Skream! is the self-titled, debut album by dubstep producer Skream. It was released in 2006 on the Tempa label.[7] The album is considered to be an important stepping stone for dubstep. BBC Music described it as having "accelerated dubstep’s transformation from hyped underground scene to [a] sort of influential [genre]", as it fuzes more "old-school rave" sounds with more accessible "pop" sounds.[8] The album predates the highly popular and influential dubstep works by producers such as Skrillex, sometimes disparagingly referred to as "brostep". It essentially serves as an accessible entry into "classic dubstep".[9]

The album received positive reviews from critics. Ben Thompson of the Guardian described the track Summer Dreams as "a moving tribute to the last indigenous British dance upsurge...".[10] Eddy Lawrence from Time Out commented that "Skream finds beauty in the least obvious places".[11]
