''The Beautiful Sounds of Revenge'' is the second full-album by Lo-Pro, originally scheduled to be released was May 25, 2010,〔"(Lo-pro - The Beautiful Sounds Of Revenge Coming May 25th )" ''Melodic.net.'' March 9, 2010.〕 but was delayed to June 8, 2010,〔"(Lo-Pro Delay New Album To June )" ''ThePRP.com.'' March 22, 2010.〕 in order to add more songs to it.〔Harris, Rob "Bubbs": "(nterview With Pete Murray of Lo Pro )" ''MetalExiles.'' Retrieved Jun 26, 2010.〕 It is their third formal release of music, after their self-titled release in 2003 and the ''Letting Go EP'' in 2009. The album is described by leader singer and songwriter Pete Murray as "a diary of the Lo-Pro experience" over the course of the seven years it took to make the album.〔 The album's only single was "Alive". ==History== The band released their first, self-titled album in 2003, and then toured in support of it during the first half of 2004, until Geffen dropped them from their label. In June 2004, the band released the following statement: As some of you seem to have heard, Lo-Pro has indeed parted ways with Geffen records. Were still a part of the 413/records family however, and were alive and kicking. Weve been using our down time to write record #2 which were really excited about and think youll be very happy with as well. I dont want to give too much away, but its shaping up to be a very "live" record. The band then continued to work on music from 2005 through 2009, occasionally streaming a song or two they were working on from their Myspace account. Many plans, such as a live DVD or an acoustic cd were considered,〔"(Lo-Pro Post New Track )" ''Tunelab.com.'' Aug 8, 2008.〕 but ultimately dropped for the time being. The band did have music they intended to release around 2008, but they ended up feeling like what they had at the time was more like a demo than a finished product, and decided to expand the material more in the sessions done later with Angus Cooke, which would be worked into the final released material.〔Markunas, Jim: "(Lo-Pro - Interview with Pete Murray )" ''CWG Magazine.com.'' Apr 16, 2010.〕 Eventually, the music was used for 2 releases. The first release was the ''Letting Go EP'' which contained 6 songs and was sold in hard copy form at concerts starting July 2009, and released digitally in October 2009 to "tide fans over". The second release was a full-length album, ''The Beautiful Sounds of Revenge'', which contained 5 of the EP songs (the track "Today" didn't make it) and 10 new tracks, some had been made available in various forms by streaming over the internet or in live performances over the years, others being previously unheard. Lead singer Pete Murray, in December 2009, reported via his Twitter account that he was listening to the album masters, hinting that the album was done or very close to it. In mid-February their official website read "Almost There. Almost"〔 and then in early March its release date of May 25, 2010 was announced. However, Lo-Pro's official site changed from showing the date "5.25.10" to "6.08.2010", hinting that the release date has changed.〔 Shortly after this, it was confirmed to be delayed to June 8, 2010.〔"(LO-PRO: New Album Pushed Back To June )" ''Blabbermouth.net.'' Mar 23, 2010.〕 An interview with Pete Murray confirmed that the delay was to add more music to the album, and that it would contain 15 tracks,〔 14 standard songs and 1 bonus track. The two additional songs were eventually revealed to be "Pushed Aside" and "Novocaine". The first song that had been confirmed for the album was titled "Alive". This song was on the physical version of the bands ''Letting Go EP'' that was sold exclusively on their summer 2009 tours, but was later left off the digital distribution version later sold on iTunes in October 2009. When asked about this, lead singer Pete Murray confirmed that it was pulled off in favor of putting it on The Beautiful Sounds of Revenge. Eventually, five of the six tracks from the ''Letting Go EP'' actually ended up on the album. (Only "Today" is not on the album.) On December 31, 2009, the band posted a video that contained 2 songs also to be on the upcoming LP. One was a new version of "Ingenious", a song that had been debuted and streaming in demo form as far back as 2005 when they first started recording music after their first album. The other song was a new, previously unheard track thought to be named "Waiting", although it was later turned out to be "A Life That's Just Begun".〔http://www.youtube.com/user/lopromusic#p/a/u/0/lDrEhMSdyRI 〕 The video was taken down a few days later. On March 8, 2010, it was announced that "Alive" would be the first single off the album. It was originally supposed to be hitting radio stations March 30, 2010.〔"(LO-PRO To Release New Album In May )" ''Blabbermouth.net.'' March 9, 2010.〕 However, with the delay of the album to June 8, the single release was also delayed, to May 4, the same time the official track list for the album was set to be revealed.〔 By the end of March, the first review of an advance copy of the cd surfaced, confirming a number of other songs for the album, albeit mostly in no particular order.〔"(Lo Pro – The Beautiful Sounds Of Revenge – Rocket Science review by Jeffrey Easton )" ''MetalExiles.'' Retrieved Jun 26, 2010.〕 While quite early for an advance copy to be reviewed, it was mentioned by Pete Murray, confirming it legitimate. Later reviews would confirm the majority of the track list. On May 4, the first single from the album "Alive", along with "Pushed Aside", "All I Have" and "Clean The Slate" were added to the band's Myspace player. The album was released as planned on June 8, 2010. 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 Beautiful Sounds of Revenge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
