Critical reception

Trouser Press praised the album, calling it "a roaring rock record that puts [Biafra's] trademark whiny vocals and songs to D.O.A.'s meat-and-cojones guitar power. Through a half-dozen numbers like "Wish I Was in El Salvador," "Attack of the Peacekeepers" and the epic "Full Metal Jackoff," Last Scream proudly re-hoists the DK flag in all but name."[6]

gollark: You can get a rough high-level overview of it, but we've done that with brains.
gollark: They have billions of transistors in them, imaging them is hard itself, nobody actually knows how all the parts work, and they're designed with computerized design tools such that nobody knows what's going on with all the individual transistors either.
gollark: You can't really dissect a modern CPU and work out how it works, though.
