this is a great opening album for this club

this album has a much more eclectic sound than their follow up "Hardcore 81" which ironically has the exact same number of songs and clocks in at about half the length....don't get me wrong there is the furious fast hardcore...specifically on 'The Prisoner' and 'The Enemy'...that i think DOA is best known for....but you also have songs like 'Whatcha Gonna Do' that really bring something that is so much more to the plate....the bonus track 'New Wave Sucks' is completely out of place with the rest of the album
