SUICIDAL TENDENCIES

The story so far
Judging from their name, Suicidal Tendencies were never afraid of a little controversy. Formed in Venice, CA, during the early '80s, the group's leader from the beginning was outspoken vocalist Mike Muir. The outfit specialized in vicious hardcore early on -- building a huge following among skateboarders, lending a major hand in the creation of skatepunk -- before turning their focus eventually to thrash metal. Early on, the group (whose original lineup included Muir, guitarist Grant Estes, bassist Louiche Mayorga, and drummer Amery Smith) found it increasingly difficult to book shows, due to rumors of its members' affiliation with local gangs and consistent violence at their performances. The underground buzz regarding Suicidal Tendencies grew too loud for labels to ignore though, as the quartet signed on with the indie label Frontier; issuing Muir and company's classic self-titled debut in 1983. The album quickly became the best-selling hardcore album up to that point; its best-known track, "Institutionalized," was one of the first hardcore punk videos to receive substantial airplay on MTV, and was eventually used in the Emilio Estevez cult classic movie Repo Man, as well as in an episode for the hit TV show Miami Vice (for which the group made a cameo appearance).
Suicidal Tendencies proved influential for future speed/thrash metal bands, but despite its early success, the quartet's reputation preceded them, as no other record label was willing to take them on (in addition, Los Angeles banned the group from playing around this time, lasting until the early '90s). Not much was heard from the group for several years afterward (leading many to believe that Suicidal had broken up), but Muir and company eventually found a home with Caroline Records. By this time, half of the original lineup had left; Muir and Mayorga were the only holdovers, while guitarist Rocky George and drummer R.J. Herrera rounded out the group. 1987 saw the release of Suicidal's sophomore release, Join the Army, which spawned another popular skatepunk anthem, "Possessed to Skate," as more and more metal heads began to be spotted in Suicidal's audience. Soon after, Suicidal was finally offered a major-label contract (with Epic), as another lineup change occurred: Mayorga exited the band, while newcomer Bob Heathcote took his spot; and a second guitarist, Mike Clark, was added as well. This Suicidal lineup's first album together, 1988's How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today, showed that their transformation from hardcore to heavy metal was now complete, as did a compilation of two earlier EPs, 1989's Controlled by Hatred/Feel Like Shit...Déjà
Suicidal's first release of the new decade, 1990's Lights, Camera, Revolution, was another success; its video for the explosive "You Can't Bring Me Down" received repeated airings on MTV's Headbanger's Ball program, while the album (in addition to the Controlled by Hatred comp) would be certified gold in the U.S. a few years later. The release also signaled the arrival of new bassist Robert Trujillo, whose penchant for funk added a new element to the group's sound. The group tried to broaden their audience even further by opening a string of arena shows for prog-metallists Queensrÿche during the summer of 1991. Their next release, 1992's The Art of Rebellion, proved to be one of Suicidal's most musically experimental albums of their career. Muir and Trujillo also teamed up around this time for a funk metal side project, Infectious Grooves (including several other participants, such as Jane's Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins) and issued a debut release, The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move. Upset that the group's classic debut had been out of print for several years by this point, Muir decided to re-record the entire record with Suicidal's '90s lineup under the title of Still Cyco After All These Years.
But after one more release, 1994's Suicidal for Life, Suicidal Tendencies decided to hang it up. A pair of compilations were issued in 1997: a best-of set, Prime Cuts, plus Friends & Family. Muir and Trujillo continued to issue further Infectious Grooves releases (Sarsippius' Ark and Groove Family Cyco), in addition to Muir pursuing a solo career under the alias of Cyco Miko (Lost My Brain Once Again) and Trujillo touring and recording as part of Ozzy Osbourne's solo band (appearing on Osbourne's 2001 release, Down to Earth). Muir formed a new version of Suicidal Tendencies in the late '90s (with Clark being the only other familiar face), resulting in such further studio releases as 1999's Freedumb and 2000's Free Your Soul and Save My Mind. Muir and Trujillo joined forces once more for a fourth Infectious Grooves studio release in 2000, Mas Borracho; while another Cyco Miko release surfaced, Schizophrenic Born Again Problem Child, along with a follow-up up to their earlier compilation, Friends & Family, Vol. 2. Now the band will be back with their brand new album for 2009.......

Weezer – Raditude "new album"
Rivers Cuomo dengan ketiga temannya di Weezer kembali mengajak Anda melupakan sejenak permasalahan dan bermain bersama mereka dalam album terbaru, Raditude. Jika diperhatikan, konsep seperti inilah yang selalu diusung oleh Weezer. Mari bermain bersama mereka dalam suka maupun duka.
Seperti biasa, Rivers mengangkat hal-hal ironis, yang umumnya terjadi pada kehidupan pribadinya, menjadi sesuatu yang musikal. Hal ini dapat Anda temukan dalam album-album Weezer, mulai dari Blue Album hingga Red Album. Satu hal yang membedakan adalah terlihat proses pendewasaan dari diri Rivers pada setiap albumnya.
Dulu pada era Blue Album dan Pinkerton, mungkin Anda akan mendapatkan seorang geek bernama Rivers yang pasrah dengan segala yang terjadi di sekitarnya. Di Raditude, Anda kembali akan menemui geek tersebut. Ia sekarang sudah berumur, berpengalaman, dan berusaha mengajak Anda memberontak terhadap keadaan dengan cara berpesta dan bernyanyi bersama-sama. Walaupun kepasrahan akan keadaan, tetap terasa pada lirik-lirik Weezer yang tetap ironis.
Berbeda dengan album sebelumnya, Red Album, Weezer pada kesempatan kali ini berusaha mengeksplorasi ke beberapa daerah yang belum pernah mereka jamah sebelumnya. Secara suara dan produksi album, Raditude memiliki kualitas yang lebih dibandingkan album-album Weezer sebelumnya.
Berperan sebagai single pertama, lagu “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” menggebrak album ini dan memperlihatkan Rivers yang masih bisa nakal dengan rhythm-rhythm yang catchy. Pada lagu “I’m your Daddy” Weezer mencoba peruntungan di ranah dance dengan memasukan drum loop standar musik dance.
Pada lagu “Can’t Stop Partying”, Rivers seperti berkata “Hey, beat dance terdengar keren! Mari sekalian saja kita maksimalkan di lagu ini”. Untuk lagu “Love is the Answer”, Weezer mengepak barang bawaan mereka dan pergi melancong ke timur untuk mendapat pencerahan lewat layer-layer suara sitar, biduanita India, dan seruling psikedelik.
Jangan harap Anda mendapatkan kekonyolan remaja ala Blue Album dan Pinkerton di album ini. Ya, Rivers terkadang masih ironis di Raditude, hanya saja ia terlihat lebih serius dalam menyiapkan apa yang dia senandungkan di album ini.
