Songs About Fucking is the second and final studio album by American rock band Big Black, released in 1987 by Touch and Go Records.

[12] Lyrical themes on the album include South American killing techniques ("Colombian Necktie"), psychedelic substances ("Ergot"), and how "slowly, without trying, everyone becomes what he despises most".

[12] While the album's title (commonly blanked out when displayed in shops on its release)[citation needed] and the sleeve were controversial, according to one reviewer, "as brutal as that cover is, the music is even more so",[13] and it was considered "as dark and frightening as the band name suggests" by another, Treble's Hubert Vigilla, who goes on to say "Songs About Fucking is loud, it's abrasive, it's unattractive in the extreme ...

[14] Dave Henderson of Underground magazine gave the album a 2.5/3 rating, calling it "a napalm attack that sticks to your skin like burning party-jell, spiced with hundreds and thousands, a prickly sensation that's as all-consuming as it is repellent".

In this farewell version it gains just enough clarity and momentum to make its inhumanity ineluctable, and the absence of lyrics that betray Albini's roots in yellow journalism reinforces an illusion of depth".
