I did a “Top 10 of all time albums” challenge a couple years back on FB and, after a lot of soul searching, “How Will I Laugh…” came out at #2 - second only to “Beneath the Remains” by Sepultura.
@@tommelaniphy4882 Super, super, f**kin" hard to argue with you there. But, personally, Arise is my all time favorite Thrash Metal album. Pleasure To Kill is probably #2. How Will I Laugh may be my #3...
Here's the real ranking list: 10: Free Your Soul and Save My Mind - fairly derivative, can tell it's inspired by the music of Korn and Marilyn Manson which were popular at the time. Highlight: Bullennium 09: 13 - desperately uneven but has some gems like God Only Knows and Who's Afraid? 08: Freedumb - the first album in ST's catalogue that had quite stupid lyrics but there's some classics here like Cyco Vision and We Are Family. 07: Suicidal For Life - melancholic and absolutely pissed off. Rocky George gives a heroic sendoff in Love vs Loneliness, which is an amazing song. 06: World Gone Mad - amazing album made even more amazing given how late it's come in the band's life. Highlights: Happy Never After, Get Your Fight On, the epic and melancholic Nick Cavesque sounding STill Dying To Live which has the familiar Mike Muir trick of simply using the second half of the song to play the riff in the first half of the song at double speed. 05: Lights Camera Revolution - yeah classic album with YCBMD, Alone, Send Me Your Money. Essential ST listening. 04: Join the Army - insanely good punk metal followup to the debut. 03: Suicidal Tendencies - nothing sounds as hard or as raw in music. Nothing. 02: The Art of Rebellion - the absolute aural masterpiece of the entire ST catalogue. Rocky George's solos will make you weep. 01: How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today - this is the best album of all time. Unimpeachable.
Criminal that you skipped over controlled by hatred ep like that.... Controlled by hatred track, feel like shit, how will I laugh heavy emotion version, waking the dead and just another love song.. Full of insane tracks! Its one of their best albums imo and production is so heavy. Its a classic
Yeah, I felt he explained why it's not ranked and I respect his reasoning. I'm with you, though, I consider it one of their albums and rank it pretty high, even if I think the No Mercy versions of those songs are better.
@jazzrocker612 I was going to say. I mean it still has original songs but it has the two re recordings of how will I laugh tomorrow which is still one of the best songs written like period. I'd like to also point out I feel like it's more of a full length but maybe it's an ep and I'm just cyco
1- Suicidal tendencies 2 - Lights camera revolution 3- How will i laugh tomorow... 4- Controlled by hatred 5- Art of rebellion 6- Join the army 7- Suicidal for life 8- Free dumb 9- world gone mad 10- 13 11- Free your soul and save your mind...my list although the one i go back to more is controlled by hatred, my soundtrack for a lot of skateboard sessions back in the day
Forgettable stuff: 10- Freedumb (4.5/10) 09- Free Your Soul (5/10) 08- World Gone Mad (5.5/10) Ok Stuff: 07- Suicidal For Life (6/10) 06- 13 (6.5/10) Good stuff: 05- Join The Army (7/10) 05- Suicidal Tendencies (7.5/10) Great Stuff: 03- How Will I Laugh Tomorrow (8/10) 02- The Art Of Rebellion (9/10) 01- Lights Camera Revolution (9.5/10)
Don't completely agree with this. I think Freedumb is a good album, and like it better than anything they did after Lights, Camera, Revolution. Just for the songs Freedumb, Cyco Vision, and We Are Family. You should re-listen to World Gone Mad, it's better than 13. 13 was just "meh" to me, and nothing about it makes me want to listen to it again. Join the Army is in my top 3(as a fan of hardcore and crossover). I know I'm alone in this but as I stated above I really dislike Art of Rebellion, mostly for Mike's change in vocals. They irritated me. Like a few songs and that's it.
Art of rebellion is my number one.. bs of people that dislike the vocals... it’s the greatest experience ever.. hopefully they will come to their senses once they are 70yold or something
As much as I respect The Art of Rebellion for it's experimentation, no way is it a more enjoyable album than the first two. Especially the first, that's a staple. Arguably their best album along with How Will I Laugh imho.
