Lack of Communication is the debut studio album by garage rock revival band The Von Bondies.

In addition to conventional Detroit garage rock, the album also displayed other influences, such as the jazzy showtune-esque song "No Sugar Mama."

The tracks "Shallow Grave" and "Nite Train" both display surf rock passages, amidst their heavy pummeling and lyrical morbidity.

"Cass and Henry" is a sparse, almost spoken word narrative of a nocturnal encounter with a tall stranger.

"In the Act" and "Sound of Terror" contain droning slide guitar and considerably slow tempos.
