Product Description
CD Description
Vinyl comes with digital download coupon that includes the bonus Deviants cover (also on CD version). Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine are at it again! Hot on the heels of their debut full-length The Audacity of Hype, the group featuring Ralph Spight (Victims Family, Freak Accident, Hellworms), Jon Weiss (Sharkbait, Horsey), Billy Gould (Faith No More) and Kimo Ball (Freak Accident, Carneyball Johnson, Mol Triffid, Griddle) roars back with five unreleased rippers. CD and download versions include Metamorphosis Exploration on Deviation Street, a transmogrified 18-minute cover of the Deviants classic. The band s twin guitar attack retains some of the spacepunk overtones and spy-music-on-meth chaos of Dead Kennedys, while adding a healthy dose of Detroit-style proto-punk, flavored with Weiss s industrial excursions into metal percussion. This is Biafra s first full-time band since Dead Kennedys broke up in 1986, and the depth and breadth of his musical chops and lyrical triumphs are on full display on these ferocious tracks.

Since leaving the Dead Kennedys 25 years ago now,Jello has produced some fantastic and certainly very interesting albums like Last Scream Of The Missing Neighbors and The Sky Is Falling In to name but two along with the Lard and Tumor Circus releases,oh and the spoken word albums and I'm glad to say Enhanced Methods Of Questioning is among these.Pretty much following on from the return to form of The Audacity Of Hype (I believe these maybe some of the songs that didn't make the album) 5 cracking tracks plus Deviants reworking/cover tucked away,this is probably his best release to date. Easily on a par with or in fact better than some of the DK's albums.

The BEST thing since the EARLY Dead Kennedys!!!
7 July 2011
Jello's new band totally ROCKS!!! I've seen the DKs live back in the 80's and I have seen Jello since with GSOM and I'm telling you that not only is their debut album Audacity of Hype awesome, but so is their follow up and their LIVE performance! It's like all the best things early Dead Kennedys had to offer combined with every cool sound that has been on AT Records since. But this band has 2 guitar players, so they are 10 times BIGGER, BETTER and LOUDER than the original Dead Kennedys. And I know this because I have followed Jello throughout his career.
JELLO BIAFRA IS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE!!! Enjoy!!!

still waving the punk flag

Perhaps his style of singing isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I think its important to support old school punk rockers who put out new music. I've got a soft spot in my heart for Jello Biafra; saw him when he was with the Dead Kennedy's (sp) on the same bill with Circle Jerks & another band, who's name escapes me.
Anyways, he's still got something to say & it beats a lot of the crap they play on the radio these days.

The worst pile of garbage Jello Biafra has ever released
26 Oct 2011
Format:Audio CD
I've been a hardcore Jello Biafra fan since 1989, when I became obsessed with the recently split Dead Kennedys. Since that time, I have purchased every musical and spoken word CD he has released. This includes the Mojo Nixon, Nomeansno, DOA and Melvins collaborations, along with Lard, Tumor Circus, The Witch Trials and everything else. I thought the first Guantanamo School of Medicine album had its problems, but it was still a good record. Not among his best, but good. This EP, on the other hand, sounds like a bunch of outtakes from that record -- and probably is.
Jello could've written these songs in his sleep. All five feature the most generic and predictable power chord changes you will ever hear. The lyrics aren't bad, but the music is absolutely worthless -- devoid of anything approaching a new idea.
I can't believe I wasted 8 dollars on this garbage.
Hopefully it's just a short nadir in an otherwise strong musical career for Mr. Biafra.
