'''''Lights... Camera... Revolution!''''' is the fifth studio album by American [[crossover thrash]] band [[Suicidal Tendencies]], released in 1990. This was the band's first release with bassist [[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]] band and moving towards a traditional [[thrash metal]] style. The song arrangements are more complex, as are the lyrics. This was also the first Suicidal Tendencies album to display [[funk]] influences, which can be attributed to the input of then-new bassist [[Robert Trujillo]].{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}

==Cover art==
The album cover was taken at the [[Vista Theatre (Los Angeles, California)|Vista Theatre]] located at 4473 Sunset Drive in [[Los Feliz, Los Angeles|Los Feliz]].<ref>{{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 }}</ref><ref>{{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}}</ref> It shows [[Mike Clark (guitarist)|Mike Clark]], R. J.

Singles from this album included "You Can't Bring Me Down", "Send Me Your Money", "Alone" and "Lovely". The video for "You Can't Bring Me Down" received much [[MTV]] airplay, and was largely responsible for the success of this album. It was certified [[Music recording sales certification|gold]] a few years later. It was also nominated for the "Best Metal Performance" [[Grammy Award]] in 1991, losing to "Stone Cold Crazy" by [[Metallica]], whom Trujillo would join in 2003. ''[[Loudwire]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>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".<ref>{{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]] |date=October 8, 2015 |accessdate=October 9, 2015}}</ref>

[[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."<ref name="AM"/> ''[[The Village Voice]]'' critic [[Robert Christgau]] noted the track "You Can't Bring Me Down" as a choice cut from the album.<ref name="christgau"/>
