Sticker Happy 1997

 This album was notable for the heavy usage of samples and synthesizers, which the members of the band purchased in the United States during a concert tour. The songs in this album tend to be surreal in nature; The track 'Spoliarium' was named after the famous Juan Luna painting; however, the song was about alcoholism. Another song, 'Andalusian Dog', alluded to the film Un chien andalou by the Spanish surrealist director Luis Buñuel. Other hits include 'Kaliwete' and 'Para Sa Masa'. Also featured 'Bogchi Hokbu', a song later used in a snack food commercial.
