D.R.I.'s best hardcore release. This was before they'd released Crossover, so this album is still mostly hardcore punk with only slight tinges of thrash metal. Most songs here are fast and only two songs here are above three minutes, but in general there's a lot more variety than on the Dirty Rotten LP. Highlights include I'd Rather Be Sleeping, Soup Kitchen, Mad Man, Stupid Stupid War, Couch Slouch (Which originates from their Violent Pacification EP), God Is Broke, Karma (which to me is one of the most metallic songs here), Argument Then War, and the re-recordings of The Explorer and Reaganomics.
