Inside sleeve was ripped. Twice…
I received my order and the inside sleeve was ripped. Ordered a replacement and it showed up quickly with the same rip in the same spot. Pretty disappointed, because I love the music.

    Though many critics (largely self-appointed ones) and fans will probably disagree, the truth is that "A Way of Life" has always been the most consistent, diverse and musically complex of all Suicide's albums. In terms of pure sound it is also their least dated work and constituted a brilliant update of the group's signature in 1988. Unfortunately, it's always been pretty underrated, usually because of the enormous degree of mythologization that their two first records have enjoyed in the underground scene throughout the years. Of all Suicide albums this is perhaps the most difficult to pinpoint as it falls into a kind of middle ground between their seminal first years and their more mediocre recent activities as a duo ("Why be Blue", "American Supreme"). The sound featured on "A Way of Life" is therefore the hardest to label as it is quite different to anything Suicide has recorded before or after; that's the reason I think it is precisely the one who best provides the listener with a general feeling about Vega's and Rev's usual themes and their fiery conception of music. In a way it's like a review of their past and a prediction of future approaches, the perfect summary of their career so far and a step into whatever else was to come.

    Ric Ocasek's production is stunning in this their third full-length album and it perfectly encapsulates the obsessive dynamics of the ominous and suffocating sequences played by Martin Rev. For his part, Alan Vega's lyrics depart from the occasional simplicity of past releases and become more elaborated ("Rain of Ruin", "Dominic Christ"). The blend of his vocal performance along with Rev's powerful rhythms results into one of the best and most seductive albums of the late 80's (the disturbingly infectious "Wild in Blue", "Devastation" and "Jukebox Babe '96" are good examples). You can almost perceive a sense of danger and menace in the air each time you give it a spin -well it's difficult to explain-. Of course, as usually occurs with music which dares to go beyond the ordinary, this awesome record went almost unnoticed and it's still a quite unknown release to this day.

    All the tracks are indeed very good, "A Way of Life" is one of those albums with no filler at all. It doesn't matter which track you hear first, they all seem to come out right whatever the order you play them. Until recently, this album was very hard to find on CD so this reissue by Mute records is very welcomed. This expanded version includes a superb bonus track (the hypnotic "Heat Beat") and an additional CD containing a live performance in London. The sound has been digitally remastered by Martin Rev and the lovely "Surrender" (one of the most beautiful synthesised ballads ever recorded) has been remixed, differing markedly from the original L.P version but still very satisfying (I've always wondered... how could it be that this song wasn't a big hit?).

    A gem to be rediscovered and one of my big favourite records. A pity Suicide hasn't achieved this same level once again since this great album was released.

    Not to be missed, this is Suicide at their finest.

    These slightly later tracks enhance our appreciations fo the melodic threads that flow through Vega's staccatto lyrics.

    35th Anniversary Edition. Blue Transparent vinyl looks great and sounds amazing. Dynamic. Clear. Quiet vinyl. No cleaning necessary. This version also comes with an insert which is like a mini poster of the cover artwork. Taking one star off because mine came with a badly split inner sleeve to which other reviewers have noted. Jacket was not split. Also they could have skipped the bonus track Born in the USA. It doesn't make sense and kind of ruins the mood and feel of the album as a coherent work. It's an oddity tacked on to the end.

    This is my favorite Suicide album, tied with the first eponymous album. Ric Ocasek's production has yielded a more mature and polished sound from the duo without losing much in the way of edge. Standout tracks for me are "Wild in Blue", "Rain of Ruin", "Sufferin' in Vain", "Jukebox Baby '96" and "Heat Beat".
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2006
    After being amazed/hypnotized by Suicide's first album, the second one's drier, slicker sound seemed to undermine the band's dark power. Since Ric Ocasek was the apparent culprit, I skipped A Way of Life when it came out several years later with Ocasek's name on the production credit.
    Only now catching up with this excellent 2-CD re-issue by Mute, I see Suicide's third try reintroduces a dense, mesmeric sound. With driving synth-bass and drum patterns as its foundation, A Way of Life is more insistent and shadowy than the second L.P. and anything they've done since.
    Martin Rev's pulsating electronics really carry the show here, and while Alan Vega's vocals only approach the ghost-of-Elvis crooning that established the first L.P. as a contender, they still strike near-gothic heights (and depths).
    With the exception of the maudlin (yet spooky) pseudo-1950s romancer I Surrender, Way of Life lets loose one trance-inducing electro-throb after another, with the catchiest of the lot being the pace-setting opener, Wild in Blue, and the entertainingly intense Rain of Ruin. Love So Lovely delivers a fast-paced nod to the sound and atmosphere of the first album and Devastation, the original issue's downbeat but swinging closer, effectively updates it.
    There are occasional letdowns on the drum patterns, which at times lack bottom and sport sadistically metronomic snare strikes. But with an excellent bonus track, Heat Beat, and a second disc of an alternately intense and comical 1987 live show (hearing Vega start to sing Cheree to the audience's roaring delight only to proceed to maul it into an unrecognizable mess is probably worth the cover charge alone) this re-issue is essential for Suicide admirers and those who like electronic rock music that's propulsive, repetitive and drug-friendly.

    ¿De dónde sale la fama de este grupo?
    Si no por su nombre.
    Con cierta edad una desarrollada ya un gusto más que sólido, y esto es absolutamente imposible de escuchar.
    Y no por absolutamente nada después de dos o canciones.
    Lo volví a plastificar y lo devolví corriendo, por favor, para recuperar mi poco aunque valioso dinero.
    Y no tirarlo en cosas así.
