Why? Just, why?
It’s a Lot
just awful
Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables is a furious, politically charged punk record, but it does not bring anything genuinely new to the genre’s established formula. The riffs, tempos, and song structures feel so rigidly tied to classic punk conventions that the album rarely steps outside familiar territory or offers a fresh perspective in terms of sound. As the record goes on, the relentless similarity between the tracks creates the impression of hearing a single, extended song rather than a varied collection. The energy is undeniable, but the lack of musical variation and innovation makes the listen increasingly monotonous, as if one long, noisy blast had simply been stretched across the entire album.
I found it insufferable
1/5 I don't like punk
Punk band.. Music ok for punk. Fun to see them take some older songs,and put their punk rock spin on them.
I really thought I was gonna listen to the best albums I must hear before I die, not the shitty ones...
Sjonge jonge, m'n oren gaan hiervan tuiten. Meer punkmeuk in razend tempo. Er wordt nog wel aardig gespeeld, maar de zang is echt afgrijselijk. Dan nog liever de bekende volkszanger uit Fijnaart.
I don't need this kind of thing in my life and the lead singer's voice is annoying.
Ei yhtään omaan makuun, yksi kautta viisi.
I can’t do this punk shit I’m really genuinely sorry
This was painful to listen to. Couldn’t make it through more than a few minutes of a few songs. But I can see how this was way ahead of it’s time in 1980.
I've heard better sounding noises coming from my bathroom
Good music. Not a fan of the lyrics
Not good. Sounds like REM trying to do trash metal. I prefer thrash metal a lot more than this crap....and I am not a huge fan of it,
🙄🙄🙄 Just awful. I can’t understand how a person could listen to this and think “now THIS is talent!!!” Stupid lyrics, awful singing. Is there a worse combination for music out there?? It was so unpleasant. I must have a totally different idea of what the point of listeninfg to music is. Some people must listen to feel like garbage. To each his own 🤷♀️
Not for me
As much as I love the band Rage Against the Machine and the fact that the Dead Kennedy's hugely inspired them, I've never been a fan of the band particularly . I find the punk they played (despite pathing the way for many) a little too raw and primitive, Early Punk came around at a pre-teen time for me so I never really identified with it. But I can understand this identity that some would connect to, and help them rebel against society, the system, parents or the general grown up world! It's just not something I can relate to, and look back at with any warm nostalgia, it was just a noise.
All sounded the same and it wasn’t good
Yeesh
This guy's voice is like nails on a chalkboard
I don't like punk rock. I partially listened to a few tracks and it confirmed it again. I don't like punk rock.
Lot of shit
gross
Utter chaos. Not my thing.
Not really my cup of tea. Not bad punk per-say, just not my genre of choice.
Hard Pass, can't believe I made it through this garbage. I must have been feeling masochistic that day. Will never listen again.
Certainly I just HAD to hear such great tunes as “I Kill Children” and “Let’s Lynch the Landlord” before my demise. They get a point for staying on tempo at such a breakneck speed, and at least the ‘songs’ are short.
STANDOUTS: Viva Las Vegas (Cover) OVERALL: 1.5/5; fun band name though.
It’s probably wrong to complain about a band being formulaic when they invented the formula but apart from Holiday in Cambodia (which teases doing something else), everything was just ever decreasing circles of the same muddy songs and crap singing.
From track 1 this came off like a worse version of the clash album we reviewed. I really just don’t get that feeling that they truly care out of these songs. Feels like it lacks genuineness and it lost me very quickly as such.
Just terrible
I like punk, but this one sucks.
No
There is a lot of music in the world, why does this list need so much punk?
I just don’t like punk, it feels like it’s satirising something and I just can’t take it seriously
Rare 1 star review ^ω^
Holiday in Cambodia is catchy but the rest of the album just gives me a headache.
not a fan
Weir and political ... a fitting combination
What is even this crap?
Punk sucks. The only nice part of this album was that it was short, competitively.
Not really.
The titles of the soungs wouldn’t want me to play them. It not my type at all.
No just no 1
Horrible
Not my jam
My head hurts...
Deaf punk trash
Not my thing
Not my style.
