Next album = "Bad Luck (Trophy Scars) Trophy Scars ' "Alphabet. Alphabets." was released onJune 13, 2006 . This LP was their second release on "The Death Scene". It is Trophy Scars' second album.The theme of the album is the letter "A". With the exception of "Yes", "No", ""A Song Begins With "A." Almost All These Songs Begin With "A."", all the titles of songs are a word or phrase that begins with the letter
A , followed by a period, the plural of that word or phrase, and another period. In an interview onMay 25, 2007 , singer-songwriter Jerry Jones and Guitarist AJ Hanson spoke to AbsolutePunk.net's Louise Heng about the band. When asked about the reason behind the "A" theme, Jerry Jones replied:cquote|When John and I started the "Alphabet blueprints" we decided to make a record that was going to be both musically and lyrically eclectic. At the same time we wanted to create a cohesive and wholesome listen. I did indeed adopt Nathaniel Hawthorne's motif for his book The Scarlet Letter. The book's heroine, Hester Pryne, bears the "Ambiguous", "Allegorical" letter "A" on her chest. (For people who've read the book, it's clear what the "A" indicates.)
It's the foundation of our Alphabet. We use our Alphabet to translate language into script and to phonetically communicate. It's so basic but it holds keys to a vast range of emotion and ideas. This is reflected in the plethora of music styles incorporated in Alphabets. Doomed romance and poor timing plague the record's backdrop but it actually deals with many facets of my own neuroticism.
