Suicidal Tendencies - Join The Army CD

 Updating my CD collection
I owned this on record, then cassette and now CD. Ill tell you what though, without all the surface noise and low quality clutter you may find on tapes and records, its lost its edge. ST should rewrite this album with today's technology. The songs are still good, but its just not heavy at all. No Punch! My 15 watt Marshall practice amp has more tone then the guitar produced on this album. Back in the day this album it kicked butt and with the right production still can. Keep your tapes, unless you find a great deal on this album.

 Waning!! May cause moshpits!
Man this'one cool disk! In my point of view S.T. is one of the most underrated punk-metal or thrash bands around!! The songs on this slab simply rock, rattle and thrash thier way into any real metalheads heart and soul. The production suffers SLIGHTLY, turn it up loud it still sounds great.It really is a 5 star cd when you consider that this'just a bunch of street guys from Venice with no money to even cut a professional sounding album. It is an early masterpiece from a GREAT band!

 Most under rated Punk Metal band ever!!
This while not one of Suicidial's best is still a very good album. Sure it suffers a little from a cheap production. But lets face it tape noise never has and never will be music to any right thinking individual's ears! This brings me to somthing Cronos of Vemon said about some fans complaining about them {Vemon} remastering thier cds and improving the sound (because it so called "took away from the music")He saided " if they like (that) sound better than they can always stick their heads under water while listen to the cd." This brings me back to JOIN THE ARMY. If you like tape noise with your music you can always (don't try this at home kiddies!!!) stick a wet penny in a light socket while listening to it!! If not buy the cd turn it up loud and enjoy one of the most under rated punk metal bands ever!
