This is the Exploited at their very best. one of the best punk albums of all time.

If you love punk music and THE EXPLOITED you must buy this album. THE EXPLOITED are on the best here and they giving all they have. Only when you'll listen to it you will know what's good punk is.

OK this album came out in 1987 and with multiple re-releases. This album is remastered...WRONG it's not. I compared all the "Remastered" versions [About 3 cds] and the only one that sounds awesome is not even a full album release it's the compilation album "25 Years Of Anarchy & Chaos", now granted only a couple of songs from DBD are present on the CD but it blows away all the so called "Remastered" versions. I know what you're saying while reading this, "It's punk rock who cares what it sounds like -Bull!! I don't know why the Exploited or Wattie allow this to happen. Now don't let this review of it sway you away- get it. It's more Metal sounding than their previous releases [after Horror Epics] and they've remained with the metal sound. Get the cd anyways cause it's good, not they're best, but good. Just don't expect it to sound like other remastered releases.

Not only did I see them at Fenders in Long Beach , California when "The Dead E.P." came out, but also for "Death before Dishnour".I have both of these tour t-shirts, and will always remember, these shows, The Exploited, RKL, Excel, Blast, and Visual Discrimination, you'll never see a line-up like that again, now , back to this album. Sure, it went down more of a metal sound, but , dammit, what a heavy album. The Dead E.P. is probably their most insightful record, or least I think so, and Death before Dishonour is just as heavy. F*** the U.K. or F*** the U.S.A. , ask Wattie , and he'll tell you.

An experimental thrashcore crossover album.Very lenghty,
(67minutes)includes 2 12''EPs.The mix and sound quality
are somewhat poor,never been remastered like the older
albums.This,together with ¨Horror Epics¨are the less
popular albums,although fans of the band will find it a must
have for the sake of completion.Artwork is great both on
booklet and CD.
With the right amount of signal processing-a lot by the way-
GREAT music comes to the surface of an otherwise dull
and muddy recording.The ¨Jesus Is Dead¨and ¨War Now¨
eps are nothing short of memorable.Only thing that prevents this recording from getting 5 stars is sound quality.I will buy
this yet again when a remastered version comes out and
put the older CD in a frame on the wall.I LOVE THIS STUFF,
LONG LIVE THE EXPLOITED !!!!!!

I like this album alright. It sounded like it started to go down that Metal direction that the group went down. You will notice it when you hear it. I tell you one thing that the songs really kick the crap out of Let's start a war.

If you love punk music and THE EXPLOITED you must buy this album. THE EXPLOITED are on the bes here and they giving all they have. Only when you'll listen to it you will know what's good punk is.

my order was canceled after a couple of days so i didn't receive the product, but they were prompt in returning my money.

I THOUGHT THIS ALBUM WAS OVERALL DISSAPPOINTING AT THE TIME IT WAS FIRST RELEASED.BUT I CONTINUALLY LISTENED TO IT OVER AN OVER AGAIN TIL'EVENTUALLY IT WASN'T ALL BAD. THE BEST SONG IS "POLICE INFORMER".
