That Total Age is the debut studio album by the British musical group Nitzer Ebb.[1][2] After its release, it spawned the hit single "Join in the Chant", which hit No. 9 on the US dance chart in 1987. The song "Warsaw Ghetto", which was originally released as a standalone single, was included as an extra track on vinyl/cassette by Geffen Records for releases in the USA and Canada. The 2018 remastered releases by Pylon Records also includes this track, in addition to other remixes.

The symbols on the cover of the album stand for "Force is Machine", "Visions of Order", and "Muscle and Hate".[citation needed] Two of these phrases can be heard repeated in the song "Join in the Chant".
