''The Drug in Me Is You'' is the debut studio album by American post-hardcore band Falling in Reverse. Production for the album took place following lead singer Ronnie Radke's departure from Escape the Fate in 2008. Recording took place in December 2010 and lasted until February 2011 at Paint it Black Studios in Orlando, Florida. Michael Baskette, who worked with Radke on Escape the Fate's ''Dying is Your Latest Fashion'', returned as the executive producer for the album, alongside former bandmate Omar Espinosa and others as additional composers and production aids in the studio. ''The Drug in Me Is You'' was released on July 25, 2011, in Europe and Japan, and on July 26, 2011, in the United States. The album charted at number 19 on the US ''Billboard'' 200, selling 18,000 copies in its first week in the United States. It also charted internationally on the national album charts in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Upon release, ''The Drug in Me Is You'' received mixed reviews. Critics consistently noted the contrast between hardcore music and pop music on the tracks, but to mixed reception. Overall, the lyrics were viewed as being cliché while Radke's singing and return to making music were noted. In addition, critics focused on the bitter relationship between Radke and his former band, Escape the Fate, in which reviewers noticed the choice to attack the band in many of the album's tracks. ''The Drug in Me Is You'' was chosen by the Guitar World magazine as the album number 21 among the top 50 albums of 2011. It's the only album that features the bassist Nason Schoeffler and short-lived member Scott Gee on drums. ==Background== In 2006, Ronnie Radke was involved in an altercation in Las Vegas that resulted in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Cook, eventually leading to Radke's two-year imprisonment for parole violation. Following his incarceration and forced departure from his old band, Escape the Fate, Radke formed Falling in Reverse with the help of longtime friend Nason Schoeffler, who found band members and visited Radke while he was in prison. However, Radke was unable to work with the band prior to his release on December 12, 2010. After going through a few bassists and drummers, the band prepared to record their full-length debut album.〔 After the album finished production, bassist and founding member Nason Schoeffler and drummer Scott Gee left the band, making the album their only release with the band. Former Aiden, I Am Ghost, and The Bigger Lights drummer Ryan Seamen replaced Scott Gee and former Cellador member Mika Horiuchi took over bass for Schoeffler. Originally conceived as a double album, the band's debut was originally going to contain one disc of post-hardcore and another with Pop punk.〔〔 This was eventually scrapped in favor for a single album, soon confirmed to be titled, ''The Drug in Me Is You''. The band also confirmed that Radke's friend, Michael Baskette, who had previously worked on Blessthefall's album ''Witness'' and Escape the Fate's debut ''Dying is Your Latest Fashion'' (which was also with Radke), would produce the album. Radke announced that the album would be released in 2011 by Epitaph Records, Radke's former label with Escape the Fate. The album was slated for a July 26, 2011 release date, with pre-orders scheduled for June 7. 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「The Drug in Me Is You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
