Around the House is a 1998 studio album by British electronic musician Herbert. It was named the 96th greatest album of the 1990s by Pitchfork.[5]

Critical reception

John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it "much more suited to straight-ahead dance music than Herbert's previous work."[1] Mark Richard-San of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.7 out of 10, saying, "I would not personally rate Around the House quite as high as Bodily Functions, but this could well be a matter of which record I heard first."[3] He added: "Both albums are loaded with music of exceptionally high quality."[3]
