BIG BLACKAbrasive, influential Chicago hardcore band of the '80s that featured Steve Albini's
uncompromising lyrics and a polarizing, emotionless guitar grind.
While punk rock was always supposed to be about pushing the envelope, few post-punk
bands seemed willing to go quite so far to creatively confront their audience as Big Black.
The group's guitars alternately sliced like a machete and ground like a dentist's drill,
creating a groundbreaking and monolithic dissonance in the process.
Their use of a drum machine, cranked up to ten and sounding a tattoo that pummeled
the audience into submission, was a crucial precursor to the coming industrial music scene
while creating a sound which was far more challenging and organic than what groups
such as Ministry and Nine Inch Nails would achieve with similar ingredients.
Big Black's songs, which openly dealt with such topics as mutilation, murder, rape,
child molestation, arson, immolation, racism, and misogyny,
established them as a group that acknowledged no taboos

SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Sensibly the most developmental and skeletal of Big Black's releases,
Steve Albini's first official contribution to the rock world is a batch of sparse, minimal
new wave recorded cheaply in two different apartment locations.
With the exception of some sax provided by John Bohnen, everything is done
by the young Albini, then a student at Northwestern. Not-so-pleasant views of morality
("I Can Be Killed"), post-mortem fornication with an army vet ("Dead Billy"),
and primal living ("Steelworker") provide some of the subject matter, matching
the bleakly realist lyricism of Swans with a slight bastardization of the precise,
jagged minimalism of Wire, Devo, and Suicide. Limited to a trebly buzz
and augmented by a Casiotone, the guitar has little of the
electrifying clamor and rattle of later releases...(AllMusic)
