Album Notes & Community Reviews

Crass delivered a sprawling, remarkably uncompromising double album that served as the definitive manifesto for the British anarcho-punk movement. 'Stations of the Crass' is a fiercely aggressive, intensely raw blast of noise rock and political rage, taking aim at consumerism, religion, and Margaret Thatcher with unapologetically vulgar, rebellious fury.
