My vote goes to "Dealing With It"
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 13 April 2009 12:08 (fifteen years ago) link
I was getting out, without a doubtThis was my last patrol, wished I could shoutBut then the reds were thereWe were taking our shareFifteen to thirty, but fair is fairI was fighting wild, shooting blindNothing I could do, nowhere I could goSomeone yelled, "Keep your head down low!"I heard men crying, knew they were dyingAnd for the first time, I realizedMy sergeant lied!
On my way home in a body bagA one-way ticket, but I couldn't bragI was seeing green, seeing redWith an aching, throbbing, emptiness in my headTrying to breathe, I fought for airI was alive, but nobody caredWe left the planetThen we had landedSoon picked up by an army truckSomeone gave me a shovel and told me to digI 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.

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"

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 (thirteen years ago) link
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?

(in April, but still!)
I would recommend the Dirty Rotten LP over just about anything and in just about any situation, to anyone.

I have all their albums from Dealing With It through Thrash Zone. I guess the Dirty Rotten LP is songs from Dealing With It in demo form or something? This wasn't available when I was a young thrasher punk buying tapes at the mall. Worth hearing, I guess?
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Friday, 5 February 2016 15:49 (eight years ago) link
Oh and I missed the poll but based on those four, I'd go with DWI
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Friday, 5 February 2016 15:51 (eight years ago) link
lots of songs not on DWI iirc, wouldn't call them "demo" form cuz it is really their 1st full length but they are rawer & less produced, you need it.
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Friday, 5 February 2016 15:53 (eight years ago) link
When I was a kid, I had both and preferred Dealing With It! There was a lot of overlap between the two, especially when the first LP was bundled with the Violent Pacification EP. Listen to it, it won't take too much time out of your day or anything.
And in other news, here's You Say I'm Scum, which I never had as a kid because I had the cassette.

Interesting story about me and DRI: In 6th grade, a friend got really into them, and to try to get me to like them, he lent me the inlay card of the cassette for the day. I spent most of that school day reading the tiny printed lyrics on the j-card, so I was way more familiar with the lyrics before I even heard the band! Of all the ways I've gotten into bands (especially punk / hc / metal bands), that's one of the more unorthodox.
Of course, when I did finally hear the album, as soon as "Snap" started, I knew it was gonna be my new favorite band. I can still recite the lyrics to a lot of these songs.
Kinda strange how DRI lyrics got dumber and dumber over the years.
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Friday, 5 February 2016 16:06 (eight years ago) link
ha, was just telling my wife "I know every single word to all of these songs" last night
I am a purist snob who has never even listened to Crossover, should I try it?
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Friday, 5 February 2016 16:12 (eight years ago) link
I dunno. It was a pretty steep decline iirc. I actually prefer Four Of A Kind to Crossover. "Suit and Tie Guy" is a good one, and "Dead In A Ditch."
