Underground Album

Lyrics

Underground Album is Coe's followup to his 1978 album Nothing Sacred and contains profane, sexually explicit lyrics.

Reception

The album received widespread criticism for its profanity, racial insensitivity, and vulgarity. Despite AllMusic not formally reviewing the album, it assigned a rating of three out of five stars. The track "Nigger Fucker" led to allegations of racism against Coe. Neil Strauss characterized the content of the album as some of the most discriminatory and offensive material produced by a well-known songwriter, citing its racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and obscene nature." The lyrics included lines such as "And to think I'd ate the pussy / Where that big, black dick had been / And kissed the lips that sucked him off / Time and time again / It's enough to make a man throw up." Coe responded to the accusations by stating "Anyone that hears this album and says I'm a racist is full of shit". He also stated that he contacted Strauss during the writing of the article, but Strauss only acknowledged talking to Coe's manager, who would only comment off the record.
