Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev is the second studio album by the American band Suicide. It was produced by Ric Ocasek of the Cars for ZE Records in 1980...

At the end of 1980, Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev was listed as one of the year's best albums by the NME. In his retrospective review for AllMusic, Andy Kellman said of the album: "Perhaps it's not as renegade as Suicide, but it's an arguably better, more realized work, and just as essential".[8] Select's Ian Johnston, reviewing the Blast First re-issue, said that the album was "unjustly less celebrated" and sounded "remarkably like contemporary electronica", referring to it as "a timeless recording"

IT'S ABOUT TIME 4 THIS ONE:

"Rocket rocket U.S.A
Shooting on down, I'm on my way
TV star riding around
...
Whole country is doing a fix
It's doomsday, doomsday
---
Speeding down the skyway
100 miles per hour
Gonna crash
Gonna die
Ooh yeah
And I don't care"
