''The Bunny The Bear'' is the eponymous debut album by experimental post-hardcore band The Bunny the Bear, self-released on February 4, 2010. The album's only single, "April 11" was released with an accompanying music video on June 8, 2010. The single's video was produced by Six Year Productions, an independent production company. The album featured Matt's early vocal style, which was more of a standard scream/growl-technique, before he developed more of yell-type vocals as heard on the later albums. The album is also one of the few to feature screamed vocals from the clean vocalist Chris Hutka, as heard sparsely on tracks such as April 11th. Although Chris openly stated that he disliked screaming and would rather do without it. The album was released in 2010. However, much of the material was written and changed over the span of 2 years, since the band started in 2008. Many themes of the songs are written when Matt was dealing with relationship problems due to his significant other cheating on him multiple times, resulting in very heartfelt lyrics in the last 3 songs on the album. Four of the album's tracks have been re-recorded for future The Bunny The Bear albums. "Prelude to Pregnancy" and "Lust Touch Seed" were re-recorded for the band's following album and major label debut, ''If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say''. "Flying Like a Bird" was re-recorded for the band's fifth album ''Food Chain'', and "What Shade We Make" was re-recorded for the band's ''Acoustic EP''. The two instrumental songs have a hidden meaning to them. The first, "I.W.N.F.Y" stands for 'I will not forget you' which can be heard in slow motion throughout the song. The second, "It's Only Another Interlude!" is based on the cycle of marriage: The calm pianos in the beginning represent ceremony, than the cricket noises come in to represent nighttime, as you can also hear a woman moaning which indicates the intimacy after marriage. After, you hear a baby crying which signifies birth of a child, and the coughing of the mother which explains the inevitable onset of sickness during progression to old age. We then hear a some metal-clashing noises along with a very abrupt explosion that represents pain and eventyally death at the end of the couple's lifelong bond. Matt explained this idea to a group of fans after a show in Buffalo, likely as a result from excessive drinking that night. Overall, the album started off strong and energetic with the first song "Prelude to Pregnancy," and gradually ended on a emotional note with the last song being the very thoughtful "Conscience As Collateral." This self-released CD still holds a close place to the hearts of many early "TBTB" fans, unfortunately, it seems that a re-release in the near future is extremely unlikely. The album was the band's only self-released effort, before being signed to Victory Records in early 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Bunny The Bear - Victory Records )〕 ==Track listing== 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 Bunny The Bear (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
