We Are Scientists - Qualifying Miles - VINYL LP

Color-in-Color Variant. As the frontman and mastermind for A Killer's Confession, Waylon Reavis has delved into the light and dark sides of mankind on albums like The Indifference of Good Men and Unbroken. But it is his current Victim trilogy where he delves deeper into that concept and which truly lives up to the band's name. The new album Victim 2 (MNRK Heavy), the group's fi fth studio , continues the story of a serial killer who wants to bring horrifi c criminals to justice. But, as he's learning, there are consequences for his misguided deeds, even if he thinks they are the right thing to do. InchI write this stuff for people to understand that we all have these thoughts,Inch Reavis says. InchLike the devil's advocate - you've always got that devil on your shoulder, or that impulse, that little scratch on the side of your head that says, I want to do that. I've always been intrigued with that.Inch Reavis found further inspiration in the 2001 horror movie Frailty, in which the InchGod's HandInch serial killer murders people that he believes to be demons and that he is doing God's will. The antagonist of the Victim trilogy follows a similar path. In Victim 1, he went after people who had committed one of the Seven Deadly Sins, particularly those preying on young, innocent victims. In this sequel, he is reveling in his murder spree too much and faces a crisis of conscience. As in his previous band Mushroomhead, Reavis dons a mask onstage. InchIt's not just a gimmick. I'm showing you what's on the inside, but at the same time it's what the fans want from me,Inch he explains, InchI'm putting the mask on because I'm trying to explain who the character really is.Inch Victim 2 kicks off in bristling fashion with InchHopeless GreyInch and InchIn Case Of Emergency,Inch but as the story progresses the collection of songs explores di erent musical territory.

Material for Brain Thrust Mastery was debuted on an early 2007 UK tour, before the band returned to the studio with producer Ariel Rechtshaid (who would go on to win Grammys with Vampire Weekend). We Are Scientists maintain a strong sense of theatre and comedy in their live performance - at this time, the group acted as their own support, offering seminars in self improvement called 'Brain Thrust Mastery'.The album is full of well-written pop songs, rich in hooks and melody. Lead single After Hours reached No 15 in March 2008, and after the of the album the same month, it was followed by further hit singles Chick Lit and Impatience.
