Death Rides a Pale Cow is a greatest hits album by the punk rock band the Dead Milkmen, released in 1997.

The band was unable to include tracks from Soul Rotation and Not Richard, But Dick, as Hollywood Records still retained the rights.

Club wrote: "Not surprisingly, the album's best moments arrive fairly early in the proceedings, with such banner moments as 'Bitchin' Camaro', 'Beach Party Vietnam' and 'Instant Club Hit' serving to remind fans what was so great about the band in the first place.

Latter-day cult hits ('Punk Rock Girl', 'Smokin' Banana Peels') are briskly appealing, but Dead Milkmen was at its best when it was at its smallest and, by extension, meanest.

By the end, its bratty edge was dulled to an unfortunate degree, but nearly all of its best moments are on this worthwhile collection.
