}} ''Carver City'' is the fourth and latest studio album by American heavy metal band CKY. Recorded mainly at guitarist and producer Chad I Ginsburg's Studio CIG Pennsylvania in New Hope, Pennsylvania, it was released on May 15, 2009 by Roadrunner Records. The album reached number 46 on the US ''Billboard'' 200, number four on the Hard Rock Albums chart, and number 14 on the Rock Albums chart. Written by vocalist and guitarist Deron Miller with Ginsburg, ''Carver City'' is often considered a concept album about the fictional titular town, which is said to be a holiday resort plagued by crime, and has been compared to the band's own fictional storyline of "Hellview". It is the only CKY album to feature bassist Matt Deis, who joined the band shortly after the release of 2005's ''An Answer Can Be Found''. The writing and recording of the album took over two years to complete, with internal tensions between band members slowing progress at various points in the process. ''Carver City'' was a success both commercially and critically, with reviewers praising the high production values and experimental nature of the songs on the album. "Hellions on Parade" and "A#1 Roller Rager" were released as singles. ==Recording and production== Most of the recording for ''Carver City'' took place at guitarist and producer Chad I Ginsburg's Studio CIG Pennsylvania in New Hope, Pennsylvania, with additional parts recorded at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania and 4th Street Recording in Santa Monica, California. The album was mixed at Studio 4 and Studio CIG by Ginsburg and Phil Nicolo, and mastered at Masterdisk in New York City by Howie Weinberg.〔 According to the album's liner notes, recording started in January 2007 and was completed by December 2008.〔 The production of ''Carver City'' was plagued by a number of problems, including disagreements between band members. In October 2007, Ginsburg claimed that Miller had left the band after it was reported that a "physical altercation" had broken about. Miller explained that he had confronted Ginsburg and Margera after he heard them say some "extremely personal, painful things" about him, and that he was considering returning to the group after dealing with his increasing problems with alcohol abuse.〔 After almost a year of inactivity, it was reported in October 2008 that CKY was back together, with Miller claiming that the band was "98% done tracking" ''Carver City''. Miller reflected on the production process of the album prior to its release, stating that "Sobriety, hard work, patching up inner turmoil and a love for what we do has undoubtedly made this the most collaborative and focused CKY effort to date". He attributed many of the problems to "alcohol and shit talking" and explained that much of the album was recorded by individual band members in isolation, with the group sharing recordings by email. "Hellions on Parade" was originally titled "Hellview III: Hellions on Parade", "Karmaworks" was originally known as "Karma Works Its Way", "Stripped Your Speech" was originally named "Underappreciated", and other track titles included "Making Contact" and "There's Two of Me". In a 2015 interview, Miller claimed that he and Ginsburg began working on an early version of "Afterworld" during sessions for ''Carver City'', but didn't complete the track in time. Additionally, he claimed that bassist Matt Deis wrote at least one song for the album, but that Ginsburg opposed its inclusion as he had not contributed a song as well.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carver City (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
