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

5 out of 5 stars THE Punk Ska Album of the 90's.......2007-01-10

I remember first listening to this album just as the 3rd wave ska craze came about in the mid 90's. Ten years later I caught them play for the last time in Cleveland, they still had that "energy". Countless albums, music genres, later it still remains one of my favorite records. Heres why: its got everything definitive of the ska/punk albums with none of the cheesy baggage. Good thumping basslines throughout which you can actually hear on without a good set of subs, tight horns, keyboards, furious drumming, and of course the upbeat ska guitar on most of the tracks.
Somewhat similar to: Operation Ivy, Rancid, might mighty bosstones. You wont go wrong here.

5 out of 5 stars RIP Suicide Machines.......2006-08-24

I am kicking myself for just now getting into this album. It has honestly been around me since it first came out, but I am just now realizing the brilliance within. I recently heard the title track off of their latest album, war profiteering..., and was amazed. It was it this time I decided to revisit the back catalog. Well in the process of a couple weeks I have discovered this album to be so much more than I ever imagined. As a previous reviewer stated they have such a great and seemless mix of straight ahead punk blended with ska, and the catchy choruses and great sing alongs that could have come from a classic Misfits album. It's almost like the greatest mix tape of punk ever made. If you enjoy anything from ska, to hardcore, to classic punk you have to give this late, great band your hard earned cash. Even if it takes awhile to absorb you will one day get it. I know I will be buying anything I can get my hands on, these guys will be remembered as legends.

4 out of 5 stars to me, all suicide machines albums are equal.......2006-08-08

well i see people saying this is their best all the time, but to me, i just cannot decide. they all have superb and amazing moments and others that just blend together. i havent listened to a single suicide machines album that i could listen to all the way through.(i have all except self titled) i mean yes, they are a great band and id definately say that they are an essential to any punk revival fan, but the thing is, is that they never had a cd that was 100% masterpiece..to me at least.

the songs break the glass, SOS, our time, hey, and no face all warrant an easy 4 star "great" rating! the rest, just couldnt grow on me...just yet at least...and ive had this for about a year and half now.

actually, this band really surprised me and put me in awe since i picked this album up on a closing clearance sale in a local cd store!

5 out of 5 stars TSM's first and best........2006-06-16

Let me begin by saying that The Suicide Machines were my favorite band, even though they broke up not too long ago. This, however, is not the album that turned me on to these guys. But it sure is one hell of a CD. Out of its 16 songs, I enjoy all of them thoroughly, because they are all different. Of course, this CD may just all be about teenagers having fun early in their career, but The Suicide Machines make great music out of it, not to mention the organ thrown in. I often try to highlight my favorites of the disc at hand, but this is another one of those cases where it would just be too difficult, every track is killer! Regardless of its genre, this is just music at its finest. So go out and get it, pop it in your stereo, and please your ears with the fun party of an album that it is. Thank you for your time.

5 out of 5 stars Remarkable sound - Crosses generations.......2006-02-08

I'm not as young as I used to be - Duh. But this CD came to me through a younger colleague who was into the punk scene. Most of the new punk music doesn't do anything for me. Most of it is too angry to be believable. But this CD blew me away.

Very creative sound. Changes tempo and styles with raw energy yet a subtle grace.

Some say the Mighty Mighty Bosstones are similar, but they can't compare to TSM.

        The second release from Evick may only be 5 tracks but they are all hits. thier anthem "this anit the life" simply rocks and will have you singing along in no time. the other big hit off the album is "Elvis", they do a great job in expressing thier emotion and love of music. yo can't go wroung with this one.
