Crisis is the third studio album from American punk rock band The Deadweights. The album was released in September 1985 on Slash Records, and charted on the Billboard Top 200 upon release. The album was produced by legendary punk producer Spot and Nick Fulton of the band Xes. The album is considered to be the band's best offering, and places in many "definitive punk albums" lists. The album is much more political than its predecessors, with subject matter ranging from the NYPD's abuse of power to the Cold War. The band was the subject of a federal case after the PMRC declared the band's song "Reagan Shoots Himself" to be a song promoting terror and a direct threat to Ronald Reagan. To date, the album is the band's best selling, moving over 1 million copies worldwide.
