The very 1st album, a shock: some tracks became standards, and will follow Suicide along those 30 years. Rocket the USA is a standard, which had been covered many times, Ghost Rider had been covered again in 1999 by Alan Vega with Etants Donnés,...). Even after several years of existence, Suicide was the most innovative: then one of the aspects the more shocking was to make a disc of rock'n'roll, without any guitar, nor drums. On the french sleeve pocket, Roy Trakin says "I consider Suicide one of the half-dozen most important acts in rock and roll -like the Doors, The Stones, The Stooges, The Dolls and The Velvet Undergound before them."
