Background and recording Since at least 2002, there had been speculation of a Suicidal Tendencies album featuring all-new original material. Further, there were extensive reports that many tracks had been recorded with longtime producer Paul Northfield, known for his work with progressive metal bands like Dream Theater, Queensrÿche and Rush. On September 11, 2002, Muir posted a message on the band's official website, stating that they would be in the studio "working on new ST songs", although he said the band was already in the studio before their European tour and were "really happy with the results". He also mentioned that the band would "record some new songs" before he would "go leave town on a business trip" and was hoping for an early 2003 release.http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/Blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=6042 Suicidal Tendencies Commence Work On New CD Blabbermouth.net 2002-09-12 2012-03-26 https://web.archive.org/web/20040116161133/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=6042 2004-01-16 dead In January 2003, it was reported that Suicidal Tendencies were set to enter the studio later in the month to begin work on the album.

The band explained, "Return to Venice will be released before the real new Suicidal Tendencies album." Because of Mike Muir's back status, the band decided to release the compilation first. Obviously this album will have different artwork than the "new-cover-photo-idea", which has just been sent out to the guy who's gonna finalize the cover concept. Also, Return to Venice will feature a compilation of bands attached to Suicidal Records and/or Venice and will contain no re-recordings of the classic 1985 Welcome to Venice."http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/Blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=28562 Suicidal Tendencies: New Studio CD To Come Out After 'Return To Venice' Compilation Blabbermouth.net 2004-10-30 2012-03-26 August 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes On January 16, 2006, Muir posted an update on the band's official website that Suicidal Tendencies had returned to the studio again to begin work on the album, stating that Northfield had "flown back into town" and work had "started on the new Suicidal Tendencies CD".

SUICIDAL TENDENCIES To Release '13' Album Next Month Blabbermouth.net 23 February 2013 http://blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=186646 26 March 2013 February 28, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130228034155/http://blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=186646 dead Title The album's title has various meanings. The album's title is a reference to the fact that it contains 13 songs, and that it is Suicidal Tendencies' first full-length in 13 years. Also, 13 is Suicidal Tendencies' 13th studio release (counting Controlled by Hatred/Feel Like Shit...Déjà Vu, Still Cyco After All These Years, Six the Hard Way and No Mercy Fool!/The Suicidal Family) and was released in 2013, the 13th year of the 21st century. It shares the same title as Black Sabbath's 13, which was released three months later, and Megadeth's TH1RT3EN, which was released in 2011. The title is also similar to Anvil's 2007 album This Is Thirteen. The number is also a reference to the alleged gang affiliation of the band, as "13" is heavily used in California Mexican-American Sureño gang culture. Reception AllMusic 3.5 5Thomas Fred album 13-mw0002491607 yes Allmusic review Allmusic.com April 16, 2015 Fred Thomas of AllMusic rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, and states, "Thirty years after their debut, they return with 13, their first album of new material in 13 years and coincidentally their 13th album. Produced by Suicidal frontman Mike Muir, the album includes 13 tracks of the type of petulant, cathartic, thrashy hardcore the band is known for and includes cameos by Larry Linkogle and Jimmy Fitzpatrick of Metal Mulisha as well as a gang of professional skaters adding their voices to the track "Show Some Love... Tear It Down."" 13 was Suicidal Tendencies' first album since 1994's Suicidal for Life to enter the Billboard 200; however, the album debuted at #187, making it Suicidal Tendencies' lowest chart position at the time.https://www.allmusic.com/artist/suicidal-tendencies-mn0000579839/awards Suicidal Tendencies - Charts & Awards - Billboard Albums Allmusic April 16, 2015 Track listing 58:13 Shake It Out Mike Muir, Mike Clark 3:50 Smash It!
