"Fuck World Trade" is an album by American anarcho-punk group Leftöver Crack, released in 2004 on the Alternative Tentacles label.

The album continues the band's overt anti-racist, anti-misogynist, anti-capitalist, anarcho-communist message of freedom and collectivist coexistence. This album also contains references to the fact that their first album was released the day of the September 11th attacks. That album, Mediocre Generica, was originally titled "Shoot the Kids at School", but that title was rejected by their label, Hellcat Records, a subsidy of Epitaph Records. "Fuck World Trade", released through Alternative Tentacles, displays a freer approach, both lyrically and musically, than the previous work of the band, featuring longer songs and guest appearances by Anti-Flag on "Via Sin Dios" as well as "circus-punks" The World/Inferno Friendship Society on "Soon We'll Be Dead." Despite this, it maintains the distinctive "squat-core" style members of Leftöver Crack coined to describe their previous band Choking Victim: high-speed ska mixed with thrashy punk and filled with rawly-screamed laments on and indictments of capitalism, the police, homelessness, drug addiction, and American culture. The last track Operation M.O.V.E. is about an incident in Philadelphia where police burned a public housing community. It also features a secret instrumental that brings the track length to over 10 minutes.

Critical Reception

Fuck World Trade has had mixed critical reviews. The reviewer at Drownedinsound.com gave the album 2 out of 10 stars, saying that it was "utter meaningless trash that achieves nothing but widen the dichotomy between them and anyone with at least half a braincell."

Johnny Loftus, of Allmusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, saying that while Stza is limited as a vocalist, the album is still "real revolution rock". [ [http://music.msn.com/album/?album=38153580&menu=review Fuck World Trade [Explicit by Leftöver Crack on MSN Music ] ] Punknews.org gave the album a highly postive review, saying that "Fuck World Trade is here, and is incredible.".

Controversy

With the title of the album, and the album artwork, along with the lyrical content being highly offensive to some, the release of the album caused some controversy. The album was reportedly banned by Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, Music Land, among other retailers well before its release date [ [http://www.alternativetentacles.com/product.php?product=799 Alternative Tentacles - Store ] ] .
