Title: sweet dreams
Review: The DK's last album contains some of JelloBiafra's most thoughtful lyrics--especially on "ChickenshitConformist and "Anarchy for Sale," which are among the most reflective punk songs ever written, and the ever-more-relevant "Triumph of the Swill." But compared to the band's previous array of concept albums, this is a sloppy rush job. Feels like they're trying to squeeze all their material onto one last hurrah. Too bad, because filler like "One-Way Ticket to Pluto" buries some real classics. Music and lyrics only truly come together for "Frankenchrist" and "Lie Detector." All that being said, this disc is still a buzzsaw through the cable holding up elevator music and all its trappings. Faded brilliance is still brilliance.--J. Ruch END
