Four Great Points is the third studio album by the Louisville-based math rock band June of 44, released on January 20, 1998, by Quarterstick Records.[4][5]

Critical reception

The Chicago Reader called the album "a hypnotic blend of rock, dub, ambient, and orchestral pop," writing that "most of the songs begin with a simple but solid hook; dropped into the harmonic pond it blossoms into a series of variations that move farther and farther from the center."[1] Salon deemed the album "a consistently inventive record, and one that carries a level of emotion that's rare in a genre often plagued with detached, highly textured noodling."[6]
