This is Crass...Penis Envy...Crass Records 32198 Stereo LP 1981

takes the lead vocals throughout ' third album (the one exception being 's turn on the unnerving portrayal of hospitals and waiting for death, "Health Surface"). A powerful and challenging record, uses the brutal, cruel description of sexism and rape on the opening track, "Bata Motel," as a launching point for a comprehensive rip through societal control and repression throughout. Smart enough to target everything from the mechanics and business of selling romance ("Smother Love") to gender stereotyping ("Systematic Death") and back again, lyrically the sharpest cut is toward those who choose to accept such a system rather than reacting back against it.
