The Suicide Machines' 1998 album Battle Hymns is a fast-paced, energetic punk rock masterpiece that will leave listeners breathless. The band's signature blend of ska, punk, and hardcore is on full display in this album, with each track delivering a punchy, hard-hitting sound that is impossible to resist. From the opening track "New Girl" to the closing song "The Vans Song," Battle Hymns is a non-stop thrill ride that will keep listeners engaged and entertained from start to finish.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "S.O.S.," a catchy and upbeat song that showcases the band's ability to write infectious hooks and memorable choruses. Other highlights include "Hating Hate," a blistering punk rock anthem that addresses issues of racism and prejudice, and "Give," a ska-infused track that features a driving rhythm section and catchy horn lines.
