Album Notes & Community Reviews
A ferocious, politically charged satire taking aim at self-righteous, comfortable college-aged socialists. Jello Biafra's venomous, theatrical vocals mock the disconnect between western privilege and the brutal reality of the Khmer Rouge regime. East Bay Ray's sinister, surf-rock-inflected guitar intro and the track's driving rhythm established a sophisticated, aggressive template for the burgeoning American hardcore punk movement.
