Toast is a studio album by American post-hardcore band Tar, released in 1993 through Touch and Go Records.[3][4]
According to Stephen Howell of AllMusic: "Tar has one formula that they stick to, and that is to play very loud power chords, not using more than four or five of them in a single song."[5]

AllMusic staff writer Stephen Howell named "Mach Song" and the hidden track "The French Horn" as the album's highlights. He said: "Unfortunately, after roughly three tracks, everything on this album begins to sound very generic and stale. On top of this, vocalist/guitarist John Mohr sounds like a tone-deaf musician who's been on a bender for several days whenever he opens his mouth."[5]
