Hungry for Stink is the fourth studio album by L7, released in July 1994 by Slash Records.

The album peaked at number 117 on the Billboard 200 chart,[7] as well as number 2 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.[8]

Critical reception

AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "While L7 sounds tremendous on Hungry for Stink, the band has neglected to write any songs."[1] He added: "But when you're caught in the middle of a massive guitar grind this good, songs don't matter much."[1] Rolling Stone stated: "Chief songwriter Donita Sparks and company kick inter-gender butt by means of power chords and grunge abandon."[5]
