This Adultery Is Ripe is the debut studio album by the American post-hardcore band The Blood Brothers, released in August 2000.  Produced by Matt Bayles, this album was recorded over a weekend [2] on a limited budget, and has been described as "stripped-down" and catchy by singer Jordan Blilie[3] The artwork to This Adultery Is Ripe is almost entirely composed of pictures taken from the 1967 film The Graduate, which is described as a "cinematic masterpiece" in the liner notes.
