There were so many punk bands around the time when this album was made.But none captured the raw power and guts of punk like this one did.A must have for any hardcore punk rocker. O'canada.

This is the one that will kick you in the mouth and leave you smiling for more. Must have for the hardcore collection, Canadian dunkards that will steal leather jacket.

I have been listening to Dayglo Abortions for 13 years now, and I have yet to grow tired of the music. Stupid World and I Want to be An East Indian are amongst my favourite tunes. I recently saw Dayglo at The Babylon in Ottawa, Ontario and found my self suprised with the energy the foursome of 40-some year olds displayed. They changed Canadian Free-Speech Laws when the supreme court tried to have them censored and showed that true-canadian punk can't be stopped.

I AM PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN

PASS ME ANOTHER DAYGLO ALBUM

after 17 years of owning this album i know every once in a while i can stick it on, and it still sounds great..fast ,urgent,snotty,drunk, nonsense punk rock crunch..hallelujah and may the lord have mercy on their poor polluted souls...

I used to have this cd a few years ago , I had to buy it again. These guys sound good but I mainly just find it to be funny above anything else. Id recommend it if youd like a good laugh.

This album is awsome, it is a true example that local Punk is the best and most true Punk. God bless Victoria... Anyways, if you are a true Punker, you should be if you are looking a this CD, it is for you. You'll get your money's worth.

Well, I'm suprised that the Dayglo's have got so many international listeners. Pretty good for a Victoria punk band. I've been listening for quite a few years and I'ld say this album is the dayglo's at there worst. And I definatly recomend. P

This, the debut album of the Dayglo Abortions, is the unquestionably the best thing they ever put out. "Here Today, Guano Tomorrow", the sophomore release, suffers the same problem as the Plasmatics' 2nd album; it's more metal than thrash, and not nearly as effective as satire.

Considering the relatively vast amount of quality punk that came out of the Vancouver (and Canada in general) scene, this is and was one of the diamonds. Having seen the band a few years back, my brother was told by the lead singer NOT to buy the first album (due to their not receiving any royalties off it), and this may not be the case anymore, but wherever the royalties go, this is one in a series of essential punk releases.

Similarly, check out Art Bergman's "Young Canadians," "Pointed Sticks", "Crash Kills Five", and of course, the timeless "D.O.A."

This album is awsome, it is a true example that local Punk is the best and most true Punk. God bless Victoria... Anyways, if you are a true Punker, you should be if you are looking a this CD, it is for you. You'll get your money's worth.

If I were to put a single album in a time capsule to tell the future what 1980's punk was all about, it would be this album. It's tasteless, low-brow, beer-drenched, and political -but without any pretense to intellectual sophistication or political correctness. There more than one song about nuclear apocalypse and Ronald Reagan is ON THE COVER. (Somehow punk has never been the same without Ronald Reagan...)

Then there's the song "I am my own God," which speaks for itself. ("I can do whatever I want, cuz I'm my own God. Don't have to worry if its right or wrong, cuz I'm my own God." Nietzsche could not have said it better.)

The music is amateurish and derivative, but you can tell these guys poured themselves into it, and in this game that's what counts.

This is the soundtrack to juvenile intensive probation. It smells like spraypaint, cigarettes, and Milwaukee's Best. Get a Walkman, and listen to this on cassette tape while learning to ride a skateboard.
