Okay, so this is not a new Suicidal Tendencies record; it\u2019s really a re-recording of Mike Muir\u2019s 1996 solo album under the name Cyco Miko. Lost My Brain (Once Again!) <\/i>was originally recorded with members of My Head and guitarist Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols. The best thing these re-recordings have going for it is the inclusion of Dave Lombardo on drums, which automatically makes everything sound better. Muir\u2019s vocals have changed considerably since the original record and it kind of hampers the recordings, particularly on \u201cI Love Destruction\u201d where the backup vocals sound better than Muir\u2019s own.<\/p>\n
Overall, this is a bit of dupe to most fans, but there are some that will absolutely love it. I wasn\u2019t impressed all that much, particularly as this is something the band has done many times in the past, so it feels unnecessary. But not all is lost here. For the most part, this kind of feels like a fun side thing for the band to do. \u201cFUBAR\u201d is just rough and quick, and \u201cAll Kinda Crazy\u201d is just weak, but I wasn\u2019t necessarily a fan of the original album to begin with so these tracks ain\u2019t doing a whole lot. Fortunately, the title track is a fun little blast that updates a boring record and makes it more interesting.<\/p>\n
Lombardo\u2019s drumming is without a doubt the best part of this record! He\u2019s an absolute beast who kills it on every song \u2013 just absolutely amazing. The album\u2019s new track \u201cSippin\u2019 From The Insanitea\u201d is more on par with more recent ST tracks and is one of the few highlights of the disc. <\/p>\n
Since the original album was recorded as Suicidal was dying out in the \u201890s, there is a lot of guitar shredding still prevalent in the sound; it allows Jeff Pogan and Dean Pleasants to just go nuts. \u201cGonna Be Alright\u201d attempts to slow things down a bit, though not too much; it still doesn\u2019t do too much to add to the album\u2019s appeal<\/p>\n
After awhile, the tempo of every song gets to be the same and you miss the collaborative spirit that is prevalent on regular Suicidal records. The best track here, however, is \u201cAll I Ever Get.\u201d Propelled by Lombardo\u2019s drumming and the gang vocals, it\u2019s a fun track that\u2019s really good for slamming around. This is the one track I hit repeat on endlessly.<\/p>\n
While I was first looking forward to this record, I ultimately left very disappointed. The fact that they\u2019re referring to this as a new album is even more disappointing, as this comes nowhere near some of the material ST has been putting out lately. This record is more of a miss, and I definitely look forward to the next real ST album where the real music will come out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":33597,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[9449],"rating":[5619],"class_list":["post-45418","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-suicidal-tendencies","rating-rating-c"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45418"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
