Crank is the fourth studio album released by Scottish rock 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 No. 15 in the UK albums chart. 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.
Andy Cairns, frontman of the rock band Therapy?, contributed vocals to several tracks.
