"The Age of Quarrel" is the first album from the New York hardcore band Cro-Mags. It was released on Profile Records in 1986 and subsequently re-released by Another Planet in 1994, along with their second album, 1989's "Best Wishes", on the same disc. The video for "We Gotta Know" received airplay on MTV at the time (during their heavy metal specialty show), and was one of the first-ever clips on MTV to feature slam dancing and crowd surfing.

Overview

Most of the songs are executed at speed with vocals from John Joseph, which inspired sound-alikes. However, "Malfunction" and "Life of My Own" are slower songs that foreshadowed the more metallic influences on their next project, the crossover thrash bracketed "Best Wishes."

The title refers to the Kali Yuga, the fourth age of the world in Hinduism, characterized by spiritual degeneration; Hindus believe the current era is the Kali Yuga.
