Crass
Christ The Album (2lp)
'Christ The Album' is the fourth album by Crass, released in 1982. Unlike previous Crass albums, 'Christ' took almost a year to record, produce and mix, during which time the Falklands War had taken place. This caused Crass to fundamentally question their approach to making records. As a group whose very reason for existing was to comment on political issues, they felt they had been overtaken and made to appear redundant by real-world events. For subsequent releases, including the singles 'How Does It Feel To Be The Mother Of A Thousand Dead', 'Sheep Farming In The Falklands' and the album 'Yes Sir, I Will', the band stripped their sound "back to basics" and they were issued as "tactical responses" to political situations. 'Christ The Album' is considered to be one of Crass' best recordings.
