A Punk Masterpiece That Simply Can't Be Imitated, Let Alone Duplicated November 3, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
When this album was first released it got massive airplay on Los Angeles (Pasadena) radio station KROQ - and the world was never quite the same again. California Uber Alles, Holiday In Cambodia, and Viva Las Vegas filled the airwaves, making mincemeat of AOR (Album Oriented Rock) radio stations. I studied the poster, gleaning the words to the songs, committing them to memory, and wondering when and where I could see this band!
The songs are incredibly fast, the lyrics show intelligence and political insight, and over a quarter century later still hold up well. Other bands were at the forefront of punk before the DKs, but none did it better. Listen to today's punk, then listen to this. Nothing comes close and nothing packs the whallop of these tunes. It's socially acceptable to be 50 and have a gray ponytail. The hippies of the 60's and 70's turned out to be the same greedy execs that they rallied against. But 50 year old punks are still cool and are NOT sellouts.
I love turning people on to this CD. The looks on their face are either Love It or Hate It. I don't care what age you are, music is supposed to move you, one way or the other. Most of today's music can't, even the indie stuff and all the self produced stuff. But this, my friends, is the elixir of angry punk music at it's finest. Try it - you'll LOVE it. Woooooooooo-Hoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an album, finally got this on cd after having it on vinyl and cassette. Every track makes me want to start a riot. Too bad some new bands wouldn't speak out like DK did. F@#$in brilliant!
This is THE greatest punk rock album - ever. March 5, 2006

These guys were truly a great band. It's too bad that the rest of the band hates Jello now. I probably would go see them in concert. It would be SO AWESOME to hear California Uber Alles and Chemical Warfare live. Jello has such a weird voice, and it really adds to the effect of this strangely, yet well put together rock masterpiece. The lyrics are incredibly intelligent, and thought provoking. This album perfectly fits the political situation of it's time. I swear, this IS the best punk rock CD ever recorded. Definately reccomended.

The Dead Kennedys are unbeatable. Nobody can do it better than them. Nobody can duplicate their work either. Fresh Fruit is possibly their best album. The best songs are, "Kill The Poor"(This song just all around rules) "Stealing people's mail"(This one is underrated but classic) "Let's Lynch the landlord"(I like it alot) "california Uber alles"(Not my favorite, but good lyrics.) and "Holiday in Cambodia"(A little overrated, but still good). If you are a real punk and not one of those fake Green Day posuers, get this punk rock collector's item!
Timeless....still sounds....BITCHIN!!! December 18, 2007

They have been called "hardcore" for years and I never understood why. Yes they are fast (and slow)loud and hard but not what I think of when I think of hardcore or thrash. Anyway the lyrics are timeless and conjure images of the late 50's and early 60's men in grey flannel suits, cocktail parties and men using phrases like "that's swell"! I envision Jacky O, Pol Pot, and the Bay area. The music is fast and catchy with great sing along lyrics. Great for school camp trips, retreats, and mormons.
Plastic Surgery Disasters from DK is equally as good.
Dr. Brown certifies this CD as A #1.
