Editorial Reviews
Stations of the Crass is the second album by Crass, released in 1979. The record, originally released as a double 12", includes live tracks from a gig recorded at the Pied Bull pub in Islington, London, on August 7, 1979. The first three sides contain the studio tracks and play at 45 rpm, while the final side comprises the live material and plays at 33 rpm. The album's title is not only a pun on the Catholic rite of the Stations of the Cross (such jibes against the religious establishment were typical of Crass), but is also a reference to the graffiti campaign that the band had been conducting around London's underground railway system, the cover artwork depicting a wall at Bond Street tube station that had allegedly been 'decorated' by them. Although the album met mixed critical reception at first, it managed to sell at least 20,000 copies within two weeks. The re-pressing retains the original folding out poster sleeve design and comes with a download card.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2011The essence of the anarcho-punk movement is found in the second release by a band who was as honest to their fans as they were to themselves. This is no posturing for the suits looking to greedily bank cash from chaos, but observations from the gritty streets, boarded up storefronts and declining neighborhoods as dreams turn to dust in any era.
With the avant-garde vision of Sun Ra, sonic power of the MC5 and poetic lines worthy of the Beat Generation, the CD was originally released as a 2-album set; three sides recorded in the studio four days after the concert tracks, which was side four. The incredible bluntness and wealth of timeless issues covered seem to be summarized when Steve Ignorant belts out: "They said that we were trash/Well the name is Crass, not Clash."
Working class hero, indeed.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2007Freak too shEik..This has all the punk anthems and themes of love and peace you'll ever neEd.It's sheer punk power and Crass sings their heart out in "Shaved Women/You pay." You'll never hear a more moving live performance unless you pick up thE Other songs..(AAA just messin with ya..Noogies given..)on This SAME CD sucH as "Women" and "Fight war,not WarS."Noogies given for how full of a person you'll become once You have the essence of this sink in!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2013The CD releases didn't really do the artwork justice, it is just neat to have this on vinyl. Feels more substantial. Don't throw away the plastic sleeve unless you want two loose records....there isn't a cardboard sleeve, just a big folded piece of thick paper.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2010not to sound cliche but if i have to explain it you just don't get it i miss this band
it just doesn't get any better! political and honest
often imitated NEVER DUPLICATED i bow my head
do yourself a favor
treat yourself rite
get it!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2002This is a band who defied punk convention and just went for the jugular of social injustice. Lyrically, this album is very demanding (a lyric sheet is provided). These artists are obviously very intelligent, and they make their points in a direct and laconic manner. Musically, I like Mother Earth, Darling, and Walls, but there is plenty here to make listening to this CD end to end an absolute delight. How the girl manages normal/very high/normal/very high ... voice changes, is still a mystery to me.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2016Awesome record, can't believe I waited so long to get it!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2007Those who liked the intelligent, uncompromising punk of Feeding of the 5000 will likely be thrilled with this double album. This remained #1 on the British alternative charts for an unprecedented amount of time, and it's no wonder why so many have been so deeply affected by it. Crass may rub listeners different ways, but their completely uncompromising approach to their words and music is often inspiring.
Crass come out of the gate with a different style of punk than most others. The rhythms are martial, as if leading the troops out of apathy. Their politics aren't the fashionable type. Crass live in a commune south of London that abides by the principles of "anarchy and peace," and each song is a rough-hewn composition that shows extreme commitmemt. On this record, the band stretches themseves to the limit, doubling the output of their classic Feeding of the 5000 and adding a half album of live tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Orgogliosamente punk. Ma sul serio!!!
In un periodo come questo in cui la parola punk, tra prefissi e suffissi vari, è praticamente sulla bocca di tutti gli appassionati di musica rock, può essere utile e istruttivo recuperare e valorizzare chi punk lo è stato davvero. Musicalmente e ideologicamente. E sul fatto che i Crass abbiano incarnato in pieno lo spirito anarchico della cultura punk credo non ci siano dubbi. Lasciate perdere la presunta e goffa anarchia dei Sex Pistols (quattro volenterose aspiranti rockstar in fin dei conti), la band dell'Essex faceva davvero sul serio, prendeva posizione sul serio, ci metteva la faccia sul serio. Puri e duri, idealisti fino al midollo, se la prenderanno (proprio in questo album) anche con i Clash rei di aver firmato per una major e quindi di aver tradito lo spirito autonomo del punk.
Si può condividere o meno la visione del mondo dei Crass, non si può non ammirare la loro coerenza e la dedizione alla causa.
E non si può non ammirare la loro musica. Che non ha bisogno di prefissi vari per essere definita... è fieramente punk music.
Questo "station of the crass" è il loro secondo album realizzato nel 1979 e uscito nel 1980, uno dei vertici della loro produzione (diciamo che i loro primi 3 album sono semplicemente imprescindibili).
Come detto in questo album la band se la prende con i Clash (nel brano "White punks on hope") ma come loro hanno una visione terzomondista del suono e la musica dub, reggae e addirittura rap fa capolino nel loro impasto sonoro. Che è un impasto duro e diretto, che non ammette prigionieri, un rullo compressore che scorre alla faccia di tutto e tutti. Musica per salvificare l'anima questa. Musica per arrabbiarsi per storture che oggi sono presenti come allora (una a caso, il razzismo)... Musica per ribellarsi anche se solo nella propria solitaria militanza, nel sicuro della propria casa.
Non si risparmiano in energia i Crass ne in termini di quantità... qui dentro ci sono 78 minuti di musica che sono un perfetto "Bignami" (i vecchietti come me sanno bene cosa era il Bignami.... ci ha salvato da tante insufficienze sicure...) del suono punk. Quello vero. Quello puro. E fiero di esserlo.
