Creep Diets is the second studio album by British rock band Fudge Tunnel, released on 26 April 1993 by Earache Records.[1] It was distributed by Columbia Records in the United States as part of Earache's deal with Columbia,[2] where it sold less than 15,000 copies.[3]
The album was mostly well received by critics. Metalreviews.com wrote that it "had more in common with the burgeoning Seattle grunge scene than with the doom metal underground."[4] Ned Raggett of AllMusic criticized the similarity between most of the album's tracks, writing that "while things do sound great throughout, songwise there's not much variety -- hasn't hurt a lot of bands, perhaps, but in the end most listeners would want some sort of break." Thomas Kupfer of Rock Hard praised the albums high energy guitar riffs and controlled vocals, positively comparing its sound to the band Helmet.[5]
