There was a lot of controversy surrounding this release when it hit stores back in 2004, with Jello Biafra going so far as to outright discourage fans from buying it. This was following a court decision that essentially barred Alternative Tentacles from selling Kennedys music. I won't go into all the details here, although I followed it closely at the time. I will say, however, that while I think there's something to be said for both sides of the argument, it's hard to deny that Biafra was, in fact, the principal songwriter in the band. If you're at all familiar with his non-DK musical ventures (not to mention the rest of the Kennedys virtual total absence from music after the dissolution of the band), it's fairly obvious. Legal issues aside though, this is a terrific album. The sound quality is great, as well as the performance. An essential document in the birth of California hardcore.
