"Age of Reptiles" is an album by the band Showbread. It was released on August 1, 2006. It sold over 4,000 copies in its first week.

Reaction of Fans

Upon its release, the album ignited a controversy among fans of Showbread's previous record, "No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical." The songs containing less of a "spastic" sound and less screaming vocals left fans of the hardcore music genre disappointed. A presumably equalweasel-inline amount of Showbread fans maintain that it is their best work to date. On August 8, 2006, the band responded with a statement on their official website [ [http://www.showbread.net/journal.php Showbread's Band Journal] ] . Oh! Emetophobia! was first performed at the Underground Cafe in Roseville, California sometime in March of 2006.

Production Mistakes

Although track 7 is labeled "Centipede Sisters" and track 8 is labeled "The Jesus Lizard," the two titles are in the wrong order. "The Jesus Lizard" should come first, then "Centipede Sisters."

On the lyrics section, the lyrics to "George Romero Will Be At Our Wedding" are printed twice.
