Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2005, 'Acetylene' marked The Walkabouts' return as a revitalized force in alternative rock after a four-year hiatus following their previous album, 'Critical Mass.' This period saw the band experimenting with a more organic sound while still retaining their signature storytelling approach.
