Screw Up is the 1994 debut studio album by Japanese group Super Junky Monkey.[4][5] It showcased their fusion of rap, hardcore, punk, and funk music. It was released in Japan and, in 1995, the United States.[3][6]

Critical reception

AllMusic called the album "a surprising success," writing that "listeners may not be sure what to make of Super Junky Monkey, but anyone looking for a unique take on rock and metal would surely find themselves greatly amused and delighted."[2] Trouser Press wrote that "Super Junky Monkey bring the chops and enormous flexibility to their funhouse vision of modern music, but sometimes crazy shit is just crazy shit."[7] The Baltimore Sun called the band "eclectic" and "daring," writing that "'Kioku no netsuzou' alternates between crunchy Metallica-style power riffs and angular, King Crimson dissonance before dropping a few rap-style rhymes."[8]
