The American Way is the second studio album by American thrash metal band Sacred Reich, released on May 15, 1990 by Metal Blade Records. The video for "The American Way" was used in the 1992 film Encino Man.

Overview

Although the band had maintained a record of at least one release per year since their debut, Ignorance, this was their first full-length album for three years and also the first to show a musical progression from the all-out thrash metal which dominated their earlier material. Phil Rind, in the liner notes, explains the band's change in musical direction thus:

"Musically, we've tried to expand our horizons without forgetting our roots. Some people will appreciate the changes. Others, let's just say, they'd be satisfied with 'Ignorance II'"

The last track "31 Flavors" is a funk song.[2]
