“Return of the Giant Slits” is the second studio album by the English punk band, The Slits, released in October 1981 by CBS Records.

This album marked a departure from their earlier punk sound, embracing a more experimental approach influenced by afro-pop, dub, and world music. The album was produced by Dennis Bovell, Dick O’Dell, and The Slits. Upon its release, “Return of the Giant Slits” received mixed reviews, with some listeners finding its experimental nature challenging. However, over time, it has been re-evaluated and appreciated for its innovative fusion of genres. Pitchfork described it as “a slippery, glorious mess that will infuriate anyone expecting the Slits to revisit their debut.”
