Lesbians on Ecstasy is the self-titled debut album of Montreal based electropunk group Lesbians on Ecstasy. It contains 11 songs, including a live bonus track. The first single is the track "Tell Me Does She Love The Bass", a reworking of the 1988 Melissa Etheridge hit "Like the Way I Do".
This record also contains several covers of other Canadian performers. "Pleasure Principal" is an electropunk response to Rough Trade's song "High School Confidential", "Kündstant Krøving" is a take at k.d. lang's biggest hit "Constant Craving", "Parachute Clubbing" is a take on Parachute Club's "Rise Up", and "Bitchsy" references the Fifth Column song "All Women Are Bitches". "Bitchsy" was featured on Queer as Folk during the final season of 2005.
In 2005, The Advocate chose Lesbians on Ecstasy as their 'Number One Album of the Year'.

"It sounds like the sort of high concept joke that's funny once -- maybe. Lesbians on Ecstasy, as their name suggests, take feminist rock classics from the past and retool them for the modern-day dance floor. But their album doesn't just take the Olivia Records catalog in toto and put a house beat behind it; Lesbians on Ecstasy is more clever and subversive than that. Rather than actually covering these songs, the quartet takes elements from them and twists them in sly, suggestive new directions: k.d. lang's torchy classic "Constant Craving" turns into the ironic Laibach-style industrial stomp of "Kundstant Kroving," for example, and the Parachute Club's cheerleading "Rise Up" becomes the suggestively throbbing "Parachute Clubbing." The best of the lot is the creepy-sexy S/M take on Rough Trade's sexual politics primer "High School Confidential." Provocative on a level somewhere between, say, Le Tigre and Peaches, Lesbians on Ecstasy have created a noisy, gleefully sloppy brand of dance-punk with brains and humor." ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
