They Liked You Better When You Were Dead专辑介绍
They Liked You Better When You Were Dead is the debut extended play (EP) from English post-hardcore band Fightstar, released February 28, 2005 on Sandwich Leg Records. It was later also released on April 12, 2006 through Deep Elm Records in North America.
The release proved a critical success, in spite of the cynics' initial expectations of the band. It has been said that the EP helped "present Fightstar as a British rival to the East Coast alternative rock scene".
Alex Westaway, the bands lead guitarist and co-songwriter drew the artwork based on Edward Norton for the inlay of the booklet, as the record was inspired by author Chuck Palahniuk and the motion picture Fight Club.
Being an extended play and containing in excess of 3 tracks (it in fact contained 6 tracks, the sixth being a hidden track), it was ineligible for the UK Chart. The release proved popular enough to warrant a reprinting on March 23, 2005. First track, "Palahniuk's Laughter", enjoyed heavy rotation on music video channels and spent many weeks in charts based on video and radio requests.
