Still Cyco After All These Years is a 1993 re-recording of Suicidal Tendencies' debut album, Suicidal Tendencies but contains 3 additional tracks ("War Inside My Head", "Don't Give Me Your Nothin'", and "A Little Each Day").

The album was actually recorded during the Lights...Camera...Revolution! sessions. Muir was upset that the original album, which is often considered a landmark hardcore album, was out of print at the time. Instead of reissuing the album, he decided to re-record it.

With the exception of Muir, the lineup that recorded Still Cyco is completely different from the lineup that recorded the original album. Therefore there are some obvious sound differences. The current band members are definitely more technically proficient than the original band, therefore the overall sound is much tighter and lines less sloppy. Muirs voice has also changed, as he at this point has a more pure style of singing as opposed to the screaming/ranting style of the original album. Many fans liked this version of the album but thought it was less "genuine", as many of the songs on the album relied on youthful angst better exemplified by the younger band that Suicidal was in 1983 as opposed 1993.

Singles were released for "Institutionalized" and "I Saw Your Mommy". In addition to being a re-recording of the original album, this album also features re-recorded versions of "A Little Each Day" and "War Inside My Head" from Join the Army as well as a brand new track, "Don't Give Me Your Nothin'"
