Jesus Lizard, The 'Liar'

'Liar' is the third studio album by American noise rock band The Jesus Lizard, released in 1992 by Touch and Go Records. The album is considered among the band’s best work: according to Mark Deming of AllMusic, “Liar isn’t quite the wildest or weirdest album The Jesus Lizard ever made, but it may well be the strongest, and perhaps the best.” The artwork is “Allegory of Death” by painter Malcolm Bucknall, who also provided art for the album 'Down' and the 'Puss/Oh, the Guilt' split single with Nirvana.

'Liar' was ranked as the 58th best album of the 1990s by the online music magazine Pitchfork. The album was remastered in 2009 by Steve Albini and Bob Weston, and its vinyl release is packaged in a deluxe gatefold jacket with a 12" x 24" double-sided color insert, featuring never-before-seen photos and extensive liner notes by the band and journalists from the era.
