About
The Public Record:
To
call A Public Disservice Announcement an album
with mass appeal doesn’t quite do it justice.
The new album from Tommy Lee’s newly re-formed
Methods of Mayhem isn’t just a record that’s
written for the people, it was quite literally
written by the people. Using the website The Public
Record, an interactive music community site conceived
of by producer Scott Humphrey where people can
share their song ideas and collaborate with one
another online, the band worked with fans to write
the album, submitting the basic framework of a
song and allowing anyone who wanted to the opportunity
to add his or her ideas to the song. After choosing
the best ideas from over 10,000 submissions (and
giving the fans credit where credit was due),
and adding guest spots from artists like Chino
Moreno (Deftones), Deryck Whibley (Sum 41), and
Chad Kroeger (Nickelback), A Public Disservice
Announcement was born. The album spans a vast
array of genres, covering rap-rock (“Drunk
Uncle Pete”), nu metal ("Fight Song”),
and dance-rock (“All I Wanna Do”).
It’s good to see Lee changing with the times
and branching away from the sound of the platinum-selling
Methods of Mayhem, letting fans breathe easily
knowing that while the album may sound like many
things, it doesn’t sound like rap-metal
circa 1999. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi
According
to Lee, there are about 50 guest submissions on
the final album.
Commented
Lee: "I'm so f@&*ing pumped!! I've signed
with my friends at Roadrunner... What a perfect
home for my second METHODS OF MAYHEM record. We're
about to do what no team has ever done before...
Buckle up and hang on, kids!"
In
a recent interview with TuneLab.com, drummer Will
Hunt (EVANESCENCE, STATIC-X, DARK NEW DAY, TOMMY
LEE) — who played on the new METHODS OF
MAYHEM CD — stated about the album, "People
are gonna be very surprised when they hear that
record. It's very different than anything [Tommy's]
done. It's still very cool, there's some very
melodic, commercial stuff on it, but the bulk
of the record is very heavy, grungy, DEFTONES-sounding
stuff. And it's just really cool."
Lee
formed METHODS OF MAYHEM in 1999 after he left
MÖTLEY CRÜE. The all-star project collaboration
with rapper TiLo featured input from LIMP BIZKIT's
Fred Durst, THE CRYSTAL METHOD, Kid Rock, Snoop
Dogg, and Mix Master Mike. After signing to MCA,
METHODS OF MAYHEM issued its self-titled debut
LP in late 1999.
