"Amazingly Suicide has again subtly reinvented thier own sound as American Supreme is a bit leaner and darker than Why Be Blue. It is full of musical surprises and pitfalls from Mr Rev and Vega too has not fallen prey to his own cliché but rants rather with a new strange energy. Go get it."

"Suicide are back! On stage, I think it remains offensive and, well, "avantgarde". Rev fighting with his keyboard with a dark and freaky Vega screaming behind his shades. On the album, it is less "in your face"... the musical background sounds a little bit pre-programmed and the vocals are really distant from the whole mix. And that Hip Hop influence sounds bizarre to me... Anyway, it is FAR way better than their previous release, Why Be Blue!!! There's a great moody atmosphere on American Supreme, and it has its moments. Good."
Masterpiece

"Suicide has always been one of the most inovative bands around.This album is brilliant, it is also a great commentry regarding the American publics blind rage and insane reaction to the events of 9/ll."
Strong. Bold. Powerful.

"Very pleased to have bought this cd. If the streets of the world had a soundtrack, this would be it. The music and vocals are very hypnotic. I keep envisioning blood flowing through the veins of civilization as I listen to this. The words are like cells full of truth. I don't find this dark...it just tells it like it is during these strange days on earth. Jim Morrison only wished he could sound as good as Vega. Pure artistry. Kudos you guys. Glad you are still making music after all these years."
