Satisfact is the eponymous second studio album by American post-punk band Satisfact. Co-produced by John Goodmanson, it was released on March 18, 1997 through K Records.[1]
The album features a continuation of the band's trademark post-punk sound of "screechy guitar sounds, hypnotic keyboard effects, robotic rhythms and monotone vocals."[2]

| AllMusic |   [2] |
AllMusic critic Mike DaRanco wrote "Suave, laid-back and borderline poppy (but not in the obnoxiously happy sort of way), Satisfact have the ability to accomplish all of this without coming close to boring the listener to death." DaRanco further stated: "They even manage to successfully incorporate a theremin on the track "Demonstration"—that alone is worth giving this record a good review."[2]
