Do You Like Rock Music? is the third album from the Brighton-based English band, British Sea Power. It was released on 14 January 2008 in the UK and 12 February 2008 in the United States. The album is preceded by the Krankenhaus? EP, released on digital download on 8 October 2007.
It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 10 and the Irish Albums Chart at number 37.
It is one of the few albums to not receive an actual numerical review from Pitchfork Media, instead initially receiving a rating of "U.2", with a middling review citing its ambitious nature while stating "Do You Like Rock Music? doesn't fail miserably... but disappoints gently." After a change to their site layout and rating presentation, that rating now appears as 8.2, though the review itself has not changed.
The album was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize on July 22, 2008.
