It wasn't uncommon in the late 80's and early 90's for a thrash band to cover some punk tunes. Well, since Suicidal started off as a punk band before becoming a thrash metal band, I guess it was only natural for them to re-record their own songs. Suicidal's first album was pretty much frenzied skate punk along the lines of Black Flag. The production and performance were amateurish but they had a spark and hunger that no producer or professional musician could add. With a completely new band, who are far superior musicians I was a bit worried that the 'spark' that the original release had would be lost, especially if the band attempted to 'thrash up' these songs. However, "Still Cyco After all These Years" upholds the tradition of Suicidal Tendencies. Whether anyone likes this re-recorded version better than the original, I suppose is a matter of opinion. I personally prefer the original as that was the record I grew up listening to. However, I don't think these re-recorded versions are bad either. I actually think that the guitar sound is better here, and there is no denying that Rocky George adds his own unique style to these classic punk songs. Just check out the guitar work that lays underneath the vocals on "Institutionalized". Several other songs have blazing solos that I don't remember being on the original recording. I also think some of these songs might be a bit faster than the originals. I didn't care for the changes the band made to "I Saw Your Mommy". Muir's more melodic vocal approach doesn't seem to work as well, although it could be that I am just use to hearing the song delivered in a more punk fashion. Overall, however, "Still Cyco..." is a strong buy for any metal/punk fan.
