SUICIDE appreciation/recommondation thread
 

I've bought the first album recently and I absolutely love it.
Which album by them would you recommend me to buy next?

II.

That's all you really need...

Then get Alan Vega's first solo album Jukebox Baby.
Then Martin Rev's first solo album on ROIR.
I love the 6xCD live recordings box set that was released this year but it's probably a bit much for most.

I agree until American Supreme, which I think was a very strong record. It doesn't sound like their first two records, but I think that's a good thing. Vega and Rev work together like few duos can, and American Supreme is one of the only musical/lyrical comments on 9/11 I've heard that really dissects the whole phenomena poetically.

Good for you to pick that up. I fucking love Suicide. Don't laugh, but I think they're genius. Sooo minimal, but with so much crazy weird energy and passion. Original as shit. The second one called Suicide as well is strong too, and i think they have an extra disc with it now. Well worth it.

I'd go for the Half Alive album. Their second album is good, but probably a bit jarring if you're expecting to hear something like the first album.

Vega helps push The Sisterhood into my top-ten.

I'd agree with all of the above, and I'd also recommend Vega's collaborations with Pan Sonic - 'Endless' and 'Resurrection River'

We should have a real suicide appreciation thread; as in, a thread for people who want to kill themselves. I think my post would get me a lot of rep.

I would get Suicide 2 and Way Of Life - that's a very underrated album, kind of like Suicide doing industrial music. Also has the song Surrender on, one of their best ballads (in the David Lynch-sense).

I think Alan Vega's best solo album is Saturn Strip. I love American Dreamer, Wipeout Beat, nearly all of that album.
