Hostile Ambient Takeover is an album by the Melvins, released in 2002 through Ipecac Recordings.

Each song was released as a limited 7" vinyl single (limited to 2,500 copies each) that included exclusive B-sides, which are mostly covers (except for "The Anti-Vermin Seed" which was split up onto both sides of its single).

Track listing

All songs written by Buzz Osborne except where noted. The track listing has "Black Stooges" as track 1 and has no entry for track 2, meaning that both tracks form one whole song.
