Revenge Is Sweet, and So Are You is an album by the Berkeley, California, punk rock band the Mr. T Experience, released in 1997. [5] [6]
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." [7] 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." [8]
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." [3]
