}} ''The Inevitability of a Strange World'' is Halifax's third release, issued on May 23, 2006 by Drive-Thru Records. The album had sold 34,795 copies , peaking at #130 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and at #1 on ''Billboard's'' Top Heatseekers chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Soundscan Results: October 1st, 2006 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Halifax Chart Position )〕 Its first single (and only ) was "Our Revolution". Produced by Lou Giordano, the album was originally planned to be released on August 9, 2005, but Drive-Thru Records asked the band to record four more songs with record producer Machine ("Our Revolution", "Hey Italy", "Such a Terrible Trend", and "I Told You So"). The release was then rescheduled for February 14, 2006, but delayed again for distribution issues. On February 7, 2006, however, a three-song sampler containing "Nightmare", "Under Fire", and "Anthem for Tonight" was made available for online purchase and at the band's concerts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Halifax CD Preview and Tour )〕 Bassist Doug Peyton joined Halifax in-between the two recording sessions, hence singer Mike Hunau played bass on the Giordano-produced tracks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview With Halifax )〕 Guest musicians on the CD include guitarist Paul Nelson (performing a solo on "Anthem for Tonight"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paul Nelson - Guest Spot )〕) and Tourmaline's keyboardist Corey Zaloom. The Japanese version of the album, released on May 17, 2006 through In-n-Out Records, features a bonus track titled "Obsession". The song first appeared as "Because Pillows Are for Sleeping" in an interview with video podcasting group DMZ on December 10, 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=mefeedia videoblogging directory: DMZ )〕 The album is named after a book Moberg was supposedly writing, in Hunter S. Thompson's novel 'The Rum Diary'. The album's cover and inlay artwork bears resemblance to that of Finch's ''Say Hello to Sunshine'' (2005), as both were created by Californian illustrator Jeff Soto. ==Track listing== (all songs written by Halifax) # "Nightmare" – 3:52 # "Our Revolution" – 3:08 # "Under Fire" – 3:02 # "Anthem for Tonight" – 3:44 # "Hey Italy" – 3:14 # "Snow in Hollywood" – 3:47 # "Such a Terrible Trend" – 4:14 # "Better Than Sex" – 3:48 # "Giant in the Ring" – 3:51 # "Promise Me Tragedy" – 3:15 # "A Tint of Rain" – 4:04 # "I Told You So" – 3:29 # "Murder I Wrote" – 5:50 # "Obsession" – 3:41 (Japanese bonus track) 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 Inevitability of a Strange World」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
