Troublegum is the second major label album by the band Therapy?[3] It was released on 7 February 1994 on A&M Records. The album was recorded in 1993 at Chipping Norton Recording Studios in Oxfordshire, as well as RAK Studios and Church Studios, both in London.[4] It had a melodically dark, metal-like sound. The album contains a cover of Isolation by Joy Division, which also became a single. Troublegum is generally considered to be Therapy? at their musical and commercial peak and has since sold over one million copies worldwide. The album reached number 5 in the UK Albums Chart.[5]

The album was released on 12” vinyl, CD and Cassette. In the UK, the album was released on limited edition green 12” vinyl. There was also a green Cassette and the original CD copies had a green tray.

A remastered CD version of the album by Harvey Birrell was included in The Gemil Box, released on 18 November 2013.
