**Red Coloured Vinyl / limited pressing

Suicidal Tendencies's debut has been regarded by critics as one of the most influential

punk rock albums of all time and has inspired an untold number of influential musicians.

"Suicidal Tendencies" has also been cited as an influence or favorite album by each of

the "big four" of thrash metal (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax) as well as

California punk bands such as The Offspring and NOFX. Red colored vinyl includes

original lyric sheet. In 1982 Suicidal Tendencies emerged from Venice, CA, with a

dedicated audience among area skaters and surfers. As they established themselves on

the Los Angeles punk scene, the group released their self-titled debut on Frontier

Records with songs like 'Institutionalized,' 'Fascist Pig,' and 'Suicide's an Alternative.'

"Suicidal Tendencies" became the bestselling American punk album of all time and

launched the band into their long-lasting career. 'Institutionalized' has been referenced

in many other songs, mostly its quote "all I wanted was a Pepsi". It is referenced in the

Sage Francis song 'Slow Down Gandhi,' Limp Bizkit also referenced it in the song 'Stuck',

also the lines "All I wanted was a Pepsi " are also quoted near the ending of the Cypress

Hill song 'How I Could Just Kill a Man,' and Body Count recorded a cover version of

'Institutionalized', with new lyrics written by singer Ice-T, called 'Institutionalized 2014.'

Suicidal Tendencies became the chameleons of aggressive rock 'n' roll. Starting with

their debut album on Frontier Records in 1983, the band progressed from the punk rock

genre into heavy metal/thrash. Throughout this transformation, singer, founder, and

leader Mike Muir broadcast his own message with wit and wisdom to anyone that would

listen. After the video for 'Institutionalized' broke through the MTV airwaves as the first

hardcore video for the channel, the song gained further notoriety on the soundtrack for

the cult film "Repo Man" in 1984. The original album continues to be a perennial punk

rock best seller due to its wide appeal and catchy tunes. Every song on it is great. It's a

perfect crossover between hardcore punk and metal.
