Starting off the new year by getting back to some records that I've picked up from Tim's collection. I can't believe that I've been stretching this out for over a year now. When Jeff gave me the list of what was available back in 2024, he gave me plenty of room to pick through it at my leisure, but honestly, I need need to get this wrapped up. I still have a few big records that I need to pick up from him, and plenty sitting in a stack here to get up on the blog.
I've been looking forward to picking up the Suicidal Tendencies album that Tim had in his collection for a while. Join The Army was such a change for the band at the time. I clearly remember listening to the cassette in my car on the drive home from the mall after picking it up, and not really sure what to make of it. Was this the same band that did songs like Subliminal and I Shot The Devil? It felt like such a departure that I had to double check to make sure that there wasn't another band using the Suicidal Tendencies name. I obviously came to really enjoy Join The Army and all of the crossover bands from that time, so it felt good to finally pick up this classic.
Man, listening to this really puts me in an 80's state of mind. Good thing I have a bunch of other records from Tim to help feed the obsession.
