World of Noise is the debut album recorded by American rock band Everclear.

For an amp, Alexakis used a Fender Super Twin with a blown 6L6 tube that would squeal every time Art hit a chord.

Despite the problems, Alexakis' amp ended up giving the album a uniquely raucous, noisy sound.

When the band signed with Capitol Records in 1994, the label agreed to re-release the album, and remastered it to try to improve the sound.

The song "Loser Makes Good" was written about an insane homeless man that shot and killed Art's friend, Phillip Bury, better known by his stage name "Buck Naked" of "Buck Naked and the Barebottom Boys", who released their only album on Alexakis's label, Shindig Records.
