Five
for Fighting achieved a hit record with "Superman (It's Not Easy)" in
2001 leading to his America Town album going Platinum. For
the follow-up, The Battle Of Everything, John Ondrasik went into the
studio with Bill Bottrell, best known for his production work with
Sheryl Crow.
On
the influences behind Battle and its recording, Ondrasik said, "When I
was a kid I could put on Dark Side of the Moon, turn up the sound in my
headphones, lie down in the dark, and go away. I wanted that experience
again, and so Bill and I were ambitious to the point of absurdity. If we
wanted drama, we'd get a thirty-piece orchestra. If we wanted a rock
edge, we went after it with reckless abandonment. It was like doing my
own private Quadrophenia."
The
Battle for Everything was released in 2004. The first single, "100
Years" was a top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album itself
was certified Platinum in 2009. and is now finally available on vinyl
for the first time.
