Tropic of Scorpio is the debut studio album by American band Girls Against Boys, released in 1992 by record label Adult Swim.
Reception
Trouser Press wrote that the album "rocks savagely on 'Wow Wow Wow', staggers drunkenly on 'Wasting Away' and pushes the distortion envelope on 'Plush'." The Washington Post noted that "'Matching Wits with Flaming Frank' and 'Wasting Away' possess some needed vehemence, but such jazzy tracks as 'Everywhere I Go I Seem to Spend $20' ... are just so much vapor."
AllMusic called it "a slightly off-and-on affair, but when it works it fulfills the promise of the earliest recordings and then a little bit more."
