Oh and I missed the poll but based on those four, I'd go with DWI

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.

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.

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?

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."

yeah I like how some of teh titles are just prescriptive as to what genre the album is
"Crossover""Thrash Zone"
― master of nuggets (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 December 2019 05:52 (four years ago) link
Crossover is good. I don't like Thrash Zone or 4 of a Kind as much but there's still good stuff on both of those
