No Questions Asked is the first studio album by Los Angeles, California punk rock band the Flesh Eaters, released in 1980 on Upsetter Records.
According to reviewer Joseph Neff from The Vinyl District:
"The Flesh Eaters’ [early output was] good, but flirtations with greatness arrived on the 1980 long-player No Questions Asked, [Chris] Desjardins refining a vocal approach comparable to a wilder West Coast Richard Hell."
For his part, Jay Hinman from Perfect Sound Forever, was of the view that:
"... The album suffers a wee bit from muted production and some discontinuity, which is not particularly surprising given that eight musicians rotated through 14 short tracks ... The sound is sharp, static bursts of punk heat, dressed up with Chris’ phantasmagoric visions of plagues, hemorrhages and rabid cops. The sound is best represented on tracks like "Impossible Crime", "Dominoes" and "Police Gun Jitters" ... It’s worth noting that Desjardins’s tales were repeatedly inspired by B-movies (the name of the band being a prime example ...), with a ghoulishness particularly heard in the lyrics of this LP. No Questions Asked marked the end of the first wave of the Flesh Eaters, and gave birth to the all-star roots/voodoo combo of 1981’s A Minute to Pray, A Second To Die."
In February 2004, Atavistic Records released a remastered edition on CD of the original record, which was extended with ten bonus tracks, including the entire four-song debut EP Flesh Eaters from 1978, the three cuts contributed by the band to the Tooth and Nail compilation in 1979, and three previously unreleased demo recordings from 1978. Mark Wheaton was in charge of the mastering at Catasonic Studios in Echo Park, California.
