Album Information
The album was actually recorded in 1989-1990 during the Lights...Camera...Revolution! sessions. Muir was upset that the original album, which is often considered a landmark hardcore album, was out of print at the time. Instead of reissuing the album, he decided to re-record it.
With the exception of Muir, the lineup that recorded Still Cyco is completely different from the lineup that recorded the original album, therefore making for an obvious difference in sound than the original. The band members on Still Cyco were generally considered more technically proficient than the original band, making for a tighter sound overall. Muir's voice has also changed, as he at this point has a more pure style of singing as opposed to the screaming/ranting style of the original album. Many fans liked this version of the album but thought it was less "genuine", as many of the songs on the album relied on youthful angst better exemplified by the younger band that Suicidal was in 1983 as opposed 1993.
The album's cover mimicked the original's, with the exception of Muir being the only band member to be hanging upside-down by his feet (possibly a reference to the fact that he was the only original band-member featured on the record).
Singles were released for "Institutionalized" and "I Saw Your Mommy".
In 2008, the album was demoted to a budget release.

“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life.
