After the release of the EP Back to the Known (1985), the band set some time apart to rest. Later, the original members got back together and went to work on its first full-length studio album in five years.
Similar to their next album No Control (1989), many people consider Suffer to be one of the best punk albums of the 1980s. The album became Epitaph's best-selling album for a number of years, until the release of The Offspring's popular Smash album in 1994. A large number of third-wave punk bands cite this album as a big influence on their work. NOFX's Fat Mike has called it "the record that changed everything."
