Crank is the fourth studio album released by Scottish heavy metal band The Almighty. Two singles, "Jonestown Mind" and "Wrench" were released from the album in multiple parts in the United Kingdom. Music videos were made for both singles. Crank peaked at #15 in the UK albums chart. Crank is a slang term for low-purity Crystal methamphetamine that is usually administered in powder form. It is a stimulant that affects the Central nervous system by causing increased alertness and heart rate. An extended high is usually followed by a severe crash that can result in aggression from the user. The cover artwork, showing an angel throwing a Molotov cocktail at a planet (earth) made out of money was created by noted British artist and anarchist Jamie Reid, who also designed the famous ransom note cover for the Sex Pistols album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols.

The album was remastered and re-released only in Japan under the Victor Entertainment label including all the studio b-sides from singles released from the album.^[1]

Andy Cairns, front-man of North Irish Alt-metal band Therapy? contributed vocals to several tracks.
