Mind Funk is the debut studio album by American rock band Mind Funk. [2] [5] It was released on March 12, 1991 by Epic Records.
Critical reception
The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "aggressive and confident". [4] Trouser Press called it "a Spinal Tapped lunk-o- metal platter". [6] Spin wrote that the album is "chock-full of eclectic musical styles merged with a liberal dose of vocalist Pat Dubar's arresting lyrics." [7]
In a retrospective article, Decibel called Mind Funk "smart alt-metal, the kind that most of us loved back in 1991 and 1992." [8]
