Candyass is the debut studio album by American rock band Orgy, released on August 18, 1998 by Warner Bros, Reprise and Elementree.
The album was named after a drag queen the band had met with Alexis Arquette. The album makes heavy use of the Korg Triton.
Candyass is the most successful Orgy album, and peaked at No. 32 on the US Billboard 200. Many critics attribute the success of the album to its second single, "Blue Monday", a cover of New Order's song of the same name. The lead single, "Stitches", was also successful on rock and alternative charts. The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA on July 22, 1999, and certified Gold by Music Canada.
The Baltimore Sun wrote: "Whether through the ominous crunch of 'Social Enemies' or the frenzied thrum of 'Fiend', Orgy knows how to use its artfully distorted sound to stunning effect, evoking a world of anomie and unease with each verse and chorus."
In 2021, the staff of Revolver included the album in their list of the "20 Essential Nu-Metal Albums".
