Not smart enough to be anything else.\" Probably the truest thing ever said of this band--who, for a time in the early 1980s, represented to a quivering Middle America everything that was sick, seditious and unholy about punk rock. Singer Jello Biafra almost instinctively recognized the wisdom of marrying leftist radicalism with overdriven guitars--that, yes, the medium would swamp the message, but it would also empower it. Ultimately, however, the band were undone by the limitations of their format. Considered song-by-song--and there are 21 of them here, ranging from the compelling (\"Buzzbomb\", \"Forest Fire\") to the truly abysmal (\"Religious Vomit\")--their sound was too abrasive, and their pace too unvarying, to ever extend the limits of the form. And while certain sentiments remain valid--\"Nazi Punks Fuck Off\" is as noble (and as necessary) a gesture today as it was back then--it fell to a later generation (Black Flag, Minor Threat, Hüsker Dü) to bring actual songcraft to hardcore. \n--Andrew McGuire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 721616002720\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0721616002720\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Used Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526011785475,"sku":"0E-HM8C-P6UM","price":6.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/415Y62ZPKNL.jpg?v=1646079575","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/plastic-surgery-in-god-we-trust-inc","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
