Girls.Suck.But.YOU.Don't is the third official full-length release from Chicago intelligent dance music (IDM) artist Benn Jordan, also known as The Flashbulb.

The subtitle of the record reads "15 tracks from my hard drive", and some contend that this amusing label is no misnomer. According to interviews with Jordan at the time of the record's release, an upstart Japanese breakcore label by the name of Accel Muzhik contacted him earlier that year, desperate to release some of the musician's work for its own label. Being in no mood to release another definitive work at the time, let alone on a struggling new label like Accel Muzhik, Jordan mastered a collection of fifteen tracks from his hard drive onto CD and sent it to them. The album has received criticism by some due to the haste in which it was put together.

Critics charge that the album plays out like a kaleidoscopic, rough trip through the mind of Jordan on an off-day. The drum programming is more lax and roughly assembled on some tracks, the sequencing of the album is abrupt and scattershot, and there is no consistent theme.
