Cuatro, meaning four in Spanish, is the fourth album by Flotsam and Jetsam. It was released on October 13, 1992.
Certain songs are slow tempoed and dark sounding with a grunge feel instead of the death/thrash metal sound from their debut album, Doomsday for the Deceiver. An example of this is the pleasantly haunting Music Choice Metal channel staple "Wading Through The Darkness".
Chris Cornell (of the grunge band, Soundgarden) co-wrote "The Message" (credited as Christopher Cornell).
Although panned by critics[1], the album is reviewed as an "overlooked metal masterpiece from the 90's" and "awesome".[2]
Eric Braverman is credited as "Production Coordinator and the Sixth Flotsam" and is credited as a co-writer on all but two songs of the album.
