Untitled

Requiem is the fifth album by Californian punk rock band Bracket, released on November 29, 2005 on Takeover Records. The album marks the longest break between the bands studio albums, with over five years separating Requiem and its predecessor, When All Else Fails.

Bracket recorded the album over the corse of two years at Trailer Park Studios, which was built by drummer Ray Castro with the help of the other band members, inside an abandon trailer.[1] Requiem would be the first album produced entirely by the band, with vocalist/guitarist Marty Gregori and guitarist Angelo Celli picking up all engineering, production and mixing credits.

Requiem consists of "Warren's Song, Pt. 10" through "Warren's Song, Pt. 26", however the tracks don't appear in succession. Despite the similar song titles, the release has been considered the most musically diverse Bracket album to date.[2] In addition to the pop punk sound the band has become known for, the album features a wide range of instrumentation, including acoustic elements and string arrangements, as well as expansive vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Beach Boys, scattered throughout.[2]
