Although Suffer did not chart on the Billboard 200, it has been cited by some critics as one of the most important punk rock albums of all time.[9][10][11] A plethora of third-wave punk bands cite Suffer as a major inspiration, including NOFX's Fat Mike, who called it "the record that changed everything."[12] NOFX later referenced the album with their 2001 EP, Surfer.
The songs, "You Are (The Government)", "1000 More Fools", "How Much Is Enough?", "Land of Competition", "Best For You", "Suffer", "What Can You Do?", and "Do What You Want", are all fan favorites, and a few of those are staples of their live show. Up until 2018, the only song from Suffer that was never performed live was "Part IV (The Index Fossil)"[13] which finally received its live premiere that year at the Troubadour in West Hollywood on May 2nd.[14]
