Sultans of Sentiment is the second album by the indie rock band the Van Pelt, released in 1997. In 2014, the album was remastered and reissued by La Castanya Records.

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "their formula works brilliantly on this ten-track CD, with Chris Leo's grueling spoken vocals clearly paving the way for the evocative rock the rest of the band contributes." Vulture.com described "Nanzen Kills a Cat" as "a near-perfect encapsulation" of the emo genre.
