Chemicrazy is the fourth album by Irish alternative rockers That Petrol Emotion.[1] The album was released in April 1990.[2] It was produced by Scott Litt.[3]
Four singles were taken from the album: "Abandon", "Hey Venus", "Sensitize" and "Tingle". Chemicrazy peaked at No. 62 on the UK Albums Chart.[4] It was a hit on Billboards College/Alternative Albums chart.[5] The band supported the album with a North American tour.[6]
The Los Angeles Times noted that, "after two albums of all groove and no song, the thrill is back at the incendiary level you'd expect from a band that descended from Northern Ireland's melodic punk boy wonders the Undertones." The Orlando Sentinel wrote that "Tingle" "is a breezy love song that lopes along and is pure pop at its best." The Houston Chronicle called the album "a strong, no-nonsense, uncompromising rock 'n' roll record from one of music's bright new bands."[7]
