The Great Depression is the debut studio album by Canadian musical duo Common Grackle. It was released on Fake Four Inc. in 2010. It features guest appearances from Kool Keith and Ceschi.[3]

Critical reception

Brett Uddenberg of URB gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "The dense lyrics and smooth delivery of Pepper, avant-garde procuction of Factor and short-but-sweet guest shots from Ceschi all make for a wildly-entertaining and rewarding listen."[2] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters called it "one of 2010's hidden musical gems."[4]
