 Deja Vu Feb 27, 2004
This album is a solid work - every song except for "Animal", which does not connect with me, is of typically high ST quality. Musicianship, as usual, is ST's brand of superb, and the band lineup is the same as was in place for "Freedumb".However, several songs (which definitely rock in their own right) seem like re-hashings of great Suicidal songs of old - "Self Destruct" comes off as a funked out "You Cant Bring Me Down", "No More No Less" sounds like "Pledge Your Allegiance", and "Bullenium" sounds like "Don't Give Me Your Nothin'". That said, at least ST rips off its own material and they pick great songs out of their own catologue to plagiarize. I like all three songs being critiqued in this paragraph, by the way. There are some tracks which are truly original ST material and are first rate - Su Casa Es Mi Casa, Children of the Bored, Home, and STraight from the Heart are classic ST. Pop Songs is amusing, but not quite as side-splitting witty as Send Me Your Money. The verdict is that this is a very good album, which while not measuring up to all-time classics like Suicidal Tendnecies, Lights Camera and Art of Rebellion, is better than at least 95% of the hard rock being released today by other bands. If you love both ST and Infectious Grooves, then you definitely want to check this out. If IG is not your thing, then you may want to consider other ST material.

 Flushed It Down The Bowl...And Wasted My Money Apr 05, 2001
S.T. has lost their sound and the energy they once had. I hate "PoP Songs" just like you Mike Muir, but you know what, Your also writing them. This album is compared to The Offsprings worst album. If you want some great S.T., then buy all cd's up to "Suicidal For Life"

Changes are good>But solo's are better> Mar 25, 2001
This changes are good...i recommended that S.T makes a little turn, and tried to play goth music(w/solos),and many other genres to succed, because you cant'stock in one type of music, you have to expand your self, and they expand their selves in this record, they changed, but in my opinion i missed de old S.T with brilliants solo's... i wish that rocky come back to the band.. but if he wasn't i would like that s.t tried to play big solo's with or with out ROCKY...Because suicidal is not rocky his self.. is all of them.. We still cyco .. Spread the word\

 I feel like a "Sui-Sucker" Dec 18, 2000
Mike really got me this time. After putting out what was my top album for 1999 (Freedumb), he comes back with more of the stuff that turned me off of these guys in the early 90's. This really should of been released as an "Infectious Grooves" record. Too much funk, not enough punk.

 Hmmmmmm Dec 03, 2000
I'm a die-hard Suicidal fan. But for some reason, I lost interest in this album after owning it for about a week. The music reminds me of Freedumb meets The Infections Grooves. Not there is anything wrong with that sound. (Freedumb is my favorite album). There is just something missing.. I don't know what it is. When I find out, I'll let you know.
