Adults!!!: Smart!!! Shithammered!!! And Excited by Nothing!!!!!!! is an EP by Bomb the Music Industry! which was released digitally on February 8, 2010 via Quote Unquote Records. It was recorded, mixed and released in only five days.[1]
A slightly different version of "Struggler" was previously released as a single on December 24, 2009. The original version was recorded without a full band in Jeff Rosenstock's bedroom as a tribute to Sweet Home Cananada, released five years before.[2]
There is no set cover art for the album; eight different versions of cover art exist, each featuring a color filtered photograph of someone who appears on the album with the word "ADULTS!" across the cover. The cover art for the "Struggler" single is in the same style, except the text reads "STRUGGLER."
Adults!!! is currently the only Bomb the Music Industry! album to not contain samples of television shows, movies, phone messages or other songs between tracks.

Exclaim! named "Adults!..." No. 10 in their Punk Albums of 2010.[6] Exclaim! writer Ben Conoley said "Listening to the album is like attending a really exciting party where everyone is extremely fun but equally self-aware and well-read. Even with a little melancholy, BTMI! reminds us of how much fun life is."
