The Beautiful Sounds of Revenge is the second full-album by Lo-Pro, originally scheduled to be released was May 25, 2010,[3] but was delayed to June 8, 2010,[4] in order to add more songs to it.
In June 2004, the band released the following statement: As some of you seem to have heard, Lo-Pro has indeed parted ways with Geffen records.
When asked about this, lead singer Pete Murray confirmed that it was pulled off in favor of putting it on The Beautiful Sounds of Revenge.
One was a new version of "Ingenious", a song that had been debuted and streaming in demo form as far back as 2005 when they first started recording music after their first album.
The other song was a new, previously unheard track thought to be named "Waiting", although it was later turned out to be "A Life That's Just Begun".
[4] By the end of March, the first review of an advance copy of the cd surfaced, confirming a number of other songs for the album, albeit mostly in no particular order.
On May 4, the first single from the album "Alive", along with "Pushed Aside", "All I Have" and "Clean The Slate" were added to the band's Myspace player.
The New Review, gave the album at 3.5 out of 5 rating, stating "...fans who scratch their “heavy” itch with bands like Staind, Seether or Finger Eleven will embrace this release with open arms as they should.
I could definitely feel a lot of Ultraspank peeking its head into a few of these songs... Pete’s vocals are fantastic all throughout the Beautiful Sounds of Revenge.
"[15] A review from Sonic Dissonance stated "Lo-Pro's music is good, catchy, up-beat, and radio ready" and that they play "...an aggressive style with high quality melodies and biting lyrics.
"[17] A number of the songs from The Beautiful Sounds of Revenge were available in various forms of the course of the seven year development time of the album.
It was previously a song that had never been available for listening in recorded form, but had been played live in concert as far back as 2007, being confirmed by a set-list written by the band.
"Wasting Away", "Say", "Early Morning Anger", and "Novocaine" were the only songs that had never been heard previous to the album's release.
"Novocaine" was written very late in the process of making the album, so it was included at the last minute as an iTunes bonus track.
"Blame Me" and "Early Morning Anger" are both about the emotions the band felt after being dropped by Geffen Records.
[23] The song "Texas" is "sort of a fantasy about revenge...ultimately, it's about picking up and starting over and not necessarily feeling that you have to give anybody a reason.
[23] "All I Have" was inspired about a news story regarding soldiers saying goodbye to their families in order to go off to war in Iraq, and how he felt when he received an email from a friend who was about to do the same".
