Hi-Fi Sci-Fi is the fifth studio album by alternative rock group Dramarama. Released in 1993, it was also their last studio album until Everybody Dies was released in 2005.

Critical reception

Robert Christgau wrote that "what's confusing, and a stroke, is that with Clem Burke pounding the skins and the band mixing and matching, it rocks louder, harder, and faster than anything they've done since going pro—or ever."
