Review

Q (6/01, p.127) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A serviceable hits and B-sides collection..."
Alternative Press (11/01, pp.80-1) - "...An essential Dead Kennedy's collection....highlighting their ability to make surf guitar sound menacing...while sowing the seeds of punk-rock discontent..."
NME (3/17/01, p.31) - 7 out of 10 - "...Compiles 'Too Drunk To F***', 'Holiday In Cambodia', et al with B-sides and rarities tidily enough..."

If you could only own a single Dead Kennedys' album, your best bet would be 1987's 17-track compilation GIVE ME CONVENIENCE OR GIVE ME DEATH. Collecting the controversial quartet's best-known tracks as well as scattered oddities, CONVENIENCE is the ultimate Dead Kennedys set. The Dead Kennedys are categorized by singer/activist Jello Biafra's biting political commentary, the group's unwillingness to takes themselves too seriously, and some of the most memorable punk-pop of all-time (music that influenced such future chart-toppers as Green Day and the Offspring). Highlights include such punk anthems as "Police Truck," "Too Drunk to Fuck," "California Uber Alles," and "Holiday in Cambodia," plus the hilarious stage improv "Night of the Living Rednecks."
