The Silver Cord

Second albums will write a band's destiny, forever, in stone. Most will crumble under the pressure, and prove that only a select few become memorable. Only the special will do something that will etch themselves forever into the hearts of many- and The Classic Crime would not have it any other way. Having once again employed the services of producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Incubus, Story of the Year, Chevelle) for "The Silver Cord," he has repeated his success in delivering a sound that's raw, enigmatic, yet contemporary in its punch. The band took extra pains to record as they would have fifteen years ago, without the vocal tuning, quantizing, or sampling of today's rock records, completely performed by the band as they would play it live, many times in single takes during the recording process.
