About this album

4 Of A Kind finds Dirty Rotten Imbeciles sharpening their crossover thrash into a fast, politically charged blast of hardcore power. Issued in 1988, the album pushed D.R.I. further into the thrash-metal lane while keeping the short, furious song structures and punk bite that made them central to the crossover movement. Its lean attack, shouted vocals and razor-edged riffs turn tracks like All For Nothing, Suit And Tie Guy and Manifest Destiny into a concise statement of anger and speed. A key late-1980s release, it helped define the point where hardcore urgency and metal precision became one language.
