      • In 5.180.24.3/info/rock" target="_blank">Rock is an album by American 5.180.24.3/info/rock" target="_blank">rock band The 5.180.24.3/info/minus" target="_blank">Minus 5. It was released in 2000 by Book Records, and re-released in 2004 by Yep Roc. The album was recorded over one day in 2000 with songs written impromptu by band leader Scott McCaughey and sold at concerts in a limited edition of 1,000. McCaughey decided that the album should see a wider distribution, so he approached Yep Roc because he had had pleasant experiences with releasing albums from them in the past; he recorded new songs for this edition.


      Critical reception



      The editorial staff of AllMusic Guide gave this album four out of five stars, with reviewer Mark Deming calling it "pretty darned satisfying" due to McCaughey's clever songwriting, calling the album "both tight and loose just when it needs to be". Dennis Tyhacz of PopMatters echoes the catchy songwriting, writing that McCaughey's "gift for melody is a breath of fresh air". Joe Tangari of Pitchfork gave the release a 7.6 out of 10, writing that this album contains some of McCaughey's best work in his 15-year career, characterizing the album as "a hugely welcome blast of pure pop mayhem from one of its finest practitioners", writing "most of these songs are short and to the point, laced with McCaughey's trademark wit and served with a short stack of harmony vocals and a lot of fuzzy guitar" In Exclaim!, Vish Khanna considers In 5.180.24.3/info/rock" target="_blank">Rock an "inspired, loose (though not as loose as one might suspect) collection of songs that contribute to the band's fun-filled reputation". Writing for The Orlando Sentinel, Jim Abbott gave the album three out of four stars for its 1960s pop 5.180.24.3/info/rock" target="_blank">rock influences and the exuberance of the vintage sound.
