Sexual Roulette is the second studio album by Art Bergmann, released in 1990 on Duke Street Records.[1]
The album's title track is a song about HIV/AIDS.[1] The album's most successful single was "Bound for Vegas", which received wide airplay on Canadian rock radio stations.[2]
The album was favourably reviewed by music critics, with many calling it a much stronger album than Crawl with Me.[3][4] It was named as one of the year's best albums by numerous critics, including John Mackie and Greg Potter of the Vancouver Sun,[5] Tom Harrison of The Province[6] and Mark Lepage of the Montreal Gazette.[7] Lepage wrote that "there's a drunkard, a wife-beater or a psycho on every big-city street, and Vancouver's Art Bergmann writes and sings as if he's met them all",[7] and Potter described the album as "Art Bergmann in Paul Westerbergish form" while simultaneously describing The Replacements' album All Shook Down as "Paul Westerberg in Art Bergmannish form".[5]
