Nymphs is the debut studio album by the American rock band Nymphs, released in 1991 on Geffen Records. There were music videos made for "Imitating Angels" and "Sad and Damned". Despite Geffen's expensive promotional efforts, the album was a commercial failure.
The album was produced by Bill Price; its release was delayed after Tom Zutaut pulled Price to remix tracks by Guns N' Roses. Iggy Pop sang on "Supersonic".
Musical style
Brian Flota of AllMusic proclaimed Nymphs to be "the last great glam-metal album". Dannii Leivers opined the record to "straddle glam and grunge".

The Vancouver Sun wrote that " Lorre is a great hard-rock singer, with a clear, strong voice that pierces straight through the guitars that thunder and crash around her."
In June 2020, Nymphs was ranked in LouderSound's "10 Obscure but Absolutely Essential Grunge Albums".
