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. In a retrospective article written for the album, Harry Sword of The Quietus refers to it as "the most caustic realization of their vision" and called it.
