Troublegum, released February 7, 1994 was the second major label album by the band Therapy?. It had a dark, metal-like punk sound while remaining melodic, which fitted in well with the grunge scene, which was still popular at the time. This remains many people's favorite Therapy? album, and even today, more than ten years after its release, it contributes the majority of their live sets.
