Review
While making a slight move away from the more industrialized sound in evidence on prior outings, Shihad's self-titled third recording keeps the accelerator pushed to the floor -- tracks like "Hate Boys," "Attack," and "Pig Boy" explode on impact. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Shihad is the third full-length album released by New Zealand band, Shihad.
Released in New Zealand in September 1996 on the Wildside Records label, it is sometimes known as "the fish album" - a reference to the fish that feature in the album's artwork.
The album was dedicated to the memory of the band's manager and friend, Gerald Dwyer, who had died earlier that year.
The album was recorded at York Street Studios, Auckland, New Zealand and produced & engineered by Malcolm Welsford. Tracks include the singles "La La Land", "A Day Away", "Home Again" and "Yr Head Is A Rock". "It's A Go" was released as a single in Europe and "Ghost From The Past" as a single in Australia. "Home Again" went on to be one of New Zealand's biggest hits of all time.
