"Generations" is one of the songs on Revenge of the Goldfish, the third album from the English band Inspiral Carpets, which Mute released on 5 October 1992. The whole band takes the writing credit, Pascal Gabriel produced, Mike Dignam and Michael Hunter engineered, and Al Clay mixed, with Stan Loubières assisting.
The band took the record out on tour with Sunscreem, and the critics split on it: the Toronto Star heard a return to the punk-tinged looseness of their debut, Life, and the Los Angeles Times picked out its reverb-heavy guitars and grinding organs, while the Chicago Tribune had no patience for singer Tom Hingley's vocals. The sleeve crops a 1981 photo of a Sandy Skoglund installation that shares the album's name.
