Revenge Is Sweet, and So Are You

Revenge Is Sweet, and So Are You is an album by the Berkeley, California, punk rock band the Mr. T Experience, released in 1997.

Critical reception

The Washington Post thought that the songs "show plenty of Ramones (and Buzzcocks) influence, both in their simple, speedy melodies and the bratty sense of humor." Phoenix New Times deemed the album "16 tracks of tortured love and loss" and "a more eclectic bunch of songs than on Love Is Dead."

AllMusic wrote: "Judging by the ambivalent commercial reaction to this wonderful slab of plastic, even if the MTX record the Rubber Soul of today's music era, they will nevertheless be ignored."
