Artist: SUICIDAL TENDENCIES
Album: LIGHTS CAMERA REVOLUTION (CD)

Year: 1990
Media type: CD

Lights...Camera...Revolution! is the fourth full length album (not counting the Controlled By Hatred/Feel Like Shit...Dйjа Vu compilation) by Suicidal Tendencies. It was released in 1990.

This album shows the band straying further away from their their roots as a hardcore punk band and beginning to solidify themselves more and more as a thrash metal band. At this point, it could be argued that the band had moved from "Crossover Thrash" to "Thrash Metal". The song arrangements are more complex, as are the lyrics. This was also the first Suicidal Tendencies album to display heavy funk influences, which has a lot to do with the input of new bassist Robert Trujillo.

This was the only full length album to feature the "classic" Suicidal Tendencies lineup, which many fans feel was technically the strongest lineup the band has had to date. Drummer R.J. Herrera would leave before the release of their next album, The Art of Rebellion. The remaining four members of the band (with various drummers), would remain in the band from this point until their breakup in 1995 (only to reform again in 1997, sans all members but Muir and Clark).

Singles off this album included "You Can't Bring Me Down", "Send Me Your Money", and "Alone". The video for "You Can't Bring Me Down" received lots of MTV airplay, and was largely responsible for the success of this album. It was certified gold a few years later. It was also nominated for the "Best Metal Performance" Grammy Award in 1990, losing to Metallica's "Stone Cold Crazy" (a band which Trujillo would ironically join later).
