The Medusa is the second studio album released by New Zealand rock group, Tadpole on September 15, 2002. It was recorded over late 2001-early 2002 and was produced by Malcolm Welsford via Antenna Recordings.

Cover art

The cover art features Greek mythology's Medusa designed by Geoff Smith at Outer Aspect, with additional artwork by Monique Facon.[1] The 2002 pressings of the album cover were innovative, due to the use of a 3D hologram cover design. To save on costs, the cover from 2003 onward did not have the hologram, instead it included a booklet with lyrics.

Chart performance

The Medusa entered the New Zealand Top 40 Albums chart and peaked at #10 on September 15, 2002. The album spent a total of nine weeks on the chart and is the second album to reach the top 10.[2]
