Wait...are we talking Dirty Rotten Imbeciles? I barely know that band, though I know their name.

Yes, of course.

Sigh. Oh man, I need to get my shit in gear then. See this is what happened to me with that other punk band...Rudimentary Peni. I didn't hear them for years and years and then I found I liked them a lot. Can you recommend me an album of DRI?

― Gross Chapel British Grenadiers (Bimble), Monday, 13 April 2009 08:32 (4 years ago) Permalink

Shit, you like Rudimentary Peni!?

I would recommend the Dirty Rotten LP over just about anything and in just about any situation, to anyone.

Hahahaha I'll look for it! But with all due respect, something that has 22 songs on it can't possibly be an EP, right? I mean if you're past 5 or 6 songs...and they called it an EP? That's hilarious!

It was only 18 minutes long.

oh yeah this is fun stuff. Does Libcrypt know this stuff?

I don't know, I'm not up on that crypt tonight.

Yeah dude, this is the kind of stuff that takes me back to when I was 13 or 14 years old. Haha I love this kind of shit. Good god.

My vote goes to "Dealing With It"

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 13 April 2009 12:08 (4 years ago) Permalink

I was getting out, without a doubt
This was my last patrol, wished I could shout
But then the reds were there
We were taking our share
Fifteen to thirty, but fair is fair
I was fighting wild, shooting blind
Nothing I could do, nowhere I could go
Someone yelled, "Keep your head down low!"
I heard men crying, knew they were dying
And for the first time, I realized
My sergeant lied!

On my way home in a body bag
A one-way ticket, but I couldn't brag
I was seeing green, seeing red
With an aching, throbbing, emptiness in my head
Trying to breathe, I fought for air
I was alive, but nobody cared
We left the planet
Then we had landed
Soon picked up by an army truck
Someone gave me a shovel and told me to dig
I said, "FUCK OFF AND DIE, CAPITALIST PIG!"

DIE PIG!

I only know the 1st 2 - which are hard to choose between, the 1st is more manic thrash while the 2nd is a bit tighter and more metallic.

I've always heard the rest suck, but then I also know a lot of punk fans don't even like Dealing With It, so for all I know the later ones could be good too.

There's some good stuff on the crossover albums, but mostly it's not as fun. "Dead in a Ditch" from 4-of-a-Kind is one of their best though.

I'm choosing the Violent Pacification e.p., and you can't stop me.

I love the DRLP and Dealing With It, but you just can't fuck with the original.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

works for me.

yeah that vote distribution reflects my taste pretty well, although if it was a 5 star scale both the debut and Dealing would get 5.

I do so love the acapella verse of "That Makes Sense"

Nothing I could do
Nowhere I could go
Someone yelled
"Keep your head down low!"
I heard men crying
Knew they were dying
For the first time I realized:
MY SERGEANT LIED!

Does anyone have their Beer City LP reissues? I listened to the first album for a second in the record store after finding it used, and it sounded like SHIT from what I could tell. Way worse than the CD copy I had a long time ago. Could have been the headphones and/or turntable -- second opinions?

― Reatards Unite, Sunday, 5 June 2011 16:53 (1 year ago) Permalink

tbh I all I've got is the CDs but I just saw DRI 2 nights in a row and they were fucking awesome OK last night they only played for half an hour but tonight they ripped it

OK last night they only played for half an hour

Did they play both of their first two albums or half of their last one?
