Totally Crushed Out! is the second studio album by American alternative rock band that dog.. It was released on July 18, 1995, on DGC Records.
The album produced the single "He's Kissing Christian", for which a music video was directed by Frank Sacramento.[1] Totally Crushed Out! also includes the band's longest song, "Rockstar", clocking in at well over seven minutes.
Totally Crushed Out! is a loosely-based concept album about love and crushes, featuring an album cover that resembles artwork from the Sweet Valley High young adult book series. This theme is further demonstrated within the rest of the album packaging. The tracks are listed as a table of contents with song lyrics broken up into chapters, while photos of the band appear under an "About the Authors" section, with a short biography on each member. The album's back cover features a brief synopsis of a fictitious story that includes the song titles in their playing order within the text:
