Metafiction (album)

Untitled

Metafiction is an album composed, arranged, and produced by Vic Mignogna. While the album mostly contained Adult Contemporary ballads, like Vic's previous album "If These Walls Could Talk," it also had more diverse sounds and styles. "Nothing I Won't Give" and "Far From Home" have a more Hard Rock sound than many of Vic's other songs; "Does Anyone Know" uses Auto-Tune to create a more New Wave-influenced sound; "Chance" uses saxophones; and "At Calvary" and "Flying by Faith" are Contemporary Christian Music-styled songs.

Trivia

• "The Legend of Middle Tennessee" was inspired from a dodgeball match that took place between Mignogna and Travis Willingham's fangroups, the Risembool Rangers and the Miniskirt Army, respectively, at the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention. The Rangers ended up winning the match. Mignogna has also announced debuting a music video for the song at Sakuracon 2007.
• "Nothing I Won't Give" was written by Mignogna and remixed by a fan. It was inspired and based on the anime he starred in, Fullmetal Alchemist, in which he plays Edward Elric. Mignogna claims in the liner notes that he wanted to write a song in the style of Evanescence.
• "Soldier A" is a tribute to the various bit characters voice actors are asked to play. According to Mignogna, the song was created due to a song he came up with while providing the voice for one of these "Soldier A's". He came up with a small part of the song, then was called back by the studio to finish the song, because the producers "Couldn't get it out of their heads."
• The song "Chance" has been referred to as Zero Kiryu's character song, but it was not originally intended to be such.
