The Gold Record

Untitled

The Gold Record is the title of The Bouncing Souls' seventh full-length album. It was released on June 6, 2006, which the band deemed 'the number of the release', and also deemed the album 'the release of the beast'. This is in reference to it's release date (6/6/06) and the number of the beast (666).

The album includes two covers, of "Lean on Sheena" by Avoid One Thing and "Better Things" by The Kinks. "Letter from Iraq" is based around a poem sent to the band by Garett Reppenhagen, a soldier serving in Iraq.

The track listing below is as listed on the CD case. However it appears that "Letter From Iraq" and "The New Thing" are the other way around on the CD itself, despite being listed in this order on the CD case.
