they said it couldn't be done... a punk rock opera. punk rock had never been able to sustain a concept for longer than 2 minutes, never mind an entire album. But DPL was no ordinary punk band. It consisted almost entirely of failed, embittered nuclear physicists (the drummer was technically a rocket scientist). Their opera consisted of a fantasy in which their "great idea", using depleted plutonium to create vending machine snacks, was embraced by corporate America instead of mocked and condemned by global academia. The saga begins with their development of the idea, through the testing phase and then into everyone's public places. Drama ignites when little Billy develops a mysterious rash, but the brave doctor discovers that the boy is allergic to trees, not nuclear waste, as the nutty leftists claimed. So everybody celebrates by getting their faces pierced.
This album was credited with single-handedly ending the punk rock movement.
