Hi-Fi Sci-Fi is the fifth studio album by alternative rock group Dramarama.[4][5] Released in 1993, it was also their last studio album until Everybody Dies was released in 2005.

Critical reception

[edit]

Robert Christgau wrote that "what's confusing, and a stroke, is that with Clem Burke pounding the skins and the band mixing and matching, it rocks louder, harder, and faster than anything they've done since going pro—or ever."[3]
