Self Destruct is the third album by the American garage punk band the Original Sins. It was released in 1990 through Psonik Records. The CD version of the album included bonus tracks that originally appeared from their 1990 "Coca-Cola" 7" single.
Critical reception
The Chicago Tribune wrote that "John Terlesky's gravelly, abandoned vocals once again ride over searing guitar (with more than a few psychedelic/bluesy accents) and organ, bass and drums that are welded into blasts of raw rock 'n' roll sound." The New York Times determined that "the music is dense, droning pop, through which J. T.'s guitar and ragged vocals cut, gag, stumble and scream."
In 1998, The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed the album "fat-bottomed psychedelic metal."
