Endangered Species is the fourth and penultimate album by the Canadian rock band Klaatu, released in 1980.

Reception

[edit]

The album was a commercial and critical failure. As a result, the band was dropped shortly afterwards by Capitol, though Capitol's Canadian division picked up the band and released their final album Magentalane in Canada only.

AllMusic described Endangered Species as a "downright ghastly pop-rock affair",[2] and deemed its songs "dismal".[1]
