Fast Forward Eats the Tape is the fourth studio album by Calgary melodic hardcore/skate punk band Belvedere, released on May 18, 2004.

[3] In 2016, a reviewer from Vandala Magazine covering Revenge of the Fifth would retrospectively refer to Fast Forward Eats the Tape as Belvedere's "best known album".

However, White criticized the album's production for making the music feel "thin" and lessening each song's potential impact.

White distinguished "Closed Doors," "Quicksand," "All About Perspectives," "Slaves to the Pavement," and the band's remake of "Brandy Wine" as standout tracks.

[11] In February 2024, a staff member and editor from Dying Scene declared Fast Forward Eats the Tape the 4th greatest punk album of all time, calling it "a criminally underrated record by an equally underappreciated band" and "an essential skate punk record," as well as calling it Belvedere's best album.
