"In case I make it," is the fourth studio album by American musician Will Wood, released through Say-10 on July 29, 2022. [1] It is considered by some to be a significant stylistic departure from his previous releases, with a focus on orchestral arrangements and acoustic instrumentation. [2]
Writing for Will Wood's fourth album took place between 2018 and 2022. In early 2021, he announced that the album would be funded through Indiegogo and called In Case I Die. [3] This name was replaced later in the year by "In case I make it," [4] as the former title was conceived through fear of death and intended to be his final album. [5] Wood later referred to the album as "essentially a musical suicide note". [6] Wood created demos of the album solely with MIDI, only introducing the songs to his band after completion and sharing them with orchestras and brass personnel. [5]
Prior to the album's release, Wood released the singles "Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll", [7] "Tomcat Disposables", [8] "Cicada Days", [9] "You Liked This (Okay, Computer!)", [10] "Euthanasia", and "White Noise". [11] Wood stated after the release of "In case I make it," that he would be taking an indefinite hiatus from creating music after finishing his tour, leaving some to speculate whether he would be quitting music permanently. [1] [12] [13]
Joshua Nelson of Bleeding Cool described the album as "a more subdued and mellow take on the stories and issues Will Wood typically tackles in his songwriting." [14] Caitlin Hsu of SwitchBitch Noise called Wood "the master of writing the most danceable songs with the most devastating lyrics" for his work on the album. [15] Behind the Curtains Media's Suzanne Torrison called the album "his most intricate and musically diverse album to date... in Will Wood's ever-changing and genre-bending discography." [1]

The Wall of Sound is a music production formula developed by American record producer Phil Spector at Gold Star Studios, in the 1960s, with assistance from engineer Larry Levine and the conglomerate of session musicians later known as "the Wrecking Crew". The intention was to exploit the possibilities of studio recording to create an unusually dense orchestral aesthetic that came across well through radios and jukeboxes of the era. Spector explained in 1964: "I was looking for a sound, a sound so strong that if the material was not the greatest, the sound would carry the record. It was a case of augmenting, augmenting. It all fit together like a jigsaw."

A menstrual pad is an absorbent item worn in the underwear when menstruating, bleeding after giving birth, recovering from gynecologic surgery, experiencing a miscarriage or abortion, or in any other situation where it is necessary to absorb a flow of blood from the vagina. A menstrual pad is a type of menstrual hygiene product that is worn externally, unlike tampons and menstrual cups, which are worn inside the vagina. Pads are generally changed by being stripped off the pants and panties, taking out the old pad, sticking the new one on the inside of the panties and pulling them back on. Pads are recommended to be changed every 3–4 hours to avoid certain bacteria that can fester in blood; this time also may differ depending on the kind worn, flow, and the time it is worn.
