''A Worm's Life'' is the third album by Crash Test Dummies, released in 1996. It was the follow-up to the band's triple-platinum ''God Shuffled His Feet''. ==Background== After the band finished touring their hit album ''God Shuffled His Feet'', frontman Brad Roberts spent considerable time traveling abroad, relocating to London, England at the time to escape the pressures of fame and celebrity where, because they didn't get MTV Europe, no one recognized him there "except German and Italian tourists." During his travels, Roberts began penning new material. Though he briefly visited New York City, most of the material he had written was outside North America, including one notable stay in Prague, Czech Republic. Finally, after having compiled much written material, Roberts reconvened with the rest of the band at Compass Point Studios in The Bahamas in the winter of 1995 to begin recording the follow-up to ''God Shuffled His Feet''. As a departure from the recording sessions of their first two records, the band decided to self-produce ''A Worm's Life''. Pursuing a more guitar-heavy sound, the band drafted acclaimed music producer and recording engineer Terry Manning to engineer the record. The band's producer, Jeff Rogers, noted: "Terry has got a guitar collection to rival Randy Bachman's. And Brad got to play every one of them on the record." Roberts had claimed on record that ''A Worm's Life'' "does go a little further than the other ones in terms of odd melodies, wacky key signatures, and chord changes." while continuing to adopt a lyrical approach that looks "at simple things in unusual ways rather than the other way around." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Worm's Life」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
