Camera... Revolution!''''' is the fifth studio album by American [crossover thrash](/source/crossover_thrash) band [Suicidal Tendencies](/source/Suicidal_Tendencies), released in 1990. This was the band's first release with bassist [Robert Trujillo](/source/Robert_Trujillo) and their last studio album with drummer R.J. Herrera. ==Music and lyrics== This album shows the band straying further away from their roots as a [crossover thrash](/source/crossover_thrash) band and moving towards a traditional [thrash metal](/source/thrash_metal) style. The song arrangements are more complex, as are the lyrics. This was also the first Suicidal Tendencies album to display [funk](/source/funk) influences, which can be attributed to the input of then-new bassist [Robert Trujillo](/source/Robert_Trujillo).{{citation needed|date=March 2020}} ==Cover art== The album cover was taken at the [Vista Theatre](/source/Vista_Theatre_(Los_Angeles%2C_California)) located at 4473 Sunset Drive in [Los Feliz](/source/Los_Feliz%2C_Los_Angeles).{{cite web|title=Lights...Camera...Revolution! |url=http://www.rockandrollroadmap.com/places/album-cover-locations/los-angeles-area/vista-theater |publisher=Rock & Roll Roadmaps |accessdate=February 24, 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140303044623/http://www.rockandrollroadmap.com/places/album-cover-locations/los-angeles-area/vista-theater |archivedate=March 3, 2014 }}{{cite web|title=ST no cinema|url=http://stillcyco.wordpress.com/2009/10/05/st-no-cinema/|publisher=stillcyco.wordpress.com|accessdate=February 24, 2014|date=October 5, 2009}} It shows [Mike Clark](/source/Mike_Clark_(guitarist)), R. J.

The video for "You Can't Bring Me Down" received much [MTV](/source/MTV) airplay, and was largely responsible for the success of this album. It was certified [gold](/source/Music_recording_sales_certification) a few years later. It was also nominated for the "Best Metal Performance" [Grammy Award](/source/Grammy_Award) in 1991, losing to "Stone Cold Crazy" by [Metallica](/source/Metallica), whom Trujillo would join in 2003. ''[Loudwire](/source/Loudwire)'''s Eduardo Rivadavia later ranked ''Lights... Camera... Revolution!'' at number eight on their top ten list of "Thrash Albums NOT Released by the Big 4".{{cite web|url=http://loudwire.com/top-10-thrash-albums-not-released-by-the-big-4/ |title=Top 10 Thrash Albums NOT Released by the Big 4 |publisher=[Loudwire](/source/Loudwire) |date=October 8, 2015 |accessdate=October 9, 2015}} [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)'s Alex Henderson described the record as "one of its [the band's] best albums ever" and "a disc that no Suicidal fan should be without," further writing: "Not since the mid-'80s had the L.A. band sounded this confident, focused and inspired." ''[The Village Voice](/source/The_Village_Voice)'' critic [Robert Christgau](/source/Robert_Christgau) noted the track "You Can't Bring Me Down" as a choice cut from the album. ==Track listing== {{tracklist | title1 = [You Can't Bring Me Down](/source/You_Can't_Bring_Me_Down) | writer1 = [Mike Muir](/source/Mike_Muir), [Rocky George](/source/Rocky_George) | length1 = 5:50 | title2 = Lost Again | writer2 = Muir, George | length2 = 5:16 | title3 = Alone | writer3 = Muir, [Mike Clark](/source/Mike_Clark_(guitarist)) | length3 = 4:24 | title4 = Lovely | writer4 = Muir, Clark, [Robert Trujillo](/source/Robert_Trujillo) | length4 = 3:45 | title5 = Give It Revolution | writer5 = Muir, Clark, R.
