Im not familiar with the bands drama, tension, etc? Anyone care to ellaborate?
Well, in '03 Fred Hell, their old drummer, or one of them, got shot in the head during a home invasion robbery. It took a long time for him to get better and Nick wanted to move on and make the third album, which some session guy played on I believe. Then when it came time to tour Fred just wasn't up to it is how I heard it, I dunno if he was fine and Nick just kicked him to the curb or what, but from what I understood he had a really hard time drumming after getting shot in the head.

I bought it. I like it .
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about him getting shot. Wasn't he stoppig a robbery or something like that? I remember when they where touring with social d that Nick said something about a new bass player..but i dont know the story behind that.
I know that i'm late on this topic, but I finally picked up this record this past week and i think it is good, but not great like Tiger Army III: Ghost Tigers Rise. It has a few good quality songs. it is definietly a continuation from the last record. I really like the song "Pain" a lot. Danny McGough (of Social Distortion!) did a really great job on the B-3 organ and I saw that Chopper Donny helped out as well... It's great to see that the Social D. Camp can help out other great bands too!

Overall, I like tke album quite a bit, but there are some songs that are weaker than others, and I would put TA III just ahead of this one.
from what i heard nick kicked fred out the band and geoff thought it was fucked up and quit.. last i heard/saw of fred was he was working in the back room of amoeba records in LA.. he and geoff were suppose to start something but Geoff got picked up by horrorpops and that was the end of that..
Tiger Army will be performing on the Jimmy Kimmel Show tonight.
Thanks for the head's up DAS...Tivo's a wonderful thing.
For what its worth....picked up the new album about a week ago...took a while, but its grown on me.
