Tropic of Scorpio is the debut studio album by American band Girls Against Boys, released in 1992 by record label Adult Swim.[2] [3]
Trouser Press wrote that the album "rocks savagely on 'Wow Wow Wow', staggers drunkenly on 'Wasting Away' and pushes the distortion envelope on 'Plush'."[4] The Washington Post noted that "'Matching Wits with Flaming Frank' and 'Wasting Away' possess some needed vehemence, but such jazzy tracks as 'Everywhere I Go I Seem to Spend $20' ... are just so much vapor."[5]
AllMusic called it "a slightly off-and-on affair, but when it works it fulfills the promise of the earliest recordings and then a little bit more."
