The Embryo's In Bloom is Dog Fashion Disco's third album, originally released on OuterLoop Records in 1998, then reissued in 2000 before going out of print in 2001. The studio quality of this album is noticeably better than the band's preceding albums, and they were subsequently pleased with the resulted sound.^[1] It was re-released by Rotten Records in 2006.^[2]

Reception

In her July 1999 review, Cheryl Botchick CMJ New Music Report compared the album to artists such as Faith No More, Mr. Bungle and Incubus. She stated that it is "quirky and irreverent enough to hold the interest of fans of hybridized funk/metal bands like Faith No More", adding that "vocalist Todd Smith is an even mix of the cartoonish, possessed howl of Mike Patton and the heavily processed growl of Rob Zombie."^[3]