Not to my tastes american punk is not good
Rubbish. Just a load of noises. I'll never get this sort of music
This album is sincerely bullshit. All the songs sound the same with some random guitar noise in the background and no correlation with the vocals or anything. It feels empty and created from an important lack of artistry. Expected Marc rating: 3
01) Kill The Poor - 5,5 02) Forward To Death - 5,0 03) When Ya Get Drafted - 5,5 04) Let's Lynch The Landlord - 5,5 05) Drug Me - 4,0 06) Your Emotions - 5,0 07) Chemical Warfare - 4,0 08) California Uber Alles - 5,0 09) I Kill Children - 5,0 10) Stealing People's Mail - 5,0 11) Funland At The Beach - 5,0 12) Ill In The Head - 4,5 13) Holiday In Cambodia - 5,5 14) Viva Las Vegas - 4,5 TOTAL: 4,93 (49/100) It stardted ok, but after a while it all just starts to sound the same - like noise...
Just not into punk rock lol
Not my favorite at all. 1.5/5
Not a fan of Dk

Would love to say short and sweet, but I'd only be 50% right. It's definitely short. But it's from the physical era, (vinyl and cd) so it would be. Heads up all you modern fake punk bands, THIS IS PUNK. Was quite listenable but got a bit samey, and I became bored. Quite an achievement in 36 minutes and 15 tracks. Would I listen again? No, 'fraid not. A high ish 1, but still just a 1
1/5. This album is dismal from the quality to the content. Top to bottom a disaster. I like some punk, but this is definitely far from the style I like.
Who listens to this
Just sounds like noise
The beat was good. I disliked the lyrics, then it was so surprising it became funny, then it started getting on my nerves. I made it to #8 before I couldn't take anymore.
What the f*** did I just listen to? Didn’t understand any of the lyrics, sounded like someone who wanted to be an edgy activist but with no musical ability. Chemical Warfare was especially painful
Got bored and didn’t finish lol soz
Maybe this style of punk rock just isn't my thing but I found the music to be uninspired, boring and repetitive and the singer is one of the most annoying singers I've ever heard. Favourite song was probably holiday in cambodia, and even then the other versions by dead kennedys are way better (e.g. give me convenience or give me death). Or maybe let's lynch the landlord, just for the sentiment :)
Terrible.
I don't do punk
Eine Platte, die ich sehr gerne nach wenigen Takten ausgemacht habe. Eine weitere Formation, von der ich auf gar keinen Fall wieder hören möchte.
Terrible thrash punk. Singer sounds like a cross between John Otway and John Lydon. Hopeless - how could this possibly be on the list?
i feel like it could have been a decent album, but the vocals completely ruined it for me
Hated listening to it from the start. Lyrics were fascinating at first but then they just got fucking weird
This is so edgy… What is going on..... My head is about to explode
Angry rock but weird and not enjoyable to listen too
Awful. As my son would say - just awful.
I have thrown up now
It sounds like a little kid singing
No thanks!
Can’t understand
No thank you
Not something I'd listen to again
классная обложка, остальное хуйня ..... не извините
Wat een herrie. Word hier niet zo zeer gelukkig van.
Nope, didn’t need to hear this before I die. Sylvia thought they sound like a South Park parody band.
2 good songs but the rest is pretty awful
Bloody racket
Awful. Nothing memorable of note, other than a sense of time being wasted listening to it. A generous 1 star.
скучно и плохо звучит
Terrible contrarian provocatives masking bad music with aggressive titles
Nope.
Hated every second of this. Forgot it was real at one point and thought it was Matt Stone and Trey Parker titting about
Sex Pistols from Wish.Com
Nope. Nope nope nope. Noooope. I listened to about half a minute of 5 tracks. That's more than enough Dead Kennedys to last me a lifetime. Clearly a very representative album - but for my #1 most disliked style of music.
Just not interested - was never my lane
Terrible
Too hard and fast
The songs were tuneless and all sounded the same.
Too close to noise for my liking.
Nope, not for me.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, wat akelig.
Ulgh, another Punk Album with hardly any musical variation within the album and between other punk albums. Viva las vegas was the only fun song to listen too, but that's a cover..
