Fuck the System is an album by the hardcore punk band The Exploited, released in 2003 by Dream Catcher Records. Ironically, this album was available in the US in a "clean version" with its anti-authoritarian title censored to "F*** the System" and edits made to the tracks themselves. The production value of this CD is much higher than their earlier work.

Controversy

On 14 October 2003, about 500 fans of the band started a riot in Montreal, Canada after an Exploited concert was cancelled due to the band not be allowed into the country.[5][6][7] Rioters destroyed eight cars and set them on fire; broke 11 store windows and caused other damage.[6][7] The band were banned from playing in Mexico City due to the riot.[8]
