Receiving The Gift of Flavor is the fourth studio album by The Urge. It was originally released in 1995 in cassette and CD format under the band's own label Neat Guy Recordings. After the band was signed to Immortal Records, the album was re-released switching out the song "Killing is Easy" for "Take Away" in 1996. The album produced three singles ("Brainless", "All Washed Up" and "It's Gettin' Hectic", a Brand New Heavies cover) and sold 150,000 copies.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album, the band re-recorded the album live before a studio audience at the Ozark Theater in Webster Groves, MO on August 15, 2015.^[2] The live re-recording was released on November 20, 2015, and includes similar cover art with a blue background. ^[3]
