Law of the Fish is the third album by the Radiators. It is their second studio album and their first major label release.
After a five-year hiatus from record-making (but not from performing), the Radiators signed with Epic Records and released their first major label album, which helped introduce their self-described "fishhead music" to a national audience. The album made it up to No. 139 on the Billboard 200, and the songs "Doctor, Doctor" and "Like Dreamers Do" made it to No. 20 and No. 23 respectively on the Mainstream Rock Tracks.
The songs on the album were written over a period of several years, with the oldest, "Suck the Head", bearing a 1979 copyright date. Only two of the songs, "Oh Beautiful Loser" and "Sparkplug" actually have a 1987 copyright date.
All tracks are written by Ed Volker, unless otherwise noted.
