vancouver Sun wrote: "Weirdly enough for such a young crew of ambitious rockers, there's a plodding, lifelessness at work here."[10] The Providence Journal wrote that "the band's diversity of styles can hamper the effort when no prevailing sound emerges ... But all the variety has its rewards."[11]
