"Proof that punk was more about attitude than a raw, guitar-driven sound, Suicide's self-titled debut set the duo apart from the rest of the style's self-proclaimed outsiders. Over the course of seven songs, Martin Rev's dense, unnerving electronics - including a menacing synth bass, a drum machine that sounds like an idling motorcycle, and harshly hypnotic organs - and Alan Vega's ghostly, Gene Vincent-esque vocals defined the group's sound and provided the blueprints for post-punk, synth pop, and industrial rock in the process".

"The remastered re-release of Suicide's landmark debut album from 1977, with 28-page booklet and previously unseen photographs, reinforces its status as an influential landmark in music history ... Throughout the album, the metronomic pulse that channels the motorik rhythms of Krautrock fellow travellers like Can, Neu! and Kraftwerk is overlaid with twinkling melodies - often on an antique Farfisa organ - but the prettiness is counterbalanced by Vega's nervy, unsettling vocals and Craig Leon's spacey dub-like production, all reverb and delay, influenced by his previous job working with Lee 'Scratch' Perry in Jamaica, the final result being tweaked by the band's manager, Marty Thau, who also owned Red Star, the label on which the album was first released ... This album remains one that should be in every record collection, irrespective of your preferred musical genre. It's that good".
