Amazing Disgrace is the fourth album by the Seattle alternative rock band the Posies, released in 1996. It was their final release for DGC Records.

Production

As was the case on previous albums, the band's label told the Posies to return to the studio to record more "'hit material.'" Cheap Trick's Robin Zander and Rick Nielsen appear on "Hate Song."

Critical reception

Robert Christgau wrote: "Of course it's not the Beatles or Big Star—merely emulated, the formal ideas don't sustain their excitement." The Washington Post wrote that the album's "combination of pretty melody and ugly thoughts is utterly contemporary." Trouser Press called the album "surprisingly sour but still delicious."
