Just Add Life is a 1996 album by Scottish heavy metal band The Almighty; it was the band's fifth studio album and the last released until 2000's self-titled album during which time the band split up. Two singles, "All Sussed Out" and "Do You Understand" were released from the album in multiple parts in the United Kingdom and both were made into music videos. The song "Coalition Star" was co-written with members of punk band The Ruts, of which Warwick was a fan. The album was also issued as a two disc set including the bonus studio track "Misery Guts" and a 17-track live disc known as Just Add Live.
