The Greatest Music
Suicide
by Suicide
The 199th greatest album of all time
Suicide, the 1977 debut by the duo Suicide, pairs Martin Rev's sparse, repetitive synths and drum-machine patterns with Alan Vega's confrontational, often spoken or shouted vocals to create a stark, urban sound. The album's abrasive minimalism and unsettling narratives are exemplified by tracks such as "Ghost Rider" and the harrowing "Frankie Teardrop." Widely regarded as an influential work in No Wave, electropunk, minimal synth, and art punk, it helped shape later strands of industrial and electronic music.
