Don't Blow Your Top
Encyclopedia : D : DO : DON : Don't Blow Your Top
Don't Blow Your Top is industrial rock group KMFDM's third album, released in 1988.
After the release of Don't Blow Your Top, a KMFDM tradition of using five-letter words as album titles began with 1989's UAIOE, and Don't Blow Your Top was the last KMFDM album to use a title that wasn't a five-letter word until 2005's Hau Ruck broke the tradition. The album was recorded in Hamburg, Germany with Adrian Sherwood and released in the UK on SkySaw Records, and Wax Trax in the USA.
