The fourth LP from the
Dead Kennedys, released in December of 1986, amidst a legal battle with the LA city prosecutor's office over a
H.R. Giger graphic in their
Frankenchrist album. IMHO, this album has the most
pontent political message of them all, not to mention some real sly
wit on
Biafra's part. Musicwise, though, its not the
greatest, but the
lyrics themselves make up for it, I think. It's just one of those albums that sounds kind of
funky(not like
p-funk funky, but more like 'uhhh...weird...umm...' funky) at first, but it grows on you.
