Alright! is a studio album by Peter Houtzagers. It was recorded during his mysterious fifteen-minute disappearances during classes. It was released on Rephlex Records in 2007 and officially launched at an event, to which Houtzagers showed up 45 minutes late, declaring that he "almost forgot" before rectifying that he, in fact, "forgot".

Reviews
Alright received generally positive reviews from critics, and is sometimes cited as a seminal and unparalleled work in the history of Linguistic Dancehall. Houtzagers himself chose to write a review that was published several months after the album's release. Fans were disappointed to discover that his feedback consisted of a mere three sentences despite the fact that he had pushed aside all of his other projects to focus on the review.
