    SUICIDE’s groundbreaking debut album will be given the Art of the Album treatment and reissued on red vinyl, CD and digitally on 12 July 2019 via Mute / BMG.
    The vinyl edition comes with an exclusive art print, while the CD edition is packaged in hard back book format. A limited edition badge is included with early pre-orders:
    Pre-Order Now! mutebank.co.uk....
    The Art of the Album series aims to give listeners the authoritative release of classic albums. With no extra tracks to distract or bulk up the reissue, the album itself is given the spotlight and for this release, Alan Vega and Martin Rev’s eponymous debut has been remastered and is presented with exclusive photographs and extensive sleeve notes by The Quietus’ John Doran detailing the album’s context, craft and legacy with interviews with many of the players.
    Suicide formed in the early 70s, reemerging in 1976 at the heart of the New York punk scene. The band continued releasing and performing until 2015’s acclaimed Punk Mass at the Barbican, London and Alan Vega’s death in July 2016.
    Originally released in 1977 on the Red Star label, Suicide were given barely any credit at the time but still it was unleashed into the world, its influence has been incalculable - numerous magazines have included it in their Greatest Albums lists, including MOJO, Uncut, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and NME, and the volume bands they went on to inspire throughout the decades is huge, with New Order, Depeche Mode, Bruce Springsteen, Moby, Soft Cell, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Primal Scream and Nick Cave just a few who have acknowledged their debt to the duo.

    Lyrics:
    Frankie teardrop
    Twenty year old Frankie
    He's married he's got a kid
    And he's working in a factory
    He's working from seven to five
    He's just trying to survive
    Well lets hear it for Frankie
    Frankie Frankie
    Well Frankie can't make it
    'Cause things are just too hard
    Frankie can't make enough money
    Frankie can't buy enough food
    And Frankie's getting evicted
    Oh let's hear it for Frankie
    Oh Frankie Frankie
    Oh Frankie Frankie
    Frankie is so desperate
    He's gonna kill his wife and kids
    Frankie's gonna kill his kid
    Frankie picked up a gun
    Pointed at the six month old in the crib
    Oh Frankie
    Frankie looked at his wife
    Shot her
    "Oh what have I done?"
    Let's hear it for Frankie
    Frankie teardrop
    Frankie put the gun to his head
    Frankie's dead
    Frankie's lying in hell
    We're all Frankies
    We're all lying in hell

      It's insane how ahead of its time it was, not just musically - which of course it was, massively - but yes, in terms of the alienation, greed, rampant almost rewarding of sociopathy, which was pushing people to the brink back in the late 70s when this was made, but even objective data has shown is only worse, nowadays. Crime was at an all time high in the US back then, especially in NYC where they were.
      A lot of people aren't aware Bruce Springsteen was hugely influenced and touched by their music, and even recorded one his most critically acclaimed albums, Nebraska, as a kind of paired down acoustic guitar thing inspired by this album.

    I'm no stranger to "difficult" music (Beefheart, Throbbing Gristle, Nurse With Wound etc.) and yet there's something so beautifully jarring about hearing this for the very first time.
    Reminds me of "Very Friendly" by TG but the groove here is so much more insistent, intriguing, funky... throbbing even. And in spite of it's abrasive nature it has such an expansive and beautiful atmosphere. True genius.

      Well, with the last name "Teardrop", it was never going to end well! This was a cult song back in the early 1980s, when we were listening to the same stuff as you: Joy Division (I actually knew someone who hanged himself after listening to too much Joy Divison), the Cure, Bauhaus, the Birthday Party, etc. And Lou Reed's "Berlin". If you've never heard it, that's a cheery album, especially "They're Taking her Children Away". And John Cale's "Music for a New Society". That one's as bleak as they come.

    This song really isn’t that disturbing, and I’m not being an edge lord or anything. Think about everything going on, what media and the world looked like back then. It was gritty and unforgiving, movies like Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now were coming out. In music, we had The Doors, Zeppelin, the entire “counter-culture movement”, Creedence, on and on. In politics, we’d had countless assassinations only a decade prior, we’d had a president assassinated and a president impeached, and we had complete civil unrest for over a decade, and all the while, a war that began nearly as soon as our last war had ended, and had continued on in to a new decade. It was only a couple of years in the past when this came out.
    Media in this period looks at the questions about life we don’t like to acknowledge. The filthy, unfair and morose parts of life. And it does it in an honest way. And that’s exactly what this is. This is Americana.

    Never knew a song could scare me. I saw a post about this song on reddit & i thought i could handle it & gave it a try. I saw someone either in the comments on reddit or youtube talk about how they had to take breaks while listening to this... now i see why. I don't think this song would of had the same effect on me had i of not listened to this alone in my room in the dark. I managed to get thru it without pausing it but it was hard, it gave me chills & i was even shaking a little tiny bit. This song is definitely one of a kind and an experience like nothing i've ever heard before.

    I've seen hell and this song genuinely fits it
    And no I'm not trying to be edgy, I was actually trapped in my own personal hell for multiple hours at my brother's wake, where my mind had finally shattered, I was rocking back and forth muttering no over and over again, I had my first seizure, and I had felt like that was all my life had ever been and ever would be. Hell is not lakes of fire like the Christians lead you to believe. Hell is unique to each individual, where you have to relive the worst moments of your life on loop for all eternity. What I witnessed was just a glimpse of what eternity could be. There's a reason that people who claim to be possessed go completely insane. Their minds are forced to endure the worst torture imaginable while their bodies still reside on our plane of existence.

    I came to this song after hearing it was "the scariest song of all time" which I think really ruined the experience because I was constantly expecting to be scared and feel the need to turn it off however that feeling never came.
    If I didn't hear the hype around it I think I would've appreciated this song for what it actually is. An experience. From what I gathered from hearing this it tells the story of a man called Frankie who clearly has some form of mental illness which cause him to kill his child and wife. He is then sent to hell because of this and the screams that are heard are supposed to be him burning in hell.
    What we hear is sort of what Frankie hears in his own deranged mind and I think the song as a whole is supposed to represent what it's like to be in the mind of a psychopath. At least that's what I gathered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
