Revenge of the Goldfish

''Revenge of the Goldfish'' is the third studio album by the English band Inspiral Carpets. It was released on 5 October 1992 through Mute Records. The band supported the album by touring with Sunscreem.

The album's cover art is a (cropped) 1981 photograph of an installation by contemporary artist Sandy Skoglund, also titled ''Revenge of the Goldfish''.

Critical reception

The ''Toronto Star'' wrote that the album "returns to the punk-tinged sounds and loose feel of the Inspirals' debut, ''Life''." The ''Chicago Tribune'' opined that "singer Tom Hingley bogs things down with his syrupy, overwrought vocals." The ''Los Angeles Times'' noted the "reverb-heavy guitars, grinding organs and brooding lyrics."
