Cracker is the debut studio album by American rock band Cracker.[6][7] It was released on March 10, 1992, by Virgin Records.
The album had sold more than 200,000 copies by April 1994.[8] "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)" was released as a single and charted at number 1 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks.
Trouser Press wrote: "On Cracker, Lowery strips rock down to its muscular essence, avoiding any of the fancy flourishes Camper Van Beethoven used that might have hurt — or strengthened — this album of catchy, clever and disarmingly ironic songs."[9]
