Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Steve Albini, 'Head' is the ferocious debut album from The Jesus Lizard, defining their signature, tightly wound noise rock sound. The band employs a punishing rhythm section and highly dissonant guitar lines to backdrop David Yow's manic, vulgar, and distinctly nihilistic vocal performances.
