== Background == |
|||
In April 2001 [[Superheist]]'s first full-length studio album, ''The Prize Recruit'', was released by [[Shock Records]], it peaked at No. 12 on the ARIA Albums Chart.<ref name="AusCharts"/><ref name="ARIA Report 582"/> A reviewer for ''[[Rolling Stone Australia|Rolling Stone]]'' described it as "what the new heavy breed should sound like".<ref name="ARIA Report 582"/> Theprp.com website's wookubus felt the band "continue to evolve and each facet of their aural expression has been stepped up a notch, from the more encompassing use of programming to the stronger vocal variation and sleeker song structures" with the album generally "a very lush and colorful ride that the listener can literally slip right through, with little to no snags. Sure there are a few moments where things become a little too overtly radio friendly or sound a bit commercially focused, but with the bulk of the material included representing an eclectic blend of energetic modern metal crunch, such things are easy enough to overlook".<ref name="wookubus"/> |
|||
''The Prize Recruit'' was produced by [[Kalju Tonuma]] ([[Boom Crash Opera]], [[The Mavis's]], [[Hunters & Collectors]])<ref name="Holmgren"/> and at the [[ARIA Music Awards of 2001]] he was nominated for Producer of the Year and Engineer of the Year for the album.<ref name="ARIA List"/> In March of the following year, a Shock Records representative claimed that the label had spent $250–300,000 on the album and despite sales approaching 35,000 units they were still short of covering their expenses.<ref name="Ellingsen"/> The second single from the album, "[[Bullet (Superheist song)|Bullet]]", had appeared in March 2001, which peaked at No. 45.<ref name="AMO Pivotal"/><ref name="AusCharts"/> The album's third single, "[[Step Back/Slide]]" (July), had less chart success although it reached the top 100.<ref name="ARIA Report 594"/> |
