Agree with Toxic... sure it can be silly and obnoxious at moments, but it is a very important release in the historical sense of the discography. It is an important piece of the Sonic puzzle, really. "Master-Dik" itself is certainly silly, but there's a genuine undertone of historical context (IE: living in NY and hearing the blossoming of hip hop such as Run-DMC vs punk rock like, uh duh, track 2... The Ramones). Flip it over and you've got the seedlings for not only DDN's polar opposite in THE WHITEY ALBUM, but maybe the DNA for the SYR's which would oneday emerge. In short, it's a record that deserves to be in yr SY collection if not strictly for its musical contributions than at least so that you may ponder its intentions.
