Rated 8/10

A great set of songs compiled from the influental career of Dead Kennedys. It collects songs from those essential singles, some unique live performances like the now eternalized "Pull My Strings" and their compilation and live appearances.

Note how I didn't use a favorable epithet for the last two. That's because at the end of the day, if you aren't a fan looking to expand your DK listening palate, you should stay away from the back end of this comp. Still, the first half of it is essential hardcore punk, and I'm sure you will manage to find love for the rest of the songs like I did when I first started listening to this great compilation.
