4.0 out of 5 stars MDC returns in original form, June 11, 2005

I have to admit, I tend to like MDC's more humor based, or free ranging side. My favorite tracks on this are "Ballad of G.W.," "Sick of It," "Prick Faced Bastard" (all three a bit more humor based), and "Timmy Yo" (a mellow tune, with great punk scene commentary). A lot of the faster tracks remind me of very early MDC, which is no wonder, because it is the original line-up. It's cool to see they can still move at that speed. Not a favorite release of mine because I lean towards like their more experiemental tracks, I'd still give it a 4, because this is what punk was meant to be, not the self-indulgent "sing about me, or my girlfriend, or how I'm bored" or whatever other crap passes as punk nowadays.

5.0 out of 5 stars best real old school punk/hardcore album, December 11, 2004

This is it!  Probably the best real old school punk/hardcore album in a very long time.  MDC was never quite the same after founder guitarist and songwriter Ron Posner (x-con ron) quit back in 1985.  Other than a brief stint with Bill Connors and Rancid's Matt Freeman (Hey Cop), MDC's Dave Dictor was entertaining one mediocre line-up after another for years.  With this reunion inlcuding original bass player Mikey Donaldson (Offenders, DRI, SDH), it's obvious the chemistry is still there in spades.  Although 25 years later, these old fogies can still rock.  This cd is a non-stop musical assault combined with a lyrical excellence reminiscent of DK's Jello Biafra.  A sonic relief over post-punk bands like NOFX, where every medio-core pop song really does sound the same and other than their continual name-dropping are about as deep as a puddle of piss.  Glad to have you guys back!  Take a lesson folks.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, June 17, 2008

I wouldn't call this a comeback album , but man it's really good. MDC have been around along time and many people thought they were fading out. They released "Shades Of Brown" in 92-93, I thought that was good and that was it for along time. They released a Comp CD which was necessary ["Now More Than Ever"], if you don't own the discography. "Corpses of the Ultimate Dominators" is way more energetic than the previous album and angrier it seems. I hope they release more music to us lucky fans, concerning ridiculous episodes of corruptness. Get this CD...Long Live MDC!
