Yeah, I know this album is bad, but at least they tried.
Here's something written by Aaron Zilch about it:
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RECORD:
So here's the deal: Several months after parting ways with American Head Charge (fall 2003) I got a call from a friend in the industry who knew I was looking for a new gig. He told me there was a band that had a deal with Lava/Atlantic and did Ozzfest and some other descent tours but their old manager was a chump and their rhythm section deserted them. They were looking for a new bassist and drummer and wanted to get an electronics/keyboard guy. The new manager was putting the band up in Vegas and keeping them fed while they worked on new material to demo for Lava. I got the first record and heard potential so I flew out to Vegas. Everyone seemed really cool and our jam sessions went well so I decided to stay. We recorded a bunch of songs for Lava but the label was in turmoil and our A&R guy left the company. Not suprisingly, we were dropped along with many many other acts. We stayed in Vegas trying to figure out the next move.
Several months later our bassist Stitch hooked us up with some radio festival gigs in CA through his old bandmate Ivan from Motograter. The next thing I know we're in the studio trying to turn the demo recordings into a record in the space of a week. Our manager had hooked up a great deal with a major box chain to put the record into stores in any region where we were active via radio or touring. He wanted to get things kicked off in CA right away, so we struggled to at least get some guitar and vocal overdubs tracked, and give it a more focused mixing, in the short amount of time available. I had no chance to fix or add anything (all my parts had been tracked out of my Mac's headphone jack, they were demos).
And btw all the electronics were done by myself (though there are some guitar parts you might think are electronics or vice versa).Toby Wright just did alternate mixes for a couple of the tracks not \"remixed\" in the NIN, Prodigy sense of the word. Though he did turn my parts up and killed the guitars in the verses of \"Fighting Me\".
