Dealing With It!

by D.R.I.

Dealing With It! cover art

D.R.I. fully crystallized the crossover thrash movement on 'Dealing With It!', masterfully merging the blistering speed of hardcore punk with the heavy, palm-muted riffs of heavy metal. The record features incredibly brief, hyper-energetic tracks that tackle political corruption and societal decay with sarcastic, misanthropic rage. It remains an aggressive, widely influential blueprint for late-80s extreme music.
