Not Richard, But Dick is the seventh studio album by the Dead Milkmen, released in 1993 via Hollywood Records.[7][8] Like Soul Rotation, the album was a commercial disappointment.[9] After being out of print for years, Hollywood Records released the album for digital download on April 2, 2013.

Production[]

The album was produced by Jon Lupfer and the band.[4]

Critical reception[]

Trouser Press wrote that "the simplified Not Richard, but Dick favors down-the-hatch indie-rock, which suits the Milkmen fine but doesn’t make for as entertaining an experience."[10] The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "the band expresses the discontent of today's teens and twentysomethings with a vividness rarely summoned by even conscientiously 'righteous' rockers."[5] The Tampa Bay Times thought that "the Milkmen have always had problems making their punkish songs live up to the great titles ... on Not Richard, But Dick they again weigh in with some classic bits of satire and fall short on a few other occasions."[6] The Scripps Howard News Service deemed the album "a goofy palate of cultural references sure to prompt laughter and groans."[11]
