Weird Food And Devastation is the sixth studio album by the American pop-rock band the Connells, released in 1996.[4][5]

Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote that "as usual, the overall effect is adept but underwhelming; Weird Food & Devastation should please the band's fans, but probably won't attract many new ones."[6] The Houston Press called the album "dense, dark, somewhat grungy ... the strangest Connells effort to date."[7]
