Suicidal Tendencies/How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Cant Even Smile Today/CBS Records 1988 Cassette Review


  Suicidal  Tendencies  are  a  band  from  Venice  Beach,  California  that  played  a  mixture  of  thrash,  hardcore,  punk  and  metal  on  this  recording  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  1988  album  "How  Will  I Laugh  Tomorrow  When  I  Cant  Even  Smile  Today"  which  was  released  by  CBS  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  not  much  in  the  way  of  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  metal,  thrash,  punk  and  hardcore  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  a  good  amount  of  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  soft  and  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  sounding  heavy  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  range  from  hardcore  style  shouts  to  clean  singing,  while  the  lyrics  cover  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  for  the  time  it  was  released  and  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  was  a  great  sounding  recording  from  Suicidal  Tendencies  and  if  you  are  a  fan of  this  band,  you  probably  already  own  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Trip  At  The  Brain"  "Pledge  Your  Allegiance"  "The  Miracle"  and  "The  Feeling's  Back".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
