Plastic Surgery Disasters is the second album by the American political punk band Dead Kennedys . It was later used as combination with the EP In God We Trust, Inc. republished. The last eight tracks are the titles of the EP. The inner cover of the LP was designed by Winston Smith. As usual with the Dead Kennedys, the album was recorded in San Francisco. The band has evolved, critics and fans said in light of the release. In addition, the album is even more punk-heavy than its predecessor Fresh Fruits for Rotting Vegetables . This album also experimented with other musical styles than punk.
