A Man's Not a Camel is Frenzal Rhomb's fourth full length album released in March 1999. The album was arguably the band's most successful, at least in terms of mainstream music culture. Frenzal Rhomb had languished for many years, a staple of Aussie Punk, but not of Australian music. The singles "You are Not My Friend", "Never Had So Much Fun", and "We're Going Out Tonight" all received considerable play-time on radio and television music video programmes, boosting Frenzal Rhomb's reputation. In July 2011, the album was voted 92nd in Triple J's Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time.
