Headache is a 1987 EP by Chicago post-hardcore noise-rock band Big Black. The record generated some controversy due to a cover photograph of a shotgun suicide victim whose head was split in half (though it appeared only on a very limited edition of the record). Original pressings bore the sticker reading "Not as good as Atomizer, so don't get your hopes up, cheese!", not as a gimmick but to warn fans as the band really did think that Headache was not the stronger release.
