Against Nature is the debut album by Irish rock band Fatima Mansions.

[2][3] It was released in September 1989, receiving almost universal critical acclaim, described by NME as "staggering in its weight of ideas...never loses its capacity to suddenly stun you",[4] and also described as "a startlingly well-rounded debut".

[5] A review from AllMusic stated "Coughlan's lyrics are similarly aggressive throughout, with actions of overt and implicit violence in nearly every song and a grouchily misanthropic, almost nihilistic lyrical world-view throughout".

[7] The album would later be compiled with other pre-Viva Dead Ponies work of The Fatima Mansions on the 1992 Come Back My Children compilation album, while "Only Losers Take The Bus" would also feature on the American edition of Viva Dead Ponies.

All tracks composed and arranged by Cathal Coughlan
