"...It's Amazing, How Stupid Some People Can Sometimes Be" is the debut full-length studio album by Finnish crossover thrash metal act Dirty Damage. The album was released through Euros Records in 1988. Dirty Damage formed in 1984 in Helsinki, Finland and their only output was this debut album and a subsequent 1988 single release featuring two tracks from the album.

Stylistically Dirty Damage play a relatively standard crossover thrash metal style influenced by the likes of Suicidal Tendencies and D.R.I. In that respect "...It's Amazing, How Stupid Some People Can Sometimes Be" isn´t anything out of the ordinary although they sometimes cross into more regular thrash metal territories too (I even hear nods towards rock´n´roll and traditional heavy metal/speed metal), making the album a bit more varied than many ofter crossover thrash metal releases from that time. The tracks are all 1-3 minutes long (short) bursts of aggressive energy though, so no long epics on this one.

Dirty Damage are a well playing unit and lead vocalist Marko Rytkönen (who would soon depart and join Protected Illusion) has the right attitude filled snarling raw delivery. "...It's Amazing, How Stupid Some People Can Sometimes Be" features a raw, unpolished, and almost live sounding production job, but the rawness of the production suits the material well. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
