Free Music Notes for Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death

Free Music Review: Anarchism Gets Funky
Hit: 5 Stars

Here's my top three favorite bass players ever:
1) Twiggy Ramirez - Marilyn Manson
2) Jimmy Bain - Dio
3) Klaus Flouride - DEAD KENNEDYS!!!!

Klaus Flouride is my third favorite bass player ever!!! He's my third best influence to start playing the bass. Anyway...
This album is the DK's funnest album. There's some skits,
some short songs, and some awsome songs. Don't even try to tell me you've gotten the first verse of Police Truck out of your head!!! Here's my Opinion:

Police Truck - The best on the album!!! The lyrics have a sort naughty ecstacy feeling. 6/5

Too Drunk To F*** - The second best!!! I've had the chorus caught in my head for days! 5/5

California ?ber Alles - Another song that the DK's are most well-know for, great! Goood bass KF! 5/5

The Man With The Dogs - The insterments are simular to I Kill Children from FFFRV. 4.5/5

In-sight - Simular to Drug Me from FFFRV. 4.5/5

Life Sentence - Angry lyrics. Almost like Jello is gonna bust out screaming, but he dosen't Good bass once more. 5/5

A Child and His Lawn Mower - Okay, a 55 second song that is just a filler track. 3.75/5

Holiday in Cambodia - A good dark heavy song that probably made the DK's the outcasts they are! 5/5

I Fought The Law - Funny, addictive, catchy, I LUV IT! 5/5

Saturday Night Holocaust - KF's best work on the album. Slow and scary. 5/5

Pull My Strings - A 1975 sounding folk-like song. funny. "Is my brain small enough, is my co*k big enough, for you to make me a star!" 5/5

Short Songs - "I like short songs!" 0:27 sec. 4/5

Straight A's - Has a neat swing to it. 5/5

Kinky Sex (Makes the World Go Around) - a very "plesent" phone call about something to do with the government. Instermental background music. 4.5/5

The Prey - A song that is rather dreary, but not repetitive. 4.5/5

Night of the Living Rednecks - Completely Hilarious!!! I listened to it about 7 times. 5/5

Buzzbomb from Pasadena - Funny song, Jello's vocals make me think of an old lady singing this, and I nearly wet myself with laughter. 5/5

These are the punk gods in my book, DK and The Misfits are the two best punk bands ever! Don't waste your money buying some overrated pop ... like Blink-182, or Good Charlotte.

I was lucky enough to get the Alternative Tentacles version of this album. If you respect Jello Biafra, Try to get one. Plus they sound better.

Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death by Dead Kennedys

Track for track and album after album, the Dead Kennedys were the most relentlessly political and controversial stateside punk rock band to gain much public notoriety. Originally released in 1987, Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death collects 17 of the band's singles, compilation tracks, and rarities spanning the eight years they played together. This is a wide and deep collection of favorites like "California Über Alles" and "Holiday in Cambodia," but the real reason to pick up this disc is the more obscure and rare material. From 1979, "Night of the Living Rednecks" has hyperactive mouthpiece Jello Biafra relating a tale of being chased by irate rednecks while the rhythm sections jams. Their version of "I Fought the Law" rewrites it into a true-to-life murder ballad, while rippers like "Life Sentence," "Insight," "Pull My Strings" and "Straight A's" are off the map unless you were lucky enough to pick up the original singles or compilations that they're pulled from. And "Kinky Sex Makes the World Go 'Round" is Biafra at his sarcastic best, as he tells of one corporate head instructing another on the economic necessity of a new war. The DKs were a truly important and relevant band, and Give Me Convenience provides 17 livid reasons why. Boy, could we use them now. --Carl Hanni