@@KickflipGnasty i understand.. but i tend to like and remember more albuns that were really breakthroughs. The art of rebellion is one of them. For me; it laid the bricks for most of what came next on the scene, in many ways For just one example: korn wouldn’t have happened that easily without it
Great ranking ! Love ST , Lights ... Camera ... Revolution is my favourite , followed very closely be The Art Of Rebellion & How Will I Laugh Tomorrow ...
Lights Camera Revolution Masterpiece. Stoked that you gave some love to Suicidal for Life or "Fuck" lol. That album rips from start to finish. Love vs Loneliness was one of the first songs I ever learned on bass ( minus the solo )
Great list. I would have moved your first pick to 3, but otherwise agree. I hadn't listened to ST for years and ran across their newest album in a discount bin and was blown away by how good it was.
@@OldHead Hey my friend! I've ordered a couple hats from Suicidal' online store and neither hat I received has a logo that looks quite like yours. Yours looks almost stitched/embroidered and mine is definitely 'iron on'. Did you get yours someplace else per chance?
@@OldHead It looks awesome. I would have thought going to their store would have been the most sure way to get the best quality but your hat is absolutely sick. I ordered one with the type face in green as well, but evidently it will look the same as my other one of got it from the same place 😂
Great list man. Love this band. I used to be more into The Art of Rebellion but I became a die-hard punk rock fan, so I gotta pick Join The Army and Freedumb...
'Lights...Camera...Revolution' is number one, for me. Rocky George is hugely underrated and worked brilliantly with Mike Clark. Totally agree about 'You Can't Bring Me Down', it's a flawless track and is easily in my top 5 of all time. 'Suicidal for Life' is also underrated, although there are a couple of skippable songs.
I've always known that ST was one of my favorite bands, but I don't look through my music collection very often. After watching this video, I realized that I own almost every ST major release.
Good overview and I think I pretty much agree with your rankings. Just one point I wish you had expanded on with your last number one album you said it was somewhat reflective of what was going on music at that time. And I would like to of heard you expand on that a little bit more. Because when it came out I thought it was somewhat unique and almost the The perfect classic example of crossover thrash. And obviously that had been going on at the time with several bands but that album was the best of the bunch. And then obviously there were the More popular thrash and speed metal bands at the time. And SI was hanging with those dudes too. So are you talking about that genre when you say what was going on at the time? My point being is I can’t think of another band that was really threading the needle between crossover thrash and actual speed metal as much as these guys what kind of puts them in a class of their own. And therefore not reflective of the music that was going on at the time exactly
Nice list! I would definitely put the controlled by hatred album in the top five, but apart from that, nothing to complain about your rankings. My #1 is art of rebellion though. It has been my favorite since it came out.
i am your 600th sub!! great stuff man!! really dig your video keep it up. as a big suicidal tendencies fan i more and less agree with your list, our top 3 are almost similar. i know list are subjective but for #1 i just think their fist album is just too iconic and should be number 1 or thats just my punk bias talking since i grew up with punk first and then thrash later lol. my list is 1. self titled album 2. how will i laugh 3. lights camera revolution 4. join the army 5. freedumb (my least fav) 6. art of rebellion (i only like one song off this) 7. world gone mad 8. 13 9. Free your Soul 10. Suicidal4Life Still Cyco 90s is there best cover album, the rest are just awful. No Mercy album is waayyyy better than the re-recording. something about the guitars just sound off in their Controlled by Hatred/Deja vu.
Hey great video, i only know a few number of songs!! but know i can pickup some complete album. Btw their current bass player , Ra Dias, is from Chile!!!! as Tom Araya & Ronnie Romero..... Cheers Cristian
respect. 4 me n1 is suicidal for life, indeed is one of th 10 metal album ever i like the most. 1 million time listened when i was on high school ,is stucked deep in my heart.
Completely agree with your top choice. My go to album. I’d say I agree with the listings but for me freedumb is up there. Also I hate free your mind for like a decade and a half. Went back to it a few years ago and apart from Pop songs I think it’s a great record. Also I have the possessed to skate artwork tattooed on my leg so you know. “As long as your heart beats...”
