Character Assassination is the eighth solo album by Australian guitarist and songwriter Ed Kuepper recorded in 1994 and released on the Hot label.[1] Early pressings of the album were released with an additional disc Death to the Howdy-Doody Brigade containing the undubbed master versions of all songs but one from Character Assassination and one new song.

Reception

Шаблон:Music ratings The album spent three weeks in the Australian charts in 1994 peaking at number 32.[2] Character Assassination was nominated for an ARIA for the Best Independent Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 1995 and Kuepper was nominated for Best Male Artist.[3]

The AllMusic review by Ned Raggett awarded the album 4 stars and states "Kuepper once again demonstrates his talent for instantly appealing, addictive music on Character Assassination. The whole album is for the most part a stripped-down experience, not an unplugged or wholly acoustic effort by any means and often taking a faster pace, but eschewing Kuepper's fiercer guitar work and fuller arrangements for a calmer, less explosive turn".[4]
