Benefits of Thinking Out Loud,released in 2001 through Tank Records,is the second full-length release from the Massachusetts based melodic hardcore band now known as A Wilhelm Scream.
Originally recorded and released through Tank Records in 2001 under their at the time current name,Smackin' Isaiah. Oddly enough,the album was sold in DVD covers,not regular CD covers. The record has been described by the band to be their first serious approach.
The band promoted the album with a handful of shows as part of the Warped Tour,which were bookended by headlining shows in June and July 2002. [1] After signing with Jump Start Records in 2002,the new label reissued the album twice,first in 2002 and again in 2003. The first reissue was done under the name Smackin' Isaiah,in promotion of their signing,whilst the second under A Wilhelm Scream,promoting their name change. The 2003 reissue sold better than expected,leading to a repressing in 2004.
The album artwork for the original and first reissue are identical,whilst the second reissue,though being very similar,has some alterations. The first obviously being which band name is featured (Smackin' Isaiah on the original release and first reissue,A Wilhelm Scream on the second),followed by location of the album title (centered over the band name on the original release and first reissue and right under the band name on the second) and then location of the hangman (hanging from the second 'I' in Isaiah on the original release and first reissue and from the "I" in Wilhelm on the second). There has also been observed a third version of the album art,where the hangman hangs from the "M" in Wilhelm and the album title is left under the band name,however this has been confirmed by Jeremy Myers of Jump Start Records to only have been used for promotion and sales before the release of the second reissue. Before being sent off for print,the cover was changed in the way of the second reissue and has therefore never been printed. Additionally,photos and credits for John Carvalho were removed from the liner notes after the first pressing.
Lyrics by Trevor Reilly,with the exceptions of #3 by Reilly and Nuno Pereira,#8 by Reilly,Pereira and Jonathan Teves,#9 by Teves and #11 by Nicholas Pasquale Angelini. Music by A Wilhelm Scream.

War is an American funk/rock/soul band from Long Beach, California, known for several hit songs . Formed in 1969, War is a musical crossover band that fuses elements of rock, funk, jazz, Latin, rhythm and blues, psychedelia, and reggae. According to music writer Colin Larkin, their "potent fusion of funk, R&B, rock and Latin styles produced a progressive soul sound", while Martin C. Strong calls them "one of the fiercest progressive soul combos of the '70s". Their album The World Is a Ghetto was Billboard's best-selling album of 1973. The band transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic line-up. War was subject to many line-up changes over the course of its existence, leaving member Leroy "Lonnie" Jordan as the only original member in the current line-up; four other members created a new group called the Lowrider Band.
Extreme is an American rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1985, that reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original lineup Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary, and Pat Badger. With the exclusion of Geary, the lineup has remained unchanged. Their current drummer is Kevin Figueiredo.

A Wilhelm Scream is a melodic hardcore band from New Bedford, Massachusetts formed in 2003. Their music has been compared to Strung Out, Hot Water Music, Propagandhi, and Strike Anywhere as the band's similar artists. Their name is a reference to the Wilhelm scream, a famous stock sound effect mainly used in films. The band previously went by the names Koen, Adam's Crack, and Smackin' Isaiah, though the last was the only name to be used in any major releases. "The reason for the name changes from Koen to Smackin' Isaiah, then to A Wilhelm Scream was really a matter of them adding new members, and progressing/maturing as a band".

The album took eight months to complete, a change from Noble Savage which was recorded in only a few weeks, and was finally released in October 1988. It received scarce promotion and distribution by their small label, resulting in very low sales. The songs of this album follow in style and content the music of the previous album Noble Savage, adding a more polished sound and production. At the time of release, the band faced legal and financial setbacks that brought to the unofficial disbandment of Virgin Steele. Joe O'Reilly, although credited for playing bass on the album, was ill at the time of recording and was ghosted by DeFeis and Pursino.
