Big Black was Steve Albini's first success and they turned into quite the innovators of modern day industrial music. This is their first full length album and it's just an all around intense punk industrial masterpiece. This one is a must.

"Nothing to do, sit around at home
Sit around at home, stare at the walls
Stare at each other and wait till we die
Stare at each other and wait till we die
Probably come to die in this town
Live here my whole life
There's Kerosene around, something to do" -- Kerosene
