The infamous debut record. Flo And Eddie's production doesn't help, but DMZ's retrogressive sound did not, at the time, fit the punk model. As a result, they seemed curiously out of place when compared to the other Sire offerings, specifically The Ramones and Richard Hell and the Voidoids. Still, this record explodes from the turntable with the benzedrine grunge of "Mighty Idy" and doesn't let up. Sure, it could've been better, but it's not nearly as bad as has been alleged. ~ John Dougan
