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
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