Great video and I also think suicidal for life is underrated and basically got thrown under the bus back in 1994 when it was released. My favorite is still lights camera revolution. Join the army is great also but always felt like the production was very odd sounding and the guitars weren't thick enough in the mix.
1. Lights Camera Revolution 2. How will I Laugh Tomorrow 3. Controlled by Hatred 4. Suicidal Tendencies 5. The Art of Rebellion 6. Join The Army 07. Free Your Soul 08. Suicidal for Life 09. Freedumb 10. World Gone Mad 11. 13
Taking EPS, compilations and side projects into consideration, I would go with the following Top 7: 1) How Will I Laugh Tomorrow… 2) Suicidal Tendencies [first album] 3) Widespread Bloodshed… Love Runs Red [No Mercy] 4) Join the Army 5) Feel Like Shit… Deja Vu [EP] 6) Lights Camera Revolution 7) Still Cyco After All These Years [comp] - mostly for the re-recorded Join the Army songs, which are pretty decent. Anyone not familiar with the No Mercy album, it is totally worth seeking out - even though several tracks were re-recorded for the “Feel Like Shit..” EP. The album was hard to find for decades, but did get a reissue in (i believe) 2014 on CD and vinyl, and includes liner notes from Mike Clark. I am fortunate to have first pressings of “Widespread Bloodshed…” on cassette and vinyl - some of my most valued items in my music collection.
I'm actually surprised not many fans are putting it number one. When it came out in 83 it was instantly hailed as possibly the greatest hardcore punk album ever. They never came close to the debut. I still jam it forty years later. Join the army was great also but then they became too metal for my taste.
I'd probably switch 1 and 2 mainly because the self titled album was what really got me into ST and how will I laugh tomorrow when I can't even smile today came later after I liked aor and lcr
1. Art of Rebellion [masterpiece] 2. Lights Camera Revolution 3. Still Cyco after all this time 4. How will I laugh tomorrow.... 5. Controlled by Hatred 6. Suicidal for Life. The other albums honestly I either don't really know [the more new ones] or didn't particularly enjoy [the first two and the second half of the 90s period]. If I could put on the list Mike's side projects, I would add the first album from Infectious grooves very high perhaps even in the top 3.
Please give me Art of Rebellion on number one... by FAR my favorite.. hopefully one day people will realize how much of music and metal came out of that
Cool. Thanks for that. We have slightly differing opinions on some stuff. I mean I really enjoy Freedumb...Love the title song, Cyco Vision and We Are Family are all great tracks. I actually like it more than Suicidal For Life, or the Art of Rebellion. I know I'm alone in this opinion, but Art of Rebellion is my least favorite album. I hated Mike Muirs vocals on that album. There\s a few tracks that I like eg. Nobody Hears, Gotta Kill Captain Stupid, and I Hate You Better(love that title), but over all his vocals irritate me. Mike was singing like he'd just found true love and wasn't angry anymore. I guess my biggest issue was I loved Lights, Camera, Revolution, and at that time I was still angry and I wanted more of that. I agree that World Gone Mad is better than 13. I can understand you're top 5 ranking. I think Lights, Camera, Revolution is a thrash classic, and one of the best albums of the genre, but I probably reach for How Will I laugh, and Join The Army more. Where Lights is a thrash classic of that genre, Join the Army is a classic for the crossover genre. I fucking love that album. And How Will I Laugh is perfect. My cousin and I still quote the one liner "There's Nothing Wrong with This Brain" from the music video. lol. Cool thing about the original Institutionalized video from the first album is that Rocky George is already in the video, and so isn't Tom Araya. Suicidal and Slayer are both L.A. bands so they must of know each other. Plus Tom is Chilean, and ST have always had a strong Latin connection. My biggest issue is the lack of credit that Mike Clark gets. Everyone goes on about Rocky George, but if you ever follow the credits for the songs Mike Clark wrote a lot of material, the 2 Mikes wrote the bulk of the songs. Rocky could really play, but Mike Clark was a better song writer. That dude needs more credit and I miss him in the band.
