Dead Kennedys - Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death (Alternative Tentacles/1987)

This one isn't as raw or loud, it's more collected.  Still funny though, especially with Jello on vocals.  The music is catchy especially tunes like "Holiday In Cambodia" and "Too Drunk To Fuck."  But the whole album is good, even Jello's story about his Portland experience.  This is a hardcore punk rock band that's got a huge history.  The 5 albums that I own on CD are all good.  This one has a better production sound, it's not really as extreme as previous releases.  This is the last one that I have with Jello on vocals.  And it's the last one I'll ever own.

The music is loud, but not as much say 'Plastic Surgery Disasters' or 'Bedtime For Democracy'.  It's still really good though.  Just not my favorite.  Maybe it's because I've heard it too many times.

But yeah, it's still a classic in their discography.  It's more collected.  An awesome punk rock album that every fan should own.  I know that punk is dead nowadays, but I'll say it again that it's influential.

Jello's vocals are still funny, just not as crazy really.  He's not all over the place.  He doesn't have as much energy on this one, but it's still good.  I prefer their older material.  But some prefer this.  It's subjective.

Get this CD and support music!!  You can check it out on YouTube first if you want.  But owning the CD supports the music community.  Don't let it die out, purchase it on Amazon or your record store!!
