I've actually never listened to this album before, though I used to love playing "Holiday in Cambodia" on Rock Band.

Between the guitar playing, the energy and Biafra's vocals and bitter satire, this is one hell of an album.

One of the best punk albums ever. I don't even know what my favourite song is. I've almost played it to death at times over the years though, it was one of the first albums I really fell in love with.

I think Outlaw left.

Great album, "Chemical Warfare" and "When Ya Get Drafted" are highlights.

On par with the Ramones or the Sex Pistols, but with much superior lyrics.

One of the best punk outfits of all time, at least for these halcyon first few albums. It always provoked my ire that Robert Christgau was so nitpicky about them.
I really like "Ill in the Head" and wish I could keep up with what 6025 was doing these days. Apparently some kind of concept heavy punk-gospel crossover, though I haven't gotten my hands on anything, to be sure.
