"Inhaler" is the third studio album by TAD. It's the band's debut major label album after two albums and an EP on Sub Pop, and their first album with drummer Josh Sinder, formerly of The Accüsed. Tad toured with Soundgarden to promote the album, but it failed at making the band a big grunge phenomenon. Still, "Inhaler" is widely considered Tad's best release and one of the heaviest grunge albums to date.

The song "Grease Box" was played during the end credits of the 1994 movie "Brainscan" starring Edward Furlong.

Before being signed to Giant Records for this album, TAD had released "Lycanthrope" (with "Just Bought the Farm" as its B-side) as a single on Pusmort Records in 1992, even while still with Sub Pop. Both songs later appeared on "Inhaler".

Tad only released one single from this album while with Giant - "Leafy Incline." Its B-side was "Pale Corkscrew," which does not appear on the album.
