Title: PRIME CUTS-BEST OF
Street Release Date: 06/03/1997
Genre: PUNK
First off, my favorite ST album is their first. That was far more "punk" than anything they released after it; with Join The Army they basically became a metal band. That isn't to say they didn't put out some good material afterward, though. I bought this one to get tracks like "You Can't Bring Me Down" and "Gotta Kill Captain Stupid." Both of 'em rock, even if the lyrics aren't exactly Bob Dylan.
But I was VERY disappointed that the versions of "Institutionalized" and "I Saw Your Mommy" are from Still Cyco rather than the first album. These songs do NOT benefit from the tighter musicianship of the post-debut band.
If you're looking for a quick intro to Suicidal Tendencies, buy this CD. Then find a copy of their debut, and you have all the ST you will ever need!
"Prime Cuts" is a best-of album so, you either like ST or you don't. Being a 20-year ST fan, I love having a cross-section of their material. (Personally, I was surprised the "Controlled by Hatred" didn't make the cut (no pun intended). If you're not a ST fan, then this is a great introduction. They never really made it big but they had some great material. Any interest in skater-thrash or metal? If so, ST is for you.
I had this album years ago when i was in high school, for some unknown reason (young and stupid is probably a good guess), i sold it. For years i've missed the sounds of ST and wished i had it still. I'm glad i bought it again.
This is a good compilation which features many of their classic hits.It is not perfect because it is missing a few good songs but over all it is good.If you own most of their cds then you probably shouldnt get this one.
Pedants would be forced to admit that this band is class. They're awesome live and are still trying to keep it real despite the detractors who want to criticise everything these guys do! Suicidal have provided just about everything to music and never get the appreciation.
At least they were bothered re-recording songs instead of just re-releasing them. The quality of music is high.
The variety is awesome.
