Trans Am is the debut album by the American band Trans Am, released on January 30, 1996, by Thrill Jockey Records.[1][2] The band supported the album with a North American tour.[3]

The material on Trans Am has been characterized as "big dumb rock (of the tongue-in-cheek variety)" by Sean Cooper of AllMusic. The instrumentation is considered to be technical. Some of the guitar licks have drawn comparisons to Foreigner and Boston.[4]

Artwork

The album's artwork was taken from the cover of a 10" flexi disc Space Sounds, which was part of Our Universe Space Kit, published by National Geographic Society in 1980.[5]
