The third re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary American Hardcore Punk/Thrash Metal/Crossover band.
By the time of 1988's "Four Of A Kind", all evidence of D.R.I.'s early Hardcore Punk roots was erased, except for the quartet's fondness for Thrashing tempos. While they didn't go into the Limp Hair Metal direction of contemporaries like T.S.O.L., instead favouring a somewhat tougher Speed Metal streak, best shown on the neck-snapping "Slumlord". D.R.I are fast as a Porsche and brutal as Thrash Metal should be when it meets the roughness of Punk.
The album was produced by Bill Metoyer, who has recorded with Slayer, Morbid Angel and Hirax amongst others.
"Suit And Tie Guy" was the first D.R.I. song to get a video.
For four decades, D.R.I. has been the epitome of the aggressive, Hardcore/Punk Thrash sound. Throughout this time, they've been one of the few genuine Underground bands to remain true to their pure Punk roots. While they're a little older now, time hasn't got the best of the Dirty Rotten Imbeciles. They're still thrashing just as hard, and just as loud as ever, continuing to overload our senses with the sound that is, and will always remain, uniquely D.R.I.!

The first re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Hardcore Punk/Thrash Metal/Crossover band.
D.R.I.'s most successful album, which continues the Thrash Metal style of the previous album, "4 Of A Kind". "Thrash Zone" is pretty much straightforward Metal, with little of the band's Hardcore Punk roots in its unapologetically slick sound. "Thrash Zone" is an immense improvement over its immediate predecessor. Kurt Brecht's yowling vocals and forgettable lyrics are largely downplayed in favour of showing off the band's best assets: Spike Cassidy's efficient Punk Metal guitar lines and the whiplash dynamics of bassist John Menor and drummer Felix Griffin, who handle the dips into slow, thudding mosh sections and curves into triple-speed overdrive with relative ease.
The album produced the song "Beneath the Wheel", which was made as a music video and received airplay on MTV. The song was also featured in the video game "Skate 2". The album also contained the song "Abduction", which would also have a video made for it.
Hardcore's late-'80s swerve into Metal is still basically a lousy idea (one that most bands quickly abandoned after "Nevermind" hit the charts and Metal was suddenly very much out of fashion again), but "Thrash Zone" is a better than average example of the form!
