Manifest Destiny (The Dictators album)

The New York Times noted that Handsome Dick Manitoba "certainly has flair, but he lacks a very distinct singing voice or style." Trouser Press praised the album as "another helping of brilliant Shernoff originals." Martin Popoff ranked the album 12th on his "Top 20 albums of Punk’s first year, 1977", in Goldmine. ==Track listing==
