The album title, , came from Albini thinking about how people would ask him to describe Big Black’s music. “The term ‘rock & roll music’ originally meant dirty songs about fucking,” he says. “It was rhythmic songs that were euphemistically or explicitly about fucking. Songs about fucking – that’s what rock & roll meant. And then the Parents’ Music Resource Center was trying to rein in the subject matter of popular music and art at the time. We wanted to explicitly decline to participate in that reining in. We wanted to make filthy music. We wanted to make records. We wanted to be explicit about our willingness to offend people.”
