essential suicide

this album shouldn't be missed by fans of honest, visceral, frightening music. the song "frankie teardrop" alone is worth the price of admission! makes a great gift! play it for your parents!

A classic must-have!

This is were this whole industrial thing started. The absolutely brilliant mix of rockabilly-groove with ice-cold machinery.If you'r in to industrial music, like Ministry, Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson, or Synth/EBM this is an absolute nescesity in your record collection!!!

Essential for fans of punk and industrial roots. Hypnotic.

This a group that was well aware of The Stooges and The Velvets before Bowie was involved in producing Reed and Pop. The Residents were also working in a similar fashion and in similar venues at the same time Suicide were. David Lynch's name comes up when people want to describe the music, and...

"Yeah keep them dreams burnin babe....forever"

Few bands that can be so scary as this one are so damn funny too at times (unintentional?). With super-repetitive, trance-inducing synth-lines backing the possessed echoing vocals, I don't know of anything like it. It feels like a euphoric nightmare at times. It's its own thing, bizarre,...

Awesome

I saw Martin Rev & Alan Vega multiple times at CBGB's back in the 80's. This album is an excellent representative of their live shows. Only two guys but the sounds they made filled the club. Vega's one of the most charismatic performers from the 80's and like the Ramones, Suicide never received...

My Favorite Screamer

If punk had a sexy voice, it would belong to Alan Vega.

Are you kidding?

Im sorry, but this is not entertaining music, infact its very very annoying to the ears... i can even recall the misfits early demo stuff having an entertaning synth sound in there music( and that was just plain laughable, but wasnt terrible). This music however, is not "music", and anyone who...

Beautiful, brilliant, terrifying CD

Biker gangs,teenag e sweethearts, TV stars and psycho killers are just some of the images conjured up on this unique slice of electric punk from '77. As someone properly pointed out earlier, this isn't the "punk" many would equate with The Ramones, Dead Boys, Television, et al. For there is no...

Post-punk... pre-Ramones?! [4.5 stars]

Alan Vega and Martin Rev were WAAAY ahead of their time. Though their debut wasn't officially released until '78 (and even then, it predated the debuts of Joy Division, Killing Joke, The Cure, and possibly even PiL by about a year or so), this guitarless NY duo had been around since '71.Anyway...

How much can you endure?

O.K., There is no doubting that Suicide was a big influence on what would happen in the early 80's. I don't think people were pissed of with them for lack of guitars or drums. It was simply more of a provocative endurance test where the artistic statement became more important than music. I love...
