(For the record, I love Darklands, Automatic, and Honey's Dead.)Īnyway, here's A Way of Life, which has sparse, electro-punk that's much in the same vein as their first record ('Wild in Blue', 'Sufferin' in Vain'), an uneasy, girl group-style love song worthy of a David Lynch film ('Surrender'), a synth-driven re-imagining of Elvis-esque rock 'n roll ('Jukebox Baby 96') and an anthemic piece of driving almost electro-industrial ('Rain of Ruin'). Like, Psychocandy is the only JAMC record that gets accolades, but at least people acknowledge their other albums. Look, I know, their first album is phenomenal, and absolutely deserves to be heralded as a classic, but why do so many people act like it's the only fucking Suicide album? Their other records are so good! A similar thing has happened to lots of bands - first album is a groundbreaking classic, and no one fully gets down with anything they do afterwards - but not to the degree of Suicide.
