  • The Western Carolinian Page 9 Thursday, November 17, 1988 Album Review Suicidal Tendencies by Colin Burch STAFF WRITER To be honest with you, I am writing this album review several days after I've listened to the album. I've been recovering from listening to it straight through at the Community Mental Hospital. They took the album away from me. but enough about me, let's get on with the review ... Puke! Suicidal Tendencies has a new album out on CBS records and tapes called "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today," (copyright 1988 "You'll Be Sorry!" Music) and it is really depressing stuff. This music is, for the most part, "thrash" or "speed metal" as opposed to a punk/metal style that appeared on their previous albums. To describe the music, I'll just say "gut-wrenching." My stomach was knotting as I listened to this album, and I'm used to heavy metal. I mean, some of the bands I listen to a lot include Dokken, Yngwie J. Malmsteem's Rising Force, and even some occasional Metallica. But Suicidal Tendencies takes them all. What I mean by that is the music (I'm using that word loosely) on this album is terrible, not better metal, but just suicidal thrash. Who needs it? You can't listen to two songs without them imposing a major mood swing. I imagine Metallica and Megadeath fans would discard this album after a listening. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but for this trash I would support the Parental Music Resource Commission. There is no way that kids under eighteen should be able to buy this album. I'm for warning labels on this one album. Now I had heard four previous Suicidal Tendencies "songs" before listening to this album. They were: "I Saw Your Mommy and Your Mommy's Dead," "Institutionalized," "Suicidal Failure," and "Subliminal F?!king." I thought these songs, especially "I Saw Your Mommy and Your Mommy's Dead," were hilarious. But if you think you can handle this new album based on these past riotous songs, don't. This album isn't even remotely humorous. "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow ..." seems to have two opposing messages. One is an attitude of "what's worth living for?/take your life!" and another of "I'm going to make it through so I can laugh in your face!" The lyrics are simplistic rhymes, but they do seem to carry a point to them. Suicidal youth can probably really get into where they arc coming from. The "what's worth living for?/take your life!" aspect of this album is most predominant. "Trip at the Brain," the first track on the album, is a good example. Just before the hardcore guitar kicks in, you hear a scratchy whispering of "shithead shithead shithead" (no, there wasn't dust on the phono needle and no it doesn't say anything backwards). Then the "song" begins. Check out some of these lyrics: "I took a wrong turn and ended up at my heart/ It could barely even pump no blood it was so thrashed and torn apart/ Thank(ed) it for working overtime in pain and misery/ Then I set back on the trail, headed for my destiny." Then there's the title track, which makes a little more sense but is no more enlightening. This is pretty heavy: "Find no hope in nothing new — never had a dream come true/ Lies and hate and agony — thru my eyes that's all I see/ If I'm gonna cry — will you wipe away my tears?/ Before I drown in sorrow — last thing that I'll say/ How will I laugh tomorrow when I can't even smile today." Now on two particular songs, Suicidal Tendencies are contradicting themselves yet redeeming themselves. "The Feeling's Back" is a "spit back in their face" type of song, part of which goes: "I'm gonna breathe I'm gonna live — that's right — nothing's gonna stop me/ I'm gonna fight I'm gonna win — that's right — nothing's gonna stop me." "If I Don't Wake Up" doesn't sound like it's going to be a track about sticking out when times are rough — it doesn't even start out that way. But read what it says: "Why should I wake up in the morning — it be just another wasted day/ Why should I wake up in the morning — I'll prove you wrong I will not fail/ I'm gonna wake up in the morning — I'm gonna blaze a brand new trail/ Might not be smart but if I'm strong/1 know for sure no one ever will prove me wrong." No matter what the message, though, the music will get to you, wear on you. Friends, there is enough depressing stuff in the world today^and even in everyday school life. You don't need to compound things. Don't buy this album. Now where did I put that razor blade . .. OUTDOORS American Chestnut by Tony Fisher STAFF WRITER Things change. Seventy years ago the American chestnut was in many ways the most important tree in the Appalachian region. Today, only the mossy stumps and a few rugged snags remain. The demise of the American chestnut is a classic example of the devastation that can result when an imported disease encounters a species with no natural immunity. Just as the American Indians were ravaged by European diseases such as smallpox, the American chestnut fell victim to an imported fungus. This fungus probably entered North America on Chinese chestnut trees, which are fairly resistant to this disease. However, the effect of QUIN Theatres 586-5918 ALIEN NATION PREPARE YOURSELF r==-i IfoOidl JK. 'Sfo, nni°0UBSTCTt0T „ .StitCHDMnSSI ¥H98S TWENTIETH CENTDR'FOK FILM CORPORATION 7:10 & 9:10 He's bock!

The disease became known as the chestnut blight, and is believed to have originated in New York City in 1904, presumably from infected Chinese trees. Within forty years, one of the most valuable species in eastern North America was eradicated. The American chestnut was saved from extinction due to the efforts of people who transplanted it into regions of the country where the fungus is non-existent. In addition, young trees continue to sprout from blighted stumps, although they inevitably succumb to the same disease that killed the parent tree. This magnificent tree was once a source of beauty, food, fuel, tools, shelter, and income in these mountains. The nut nourished both man and animals. Chestnuts were roasted, ground into flour, used in soup and other recipes, and occasionally boiled as a coffee substitute. Wild game thrived on the nuts, and farmers fattened domestic animals on them as well. Chestnut wood was light, rot resistant, and easily worked. It was used for everything from cabin logs to kitchen utensils.

The worm holes which give this wood is name and unique rustic look occurred after the blight killed the trees. The chestnut rails that are sold today are also the remains of long dead trees. One could lament the loss of such a fine tree, but that would serve no purpose now. Of course there are lessons to be learned from this experience, but wc know them already. The Audubon Field Guide to North American Trees offers a precise and poignant epitaph: " Formerly a large tree with a massive trunk and a broad, rounded, dense, crown; now small sprouts from base of long-dead trees."
