full Isaac is the debut studio album by Lotion, released in 1994. The album was named in reference to The Love Boat.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "Lotion’s songwriting isn’t yet strong enough to connect the dots of [the album's] eclectic canvas, and [Tony] Zajkowski lacks the vocal presence to hold the pieces together. As nice as the parts are, Full Isaac scatters at the mildest breeze." Uncut called the album "a fine debut."

The Village Voice selected full Isaac as a 1994 "Album of the Year."
