Studio albums

Album	Date of release	Description
UltraElectroMagneticPop!	1993 BMG Music	The band's major label debut. The name of the album is a play on the technique "Ultra Electro Magnetic Top!" from the Japanese 1970's cartoon cult classic Voltes V. Better-known songs from the album include 'Toyang', 'Pare Ko', 'Tindahan Ni Aling Nena', 'Maling Akala' and 'Ligaya'. UltraElectroMagneticPop! is the only Eraserheads album where the songs were written by means of jamming.
Circus	1994 BMG Music	Their second most popular album after Cutterpillow. This album is known for the controversial 'Alapaap' and as well as their famous love song, 'With A Smile'. 'Sembreak', 'Minsan' and Magasin' are also included in this album. 'Kailan' is based on the play Manhid. The song from the Blockbuster film of the same name Wating is also on the album. Circus is also the first album produced by Robin Rivera, a partnership that lasted until the band's demise.
Cutterpillow	1995 BMG Music	One of the biggest albums in the history of Philippine music. It produced one of their biggest hits, 'Ang Huling El Bimbo,' which won them the Best Video Award in the MTV Asian Music Awards. Cutterpillow also produced other hits like 'Huwag Mo Nang Itanong,' 'Torpedo', 'Superproxy' and 'Overdrive'.
Fruitcake	1996 BMG Music	A Christmas concept album following up the EP of the same name. The record tells the story of a runaway girl who stumbles upon the fictional village "Fruitcake Heights". Hits include 'Fruitcake' and 'Trip To Jerusalem'.
Sticker Happy	1997 BMG Music	This album was notable for the heavy usage of samples and synthesizers, which the members of the band purchased in the United States during a concert tour. The songs in this album tend to be surreal in nature; The track 'Spoliarium' was named after the famous Juan Luna painting; however, the song was about alcoholism. Another song, 'Andalusian Dog', alluded to the film Un chien andalou by the Spanish surrealist director Luis Buñuel. Other hits include 'Kaliwete' and 'Para Sa Masa'. Also featured 'Bogchi Hokbu', a song later used in a snack food commercial.
Natin99	1999 BMG Music	The band's 6th album. Contains the songs 'Maselang Bahaghari' and 'Huwag Kang Matakot'.
Carbon Stereoxide	2000 BMG Music	The 7th and last Eraserheads album with Ely Buendia on vocals before Kris Dancel took his place. Includes the song 'Hula' and 'Maskara'. 'Maskara' was the last music video made by the Eraserheads.

Bananatype EP	1997 BMG Music	This album contains the song 'Harana' (not to be confused with the Parokya ni Edgar song of the same name), 'Tikman' (which was used in a Burger Machine commercial) and 'Policewoman' (which should have been part of the sound track of Joey De Leon's film, Run Barbi Run, but was not used by the producer, Regal Films).

Please Transpose EP	2003 BMG Music	The last official recording of the Eraserheads, shortened to Eheads. Features Kris Dancel (of the all-girl group "Fatal Posporos") on vocals, replacing Buendia who abruptly left the group.
