suicide Machines” />
Following the hyper-aggressive Battle Hymns, The Suicide Machines is a surprisingly toned-down effort, often scrapping the band’s previous third-wave ska style in favor of a catchy, mainstream punk-pop/alt-rock sound. While there are a few ska and hardcore-influenced tracks reminiscent of the band’s earlier days, their manic energy has largely been replaced by more detailed arrangements; some of the harder-rocking tracks are reined in by chiming, clean-toned guitars in the background, for example, and a few cuts even use string sections. There are a couple of moments that sound a little generic, but overall, the record’s move toward greater accessibility undeniably works, however disappointed some fans might be with the fact that most of the Suicide Machines’ rough edges have been smoothed out.

WoW, they must have been on some serious downers when they put this album, ALL the songs are crap, it\\’s almost like this hardcore punk band is trying to do the Weezer thing, with no success in doing so.
People, if you are reading this, and thinking about buying this album, DON\\’T.
if you want the REAL Suicide Machines, and what they\\’re all about PLEASE pick up “Steal this Record”
This Album\\’s like TSM trying to do their own Chris Gains thing, like in stead of rocking, they tryed sucking for one album.

First of all, you got ripped off. Nowhere in my town will somebody make me pay 17 bucks for a punk album. And 2nd of all what the hell is wrong with you, it\\’s funny that these are the same 4 suicide machines as always. They may sound a little different but it\\’s still quality music, and by the way, its called napster, some intelligent human beings use it to preview cd\\’s, I suggest you use it in the future.

Sure, this cd isn\\’t like their other ones but it still rocks. They haven\\’t gone pop, they\\’ve just changed their tune a little bit. This cd is still really, really good.

The Suicide Machines used to be really cool. Their last CD was great, and so was the one before that. They totally represented the Punk/Ska scene. But alas, they too have sold out, like Blink 182. This CD offers little more than a few catchy beats, and lyrically its crap.

The suicide machines were once cool but now they suck. They have become sellouts and will soon become blink 182. Damn this world.

this sucks, i dont care if its not like
destruction or battle hymns, i played it for a friend of mine
who also liked tsm he couldnt even recognize it. this
is pure garbage, if you are set on giving this album
a good review you must have never heard the others,
or are just a die hard suicide fan. it looks to me
like there little flirtation with the mainstream cost
them alot more than they thought it would, i know ill
never buy another one of there albums. Do you think its
cause Derrek left the band? I do.

I liked them and I still like them, but this one
was pretty bad. I would rather poo in my mouth than
listen to that album again. But hey, the good news is I
had a birthday present to give to my 9 year old
cousin. By the way, she loved it and all her fourth grade
friends liked it too. So some good did come out of this
album. Just not out of the speakers.

the suicide machines many different sounds on
this album from pop to punk to ska. the album sounds
super-poppy the first few times you listen to it. but after
time it grows on you and becomes more punk as time
grows on. this is not the suicide machines best album,
but it is still a good album.
