90 is the second studio album by British electronic music group 808 State, released on 4 December 1989 as their first album on ZTT Records.[5] The album features the single "Pacific State", which reached number 10 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1989. 90 was released in the United States as Utd. State 90, without "The Fat Shadow (Pointy Head Mix)", but with other bonus tracks.

Slant Magazine listed the album at number 54 on its list of the "Best Albums of the 1980s", calling it a "thrilling expansion of the possibilities for acid house and arguably the best LP ever produced in the style".[6] The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[7]
