This revisitation isn't a remaster or a cash-in; it's a genuine second draft, a songwriter returning to the scene with clearer eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable as a gatefold 2xLP \/ CD with new artwork on October 16th: Car Seat Headrest's Will Toledo re-imagines the band's breakout on Teen of Denial: Joe's Story. On the original record, Toledo used the name \"Joe\" as a stand-in for himself. Revisiting Teens in the run-up to it's 10th year, he felt compelled to give Joe a backstory and began tweaking the album to tell that tale. \"The resulting work feels more like the album Teens of Denial was meant to be,\" Will Toledo writes in a new message to fans. \"When you're writing from a dark space, it's hard to have perspective on where you're at. This time, I could pull from memories of that darkness, and use the distance and additional perspective of ten years of life to shed a fuller light on the experience. Joe is a character going through some of what I experienced, and some of his own problems.\"Early this year, the group returned to the studio with producer Steve Fisk to update accordingly -tweaking lyrics and recording new tunes in the \"Denial-style,\" including the optimistic and anthemic \"Joe Drives Again.\" The result retains Teens's dark edge and youthful cynicism, but promises a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Toledo writes, \"I'm so grateful that this is a work that people have kept coming to, and I hope that this presentation does them honor with a fresh offering to the conversation. We've known that \"it doesn't have to be like this\"; now we can wonder - \"'what it if were like this?'\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Fill In The Blank (4:10)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Vincent (7:44)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Destroyed By Hippie Powers (5:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. (Joe Gets Kicked Out Of School For Using) Drugs With Friends (But Says This Isn't A Problem) (5:36)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Optimistic Son (3:39)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Drunk Drivers\/Killer Whales (6:10)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. 1937 State Park (4:02)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Joe Drives Again (4:06)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Cosmic Hero (8:29)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e10. The Ravenous House (11:31)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e11. Connect The Dots (Song Of Secretariat) (6:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e12. Joe Goes To School (1:19)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 191401224727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matador Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.16.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43053286424651,"sku":"191885657","price":34.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/packshot-car-seat-headrest-teen-of-denial-joe-s-story-cd-relix.jpg?v=1787174007","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/car-seat-headrest-teen-of-denial-joes-story-cd","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
