Free Music Review: The best American punk album of all time...
Hit: 5 Stars
..and one of the only punk albums from anywhere to really seem as if it's taking chances. PLASTIC SURGERY DISASTERS is an absolute juggernaut of a record -- Dead Kennedys sound angrier here than on any of their other releases, the songs are more vicious in their assessment of American society and international interactions, and the stakes seem higher than on pretty much any other protest album I can think of offhand. Which to some extent makes sense -- this was a fiercely leftist band dealing with the election of a president who had NONE of their interests in mind, and who in many ways threatened the security of the rights the band and its fans held dear. Rather than release a cliched-from-the-start album, preaching to the choir as so many political punk bands have, the DKs raised the stakes, talking about actual issues and fears and producing a record as paranoid as it is angry as it is funny as it is catchy. Every song on PLASTIC SURGERY DISASTERS hits the mark, from "Bleed For Me" and "I am the Owl" (both very timely in these USA-PATRIOT days of diminished rights) to "Well Paid Scientist"'s questioning of people who take high-paying jobs they're opposed to morally, to "Riot"'s warning of the futility of violent revolution without genuine motive and planning. "Halloween" alone is worth the price -- a catchy punk-rock song with a propulsive bass riff, which brags and laughs about dressing up for Halloween, only to change gears and chastise the listener for being too cowardly to express themselves the other 364 days of the year. This song is the closest punk has come to genuine subversion. As for the whole reissue-issue, I would rather buy an edition of this album from a label which actually pays its musicians a decent wage. Biafra, a long-time hero to me, treated his own bandmates as badly as Greg Ginn treated many bands on SST in the 80s and 90s. I would have saddened me to hear a DK song on a commercial, but it also saddened me to know that the other musicians who produced this, a record which truly changed my life, were not getting their fair publishing rights. I've got my old A-T vinyl for the .... FACTS inserts, but these CDs are worth the money, and I feel morally justified in buying them as well. Jello, ripping off the people you create with is the exact OPPOSITE of what punk/DIY releases are supposed to be about.
