I Think I'm Gonna Be Sick is the debut album by the Philadelphia band Dandelion.[1] [2] The album includes an untitled hidden track, which band member Mike Morpurgo has referred to as "Tuesday". A European tour followed shortly after the album was released. "Under My Skin" was released as a single and appeared on the soundtrack to Brainscan.[3]

Critical reception

The Washington Post said that "many of the album's songs are pithy rockers that recall both the elementary attack and the adolescent attitude of the Stooges."[4] The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote: "On the masterfully developed 'Onion Field', ominous sustained-guitar sounds establish the framework, while vocalist Kevin issues attitude-heavy pronouncements that energize the rhythm section."[5]
