Original Recording. Epic Records # EK 44288

The band's first release with Epic was How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today, released in 1988. The album was almost completely stripped of the bands punk and hardcore roots, instead featuring a thrash-oriented sound with more complex song structures and a greater emphasis on instrumental skill than the band had ever shown previously. However, the album was considerably more melodic than most thrash metal albums, perhaps a lasting influence of the bands punk past.

How Will I Laugh… is crucial to Suicidal Tendencies stylistic developments in that it sees the band abandoning most of their full fledged punk influences in favor of a more thrash metal oriented sound. One could see this stylistic changes in this albums predecessor Join the Army, but this album had a distinctly more defined metal sound; more complex and lengthy songs, not to mention better production values. The addition of a rhythm guitarist, Mike Clark changed the bands style heavily as well. Clark writes much of the music for this album, and he gives lead guitarist Rocky George more soloing time. Thus creating another factor in this album and future albums more metal oriented sound. The band's major label debut, the album featured singles "Trip At The Brain" and the title track, both of which managed to become successful with their target audiences.


Suicidal Tendencies regrouped successfully for one of its best efforts, How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today. The band's thrashy fusion of its hardcore roots with speed metal was fully developed by this point, and Mike Muir's social commentary and self-analysis were as ragingly compelling and by turns amusing as ever. Highlights include "Trip at the Brain", "One Too Many Times", and the title track.
