}} ''The Gray Race'' is the ninth full-length album of the punk rock band Bad Religion, which was released in 1996. It was the follow-up to the band's highly successful 1994 album ''Stranger Than Fiction''. This was the band's first album not recorded with original guitarist Brett Gurewitz (since the 1985 EP ''Back to the Known'') and is their first release with Brian Baker, who replaced him during the ''Stranger Than Fiction'' tour. It was also the first album since ''How Could Hell Be Any Worse?'' that the band recorded as a group. Part of the reason for this was financial, but frontman Greg Graffin also wanted to foster a sense of unity following Gurewitz's jarring departure. This was also the first album with which Graffin solicited the opinions of other band members before recording. Graffin said that collaboration significantly improved the sound and quality of the album. Some songs on the album are considered fan favorites, such as, "Them And Us", "A Walk", "Punk Rock Song", "Spirit Shine", Ten In 2010", "Come Join Us", and "Cease". Although not as successful as ''Stranger Than Fiction'', ''The Gray Race'' achieved modest success when MTV ran a commercial for the album during its release. The album was re-released by Epitaph Records on September 15, 2008. ==Production and marketing== After the 10-month ''Stranger Than Fiction'' tour, frontman Graffin soon began writing songs for ''Stranger Than Fictions follow-up. The band recorded it at Electric Lady Studios, New York City, New York with producer Ric Ocasek (of The Cars, Bad Brains and Weezer fame). The recording lasted throughout much of October and November 1995. 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 Gray Race」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
