My thoughts exactly. This is still my favorite punk record ever. It stands as one of the few punk records I've heard that makes a musical statement that goes well beyond the "punk" musical idiom and volcabulary. It also reinforced and clarified much of how I saw the world when I was exposed to it at 14.

I was delighted to find out years later that Biafra's main musical influences on this record included "The Sacred Idol" by Les Baxter, which is a fantastic record in its own right - kind of a "Daphnis et Chloe", but set in Aztecs vs. Spaniard times instead of Greek antiquity, with a touch of Stravinsky to give it edge.

NOT CRAP, no waffle factor despite the varying quality of their output.
