Sticker Happy is the Eraserheads' fifth album, released in 1997. At the time, the album cover courted a healthy amount of controversy as to the identity of the nude woman playing an upright piano in the middle of a field (later revealed to be then-Channel [V] VJ Joey Mead).
Musically, the album is heavier as the band brought to the fore various guitar effects purchased during their New York visit. Although still retaining the signature "E-Heads" sound, 'Sticker Happy' is very much influenced by mid 90's techno and also featured a heavy amount of sampling, most notable on the tracks "Maalalahanin", "Downtown" and "Everything They Say".

- "Spoliarium" is named after the painting of the same name by Filipino artist Juan Luna.

- The name of the album is most likely a spoof of the word "trigger-happy."
