1.0 out of 5 stars WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!, October 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Freedumb (Audio CD)

After a gap of 5 years, I had hopes that we would see a fitting followup to their former glory of the "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow....." et al. series, but instead we have a moron-minded outing lacking in either musical or poetic merit. In the five albums of their '88 to '94 period, the band dealt with a lot of real and serious life problems (which more than once have helped me to feel not quite so alone in my own life-struggles), while at the same time tastefully pushing melodramatic angst to the verge of satire and humor.....but this album is lyrically/poetically without any socially-redeeming value OR entertaining qualities. And musically it is little but a barrage of noise (and an insipid one at that), lacking any of the addictive qualities of their earlier work, which seamlessly combined thundering slabs of doom-metal with catchy "pop" elements. The only tract where their former sensibilities seem to be trying to emerge is in the final one ("Heaven"), but even here the listener is in for a letdown, as the song peters out rather than builds to the level of ecstatic, orgasmic agony which was their former trademark. This album may indeed be a return to their "punk" roots of the first two ST albums, but it is a past they would have been better off to have gracefully left behind. I am going to trade in this album at my local music store.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aint Gonna Take it, Anymore. All there is to say., March 1, 2003

I don't think I've been this impressed with an ST release since Mike Muir appeared on the cover of Thrasher magazine in the 80s. Here ST pulls from within this punk effort that just topples your little radio station punk bands. After years of decent heavy metal albums, they find the anger to put together an album of phenomenal punk music, thats what this is, PUNK. All you kids out there buy Freedumb and learn from the founders what it is to be PUNK. Dont take my word for it though, listen to the Howard Stern show, "Aint Gonna Take It, Anymore" is the shows intro.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is different, and I like it., December 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Freedumb (Audio CD)

Thing about ST is that almost all their albums are different in style. Fans of their "metal" era of Suicidal ('88-94) probobly won't care for this album. Fans of all of Mike Muir's work in general (ST, Infectious Grooves and Cyco Miko)I think will enjoy this album. It is very original. If you're new to Suicidal, I would reccomend not only this album, but all the others too, their all quite different and original. I didn't hear their debut album until 1986 and I've been a fan of the Suicidal Family ever since.
