A Man's Not a Camel is Frenzal Rhomb's fourth full-length album, released in March 1999. The album was arguably the band's most successful, at least in terms of mainstream music culture. Frenzal Rhomb had languished for many years, a staple of Australian punk, but not of Australian music. The singles "You are Not My Friend", "Never Had So Much Fun" and "We're Going Out Tonight" all received considerable play-time on radio and television music video programmes, boosting the band's reputation. In July 2011, the album was voted 92nd in Triple J's Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time.[1][2][3][4]
