The legendary Jello Biafra finally decided to start a whole new band, instead of collaborating with the Melvins or Pansy Division. So he got Ralph Spight from Victims Family, Billy Gould from Faith no More and some lesser known gods to play some punked up, noisy rock music. And so they did. Nicely.
The result is something what the Dead Kennedys would sound like if they had never quit. Well, that's just a guess, but it wouldn't surprise yours truly. It is rather enjoyable, but it never really impresses much. Musically.
But the most important aspect of Jello's musical outputs is, of course, the socio-political commentary. And yes, with song titles like “The Terror of Tinytown”, “New Feudalism” or “Three Strikes”, it's fairly obvious that there is more than enough of that sneering criticism to be found on this album.
So there you go. You know what to expect. You decide whether you want to hear it.
Score: 6/10
