Slip is the debut studio album by American post-hardcore band Quicksand, released February 9, 1993 on the Polydor label. "Omission" and "Unfulfilled" first appeared on their 1990 self-titled EP. Slip was well received by music critics and is now seen to be a classic in the post-hardcore and alternative metal genres, influencing many acts including Torche and Deftones.
The lead single off the album, "Fazer", became a college radio hit. The album was reissued on vinyl in 2012, through Dine Alone Records and Shop Radio Cast. The reissue featured a cover of The Smiths song, "How Soon Is Now?".

Critical reception
The album generally received positive reviews from music critics. AllMusic senior critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "Quicksand's music is about powerful anger, and the persistent, bludgeoning Slip delivers the goods." Gina Arnold of Entertainment Weekly stated: "Quicksand is derivative, but at least its operative influences -- Helmet and Fugazi -- are highly agreeable ones." BBC's Alex Deller described the record as a "40-minute master class in post-hardcore perfection."
The album is included in Decibel magazine's Hall of Fame.
