Puzzle is the debut album by the alternative rock group dada, released in 1992 on I.R.S. Records. It contains the hit single "Dizz Knee Land". The album peaked at No. 111 on the Billboard 200. On July 13, 2004, the album was reissued with bonus tracks by Blue Cave Records.




Critical reception



Trouser Press noted that "the prevailing sensibility of Puzzle is skepticism about the Southern California dream and its undersides." The Philadelphia Daily News wrote that "Dada mines a West Coast po-mo sensibility with its Los Angeles imagery, sunny tunes and radio-friendly vocal harmonies." The Indianapolis Star said that "'Dorina' is pure craftsmanship, a tale of a barfly with a fantasy woman, perfectly expressed by spare, biting guitar with occasional breaks of scorching rock."
