Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (DRI) - Dirty Rotten (LP)


Mix together the early CIRCLE JERKS, early BLACK FLAG, M.D.C., MINOR THREAT, S.S.D and GANG GREEN, and you have something approximating these DIRTY ROTTEN IMBECILES (so-called by their parents). What can I say--this is manic, intense, tight thrash with great lyrics, and I can't wait till these Houston boys unleash themselves upon the rest of us deprived people. 22 songs.
-Tim Yohannon, from MRR, 1983

Dirty Rotten EP/LP is the 1983 debut release by the hardcore punk band Dirty Rotten Imbeciles. The album has a very gritty sound and is the band's only punk album without metal influence. It is considered one of the most influential hardcore albums of all time, and is also considered one of the first thrashcore albums. Originally released as a 7" Dirty Rotten EP (played at 33 RPM) with 22 songs, it sold out quickly. It was later remixed and re-released as a full album with the same 22 songs, but in a different order, and titled "Dirty Rotten LP".--wikipedia
