Are You Normal? is the second studio album by English rock band Ned's Atomic Dustbin, released on 3 November 1992 by Columbia Records. It features the band's biggest American hit "Not Sleeping Around", which hit the top of Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Music

Are You Normal? shows the band scaling back on the dual-bass, "punk-pop"-informed grebo sound of their debut album in order to "let the dynamics of the basses soak through the rush of power chords that dominate their early work." It also shows the band beginning to work with electronics, sampling and "ultramodern production" that the band would continue to explore in their later work. AllMusic said the result is "an almost bouncy, bright album, full of great hooks and lyrical cleverness."
