Contents

A joke rap song, "We're Smoking The Herb Again", was recorded by the band and is a hidden track after "Pardon Me". [2]

Reception

AllMusic awarded the EP three out of five stars, with their review stating, "part of Incubus's charm lies in its eclectic production touches, so it's heartening to hear that these songs stand up quite well even when stripped of zippy electronics and gut-wrenching riffs." [1]

<i>Ghost Stories</i> (The Lawrence Arms album) 2000 studio album by The Lawrence Arms

Ghost Stories is a punk rock album by the Chicago, Illinois band The Lawrence Arms, released in 2000 by Asian Man Records. It was the band's second full-length album. With this release the band moved away from the political nature of some of their previous songs in favor of more introspective lyrics. Also, while singer/bassist Brendan Kelly had handled the majority of lead vocals on their previous album A Guided Tour of Chicago, on this album he and singer/guitarist Chris McCaughan split vocal duties almost equally. This singing style would continue throughout their next several albums, and eventually the two would begin to share lead vocals in an almost duet style on Oh Calcutta! It also features the only Lawrence Arms song written and sung by drummer Neil Hennessy, "106 South". The album was recorded at Scientific Studios in December 1999 by Mike Giampa. All of the drums were triggered, and the bass was recorded through a SansAmp. Accompanied by a heavily distorted guitar, this resulted in a very raw sounding album. It's loved by hardcore fans for its dark tones and lyrical themes. Brendan Kelly has stated that this is his second least favorite Lawrence Arms album, but called the cover his favorite. The album was released on vinyl for the first time in 2009 on Asian Man Records, with all new artwork.