I love their thrash albums and miss Mike Clark from the current lineup. Here's my top 10: 1. Lights Camera Revolution 2 How Can I Laugh Tomorrow 3. Art of Rebellion 4. Suicidal Tendencies 5. Join The Army 6. Suicidal For Life 7. Freedumb 8. No Mercy Fool 9. 13 10. World Gone Mad
My favorite Suicidal Tendencies album is the first. My favorite songs from Join The Army album are the older songs that weren't included on the first album. War Inside My Head was being preformed before the first album. I did not like the Metal direction of the band after that.
Sometimes you need to hear more rocknroll.or thrash. Or punk . etc. I agree with you 75,999666%! (If my math r correct!) +for those who are rockers,and have not heard them give them a chance. You won't regret it! !
How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today is an amazing album and their best stuff but to be honest, i had so much fun listening to Join The Army during my workout routine
I think T.A.O.R is a bit like the movie Helloween III in that, if peeps could forget it was a Helloween movie without Michael Myers (or in this case an ST album), they'd wake up to just how good it actually is.
So, i have the same favorite ST album, but i also really like Free Your Soul, because i'm also a fan of Infectious Grooves and that album has the funk influence but mixed with hardcore punk. I know i'm in the minority, but i enjoy the album a lot. Public Dissension is so badass! Okay, as a whole it's got some problems, some filler tracks for sure.
Agreed about how important the S/t album is - it annoys me that just about every documentary about hardcore completely ignores Suicidal. That's probably due to Hardcore's elitism, and the fact Suicidal "sold out" and went metal.
And just because it's the thing to do on ALL ranking videos, I'll give you mine: 1. S/T 2. Lights, Camera, Revolution 3. Join the Army 4. How Will I Laugh Today 5. Feel Like Shit (I'd include it) 6. Art of Rebellion THE REST IN SOME ORDER
1. Suicidal Tendencies - Pinnicle of Music itself, and Greatest Punk album of all time.....the Greatest Album of all time. 2. Join the Army. - Greatest Crossover album of all time....2nd Greatest album of all time. 3. How will I laugh.... - Greatest Thrash album of all time....Still f.cking Awesome. Powerful stuff. 4. Demo. - Raw. How Punk should be. 5. The Art of Rebellion - okish. Musically absolutely Masterful. Rocky and Clarke combo Amazing...Vocals weak. 6. Lights Camera.... okish. Good When and IF you are in the mood for...... Funk Metal.. 7. ......the rest is aaaaabsolute Horseshite. Just buy the first 3. *Side note. - Rocky George is the Best Lead Guitarist, 2nd only to Hendrix. His mastery has got to be THE Most under rated musicianship of Any artist Ever. - Mike Clarke......Greatest Rhythm Guitarist of all time. F.cking tidal wave wall of Sound Crushing down on you. - IMO, Lui pisses All over Rob on Bass. They should kept him and his Punk sound.
For me the most special are still cyco after.. suicidal for life... the one with the guard and the painting.. light camera revolution and the debut.. and Groove family cyco from IG. Probably cuz I started listening in 92 and saw em Open for 'tallica in 93 in Sweden. Followed by club shows supporting Groove family cyco mid 90.s I Think vocal performance and production is really lacking on join the army .. so I never got into it like the debut album where punk production works.
I was right with you on 9 and 10, but I am surprised to hear "Suicidal 4 Life" beating 13 and World Gone mad. I would mostly keep your ranking but just drop Suicidal 4 Life dropped at 8... Musically it was good.... but the fucking lyrics... I felt like this was them trying to make a bad offensive album just to get off their record label. I wont speak for the other members, but for Mike it just felt like he didnt give a fuck (like one of the song titles) and didnt really put any effort, especially that fucking album cover AND album name.... Its lame sauce for the most part (lyrically speaking). Its honestly a guilty pleasure for me tho I really do love the song "no fuckin problem" as a personal hit that I def jam out to. Not critiquing your critique, just sharing mine on the albums, I just been waiting to get that off my chest about that album for a long time, glad to hear someone else talk about it!
Hands down Suicidal’s self titled album is my #1 suicidal album but I do like Join the Army and lights, camera, revolution but still cyco in my opinion is my most disliked because they are not good recreations of the original songs on Suicidal’s first album
Without RJ, Mike Clark and Rocky it's just not Suicidal to me, Lombardo is great but still just doesn't do it for me, and you totally forgot "Feel like shit, Deja Vu".....
