Album name：Suicide Machines
Say the words 'change of sound' to a fan in regard to their favorite band's latest release and check for a reaction. In the case of the Suicide Machines, a lot of folks who enjoyed Destruction by Definition and Battle Hymns will likely use the s word when referring to the Detroit-based band's third effort: sellout. Instead of high-octane ska and punk, the Suicide Machines have ventured into Green Day-Blink 182 territory. The opening track 'Sometimes I Don't Mind' (a salute to bassist Royce Nunley's dog) is inoffensive at worst, catchy as hell at best. When the band rears back and blasts out more gristle-laced heavings like 'I Hate Everybody,' it almost sounds forced. The band's future may be in sunshiny, upbeat power pop--the hooks on 'Perfect Day' and 'Too Many Words' are not for the jaded. This disc fits the cliché 'short but sweet' perfectly. --Jason Josephes
