Dead Kennedys – Frankenchrist

129,99

Released after a three-year studio hiatus, this album picks up right where Plastic Surgery Disasters left off. As always, the lyrics are among the most literate and angry in all of rock & roll. “Goons of Hazard” scores the culture of guns and the rednecks who love them, utilizing full-textured hard rock to set the verses. “Soup Is Good Food” lacerates the concept of disposable people in disposable jobs, pairing this idea with repeated guitar riff-based music that suggests a nightmare version of 1960s songs. “Jock-O-Rama” excoriates organized sports and macho attitudes; musically, the outer sections wed rockabilly and hardcore influences, sandwiching a slow middle section that spoofs martial numbers like Barry Sadler’s “Ballad of the Green Berets.” “This Could Be Anywhere” has critical lyrics about racism and classicism set to music highly reminiscent of the Sex Pistols. “Hellnation” has garbled, wide-range, muckracking verses set to stun-speed punk that recalls numbers from In God We Trust Inc. The excellent “MTV — Get Off the Air” lambastes the corporate influences on rock & roll; musically, the song exhibits a tripartite structure, using a vacuously poppy opening, a speed hardcore central section, and a mid-tempo rocking finale that prominently features trumpet (a very brief coda reprise of hardcore ends the number). The finest selection on this album (and perhaps in the whole Dead Kennedys’ canon) is the anthemic “Stars and Stripes of Corruption.” This number also utilizes a three-part construct, consisting here of a hard-rocking midsection flanked by faster, punk-oriented material. The verses here are stunningly detailed, describing what the band believes is wrong with the United States and what the solutions should be. This wonderful and challenging album is very highly recommended.
