"Frankenchrist," the sixth studio album by the legendary punk band Dead Kennedys, is a raw and unapologetic dive into the chaotic world of late 1980s hardcore punk. Released on December 21, 1985, under GoldState Music, this album is a powerful blend of punk, hardcore punk, skate punk, and proto-punk, clocking in at a punchy 45 minutes. The album's title track, "Frankenchrist," sets the tone with its aggressive riffs and biting lyrics, while tracks like "Soup is Good Food" and "Hellnation" deliver the band's signature blend of social commentary and punk energy. "A Growing Boy Needs His Lunch" and "Chicken Farm" showcase the band's ability to blend humor with hardcore punk, while "Stars and Stripes of Corruption" delivers a scathing critique of American politics. With its provocative lyrics and relentless energy, "Frankenchrist" is a testament to Dead Kennedys' enduring influence on the punk scene.
