Product Description

From Amazon.com

Though the Suicide Machines are far more punk (and pop) than ska, they nonetheless manage to fit in some infectious ska rhythms. They're a Detroit quartet with piercings in all the right places (pretty much all over their faces), big baggy clothes, and a knack for writing fun-filled, power-packed ditties. They're also a hell of a lot of fun. At a Seattle gig (at Eckstein Middle School, of all places), they invited about half the crowd to join them on stage and performed the entire gig surrounded by (mostly) teenage boys skanking up a storm. Truly a spectacle to behold. Their debut record on the Hollywood label has much of that same wackiness. The songs are totally adrenalized, manic spasms of poppy punk, jazzed up with some deliriously danceable ska. The best line of the entire album comes in the fashion-tip-laden "The Vans Song", which advises, "Worship Jeff Spicoli, not Chris Cornell." Get the picture? --Adem Tepedelen

Solid album July 19 2003
Format:Audio CD
This is a solid album from start to finish. If you like ska/punk, this is a perfect blend of the two. It doesn't sound like a ska band trying to be all punk, and it doesn't sound like a punk band trying to insert skank rhythms into their music. It's even a better blend than found with Operation Ivy's efforts, although Operation Ivy is a better band and did it first. I must admit that if Operation Ivy had continued, they might have come out with an album like this one... this band is quite a bit similar (and that is a huge compliment coming from me).

The only problem with the album, for me, is that I really have to be in a certain mood to listen to it. The songs are all really good, but there's no one particular song that just grabs me... it's more of a good overall album to listen to when you want a punk/ska album in the player... in fact there may be no better oustide of OPIV. That happens from time to time, but for me I'm in search of outstanding songs, either musically or lyrically. Something I can listen to and it makes my soul move. There's nothing like that on this album, nor should I really expect there to be... but it's a great album, for what it is.

Nothing but Fun
The Suicide Machines don't have the revolutionary impact of Operation Ivy. They don't have the grit and high-speed explosive force of Against All Authority. Read more
