One by One

October 18, 2002 · RCA

A dense, mechanical friction dominates these recordings, capturing a band attempting to outrun their own success through sheer volume.

Born from a scrapped four-month session and entirely re-recorded in a frantic ten-day stretch, the music trades the previous record's suburban ease for a desperate, melodic scream. The guitars are noticeably thicker and more punishing, pushing the meters into the red with an unvarnished, live-delivery urgency.

Moments Worth Listening For
11Come BackThe nearly eight-minute closer 'Come Back' shifts the band's usual concise songwriting into an expansive, multi-part structure with an extended atmospheric build.
06Tired of YouThe acoustic-led 'Tired of You' stands as the sole survivor of the original, discarded four-month Los Angeles recording sessions.
