Limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on magenta coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. 'Inhaler' was the band's major label debut after two albums and an EP released by Sub Pop, and it was also their first album with drummer Josh Sinder, formerly of the Accüsed. Producer J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.) gave Tad a more focused and driven sound on this record. He can also be heard playing the piano on "Luminol". The song "Grease Box" was played during the end credits of the 1994 movie Brainscan. 'Inhaler' is easily their best and most consistent album to date and obtained positive critical reception upon release. Fortunately, the group has lost none of the grit that marked them as the grungiest of the Seattle scene.
