"Controlled By Hatred / Feel Like Shit... Deja Vu" is an EP that features several re-recorded No Mercy songs, which was was Mike Clark's first band, and Mike Muir replaced No Mercy's original singer sometime in the mid-'80's. These songs are actually more typical of what Suicidal would become than "Join the Army" or the punk rock of their debut. The music here is fast, catchy thrash metal with the typical Mike Muir lyrical approach, touching on topics such as mental health, inner struggles, social issues and, of course, skateboarding. The band's image here was a mixture of gangster street thug and skates. Another cover features here is "Its Not Easy" which was originally recorded by Mike Muir's side project Los Cycos in 1985 for the "Welcome To Venice" compilation. Apparently this compilation is a sought after collector's item and worth quite a bit of money. There are two versions of "How Can I Laugh Tomorrow...", the first being a totally useless video edit versions. The "heavy emotion version" on the other hand is pretty cool and turns the song into a quasi-ballad. This was the first record to feature bassist Robert Trujillo, although for whatever reason, he is credited as "Stymee". (Robert went on to join Ozzy then later Metallica.)
