5.0 out of 5 stars unusual anarcho punk, April 9, 2005

This review is from: Christ the Album (Audio CD)

If you're looking for a normal sort of pistols style anarcho punk band, this isn't what you'll find... This is what I would call a punk concept album, pretty much each track has a very bizzare and political intro, and some don't even have singing... But don't just burn this album from a friend, because the lyrics are really what makes this band awsome, their lyrics are very witty, angry, and ingenious... and just plain crass... If this is your first crass cd, you might also want to look into geting The Feeding of 5000, which has less intros and more punk.

This review is from: Christ the Album (Audio CD)

I used to listen to this recording over and over while on guard duty in the Army, and the LSD only made it more profound. I made a tape of it so I could reseal the album (w/poster and booklet) to pass on to my children. A must have for anybody who has a brain, or is trying to harvest one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christ the Review, March 2, 2004

This review is from: Christ the Album (Audio CD)

Crass is one of the most famous and controversial figures in anarcho-punk. Christ the Album shows why. A half studio album and half live album, this shows how chaotic Crass can be. Most of the songs begin with audio samplings from certain places and automatically kick into the song without much break.

The live disc is genius. Consisting of their most popular and infamous songs and excellent B-Sides, this shows Crass's incredible live performances.

With a great talent towards satire and knowledge, this album is one of punk's most definative releases.
