Yes Sir, I Will is the fifth and penultimate studio album by the English anarcho-punk band Crass. It was released in March 1983. The album is a scathing attack on then-Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Margaret Thatcher and her government, particularly in the aftermath of the Falklands War.
The album is a single, continuous piece of music, lasting just over 47 minutes. It is notable for its use of noise and free jazz improvisation, as well as its confrontational lyrics. The album cover features a photomontage of Thatcher's face imposed on a Union Jack flag, with the slogan "The nature of your oppression is the aesthetic of our anger" printed above it.
Yes Sir, I Will is considered to be one of Crass's most important albums, and it has been praised for its uncompromising stance against authority. However, it has also been criticized for its bleakness and negativity.
