Back from Samoa is the debut full-length album by the American punk rock band Angry Samoans.
When they began to play in the emerging suburban hardcore scene, with bands such as Suicidal Tendencies, they sped up their own songs accordingly.
"[8] Trouser Press wrote that "the brief, well-played songs on Back From Samoa have cool titles ... but the lyrics are rarely as clever.
"[10] The Spin Alternative Record Guide wrote that "the extremism of this viciously witty, explosive thrash is compelling, perhaps because it's rooted in self-hatred.
The back cover features a photo of the band, with vocalist Mike Saunders wearing a "Fried Abortions" t-shirt, which was the name of a musical side-project he was a member of.
