But 'Kill the Poor' sounds perfect for Dick Cheney's America.", Included in AP's "10 Essential Political-Revolution Albums" - "...Biafra takes on the monied classes and the government, and the songs become almost too intricate for punk. Massively influential.", 4 stars out of 5 - "Dead Kennedys could echo both the weirdness of Beefheart and the sort of spectral pop that came off Spector's production line. Still fresh. No rot.", Ranked #9 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums" - "Singer Jello Biafra's vitriolic, merciless verbal lambasting set to a musical backdrop of fervid punk...", 5 stars out of 5 - "...Dead Kennedys were surely the most influential proponents of late-'70s US punk...", 4 Stars Out of 5 -- "The Shrill, Nervy Majesty of Fruit Remains Unblemished.", "Dead Kennedys brought a horror-show vibe to punk that remains more unsettling than the Misfits' comic-book core and battier than My Chemical Romance's make-up."
