}} ''The Impossibility of Reason'' is the second studio album by the American heavy metal band Chimaira, released on May 13, 2003. It is the first album to feature Matt DeVries on rhythm guitar. It debuted No. 117 on the ''Billboard'' 200 charts. To date the album has shifted around 200,000 copies in the US. A limited edition version was released in 2004, which included a bonus disc called ''Reasoning the Impossible''. The song "Army of Me" appeared on the ''Freddy vs. Jason'' soundtrack and introduces Matt DeVries as the band's new rhythm guitarist. ==Production== ''The Impossibility of Reason'' was recorded with six-string guitars in drop C tuning, a standard that future albums would follow, and deemphasizes electronic effects. Rob Arnold later explained that the higher tuning allows "much more clarity and power to the attack" in comparison to the murky drop A tuning used on ''Pass Out of Existence''.〔Holland, Brian D. (Rob Arnold Interview ) ''Modern Guitars Magazine'' (August 21, 2007). Retrieved on 12-04-10.〕 Thus, the album has been considered heavier than Chimaira's 2001 debut, yet still bears a melodic side. Vocalist Mark Hunter noted the album's musical growth and credited the influence of band's they toured with. He also elaborated that while the sampling featured in their previous album was "ear candy," it would be more focused to "enhance the music" on their 2003 effort. Chimaira would continue their progression of heaviness with future albums. In an interview, Hunter described ''The Impossibility of Reason'' and compared it with the band's prior release: :"With the new album we give the listener a feeling like they can’t breathe, the songs pound you continuous. The breakdowns in the songs don’t go all soft, but stay on the heavy level."〔Veltkamp, Frisco (Chimaira with Mark Hunter ) Rockzine.com (May 30, 2003). Retrieved on 12-04-10.〕 The production of ''The Impossibility of Reason'' was filmed and would be included on the ''Dehumanizing Process'' DVD in October 2004. 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 Impossibility of Reason」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
