One of my favourite records of the band. I first heard this way back in the day on cassette yet was still impressed by it. This is pretty much in the same vein as Anthrax with the mid-paced chugging, prime example of that being 'You Got, I Want', and there's far more melody on here than the debut album, the band hardly venturing into frenetic realms at all and that does them no harm at all. Suicidal Tendencies ease from skate-thrash melody ('Suicidal Maniac'), to the chanting 'Join The Army', with only 'The Prisoner' and 'possessed To Skate' providing any real speed, although 'Cyco' goes pretty much of the rails, and there are some cracking mid-'80s bass-line trickles on offer also, check out the Anthrax-esque intro of 'A Little Each Day'.
Overall, a good quality crossover record.
6.5/10
