Still Cyco Punk After All These Years is the thirteenth studio album by the American crossover thrash band Suicidal Tendencies, released on September 7, 2018. [3] This features re-recorded songs of Cyco Miko's 1996 debut album, Lost My Brain! (Once Again) ; [3] it is a near-complete re-recording, since the only tracks from the original album not included are its last two tracks "Cyco Miko Wants You" and "Ain't Mess'n Around" (the latter, however, can be found on the Get Your Fight On! EP along with "Nothin' to Lose"), while "Sippin' from the Insanitea" was previously never released. The latter uses the same basic musical structure as "Cyco Miko Wants You", but with brand new lyrics and a different vocal melody.
