Scream out...
Genre: hardcore punk
While excelling in crossover thrash and funk metal, Mike Muir decided to take Suicidal Tendencies back to its hardcore punk roots on this album.
This means the the album is full of uptempo and quite simple hardcore punk tracks with very little thrash metal elements on it (metal is present though), and perhaps most metalheads might not really like this album - I quite like it though, simply because it is upbeat and full of energy.
The slappy bass has taken the backseat on this album, as hardcore punk of course does not lend itself that well to funkiness - but, fans of the more funky Suicidal, despair not: there are some funky elements and there is some slapping and popping every now and then.
So, "Freedumb" is much more of a hardcore punk release, and probably not among those Suicidal releases that appeal the most to metalheads - still, if your looking for some upbeat punk to to ballistics to, then, by all means check this one out.
