Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Controlled by Hatred / Feel Like Shit… Déjà Vu is the fourth album by American crossover thrash band Suicidal Tendencies, released on October 17, 1989 by Epic Records. Despite containing re-recorded songs of previously released material, Controlled by Hatred / Feel Like Shit… Déjà Vu is still considered a studio album rather than an EP or a compilation album. It includes four covers of No Mercy, a cover of Los Cycos ("It's Not Easy"), two never-before released tracks ("Just Another Love Song" and "Feel Like Shit… Déjà Vu") and two different versions of "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow" (from the band's 1988 album with the same title): the "video edited" version and the "heavy emotion" version. Controlled by Hatred is the first of three Suicidal Tendencies albums to go gold.
The album itself is represented as two fictional EPs―the first four tracks are Controlled by Hatred and the rest are Feel Like Shit… Déjà Vu. It features six new recordings―four of which are covers of No Mercy songs, one is a cover of Los Cycos, an outtake from the previous album's sessions, a shortened version of "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow" (as it is heard in the song's video) and the previously unreleased softer "Heavy Emotion" version of that song. The format of Controlled by Hatred / Feel Like Shit… Déjà Vu has caused confusion. Although Suicidal Tendencies themselves have stated that it is either a compilation album or "the longest EP", it is still an album, making it their fourth full-length. The album is, in fact, longer than the first two Suicidal Tendencies albums. The music press had often referred to Lights...Camera...Revolution! as the follow-up to How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today. Several sources, including Encyclopaedia Metallum and Rate Your Music, have listed it as an EP or compilation album.
