Antreassian and Wood created a version of the fan favorite that is one of the rare cases where a new mix is widely considered to improve on the original noticeably.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Normal Album&#8221; is yet another turn in Wood&#8217;s discography. It sardonically plays with Americana and doo-wop sounds, strategically restrained but still highly emotive vocals, and lyrics densely packed with scientific and philosophical references.<\/p>\n<p>The dark mania of Wood&#8217;s prior 2016 release, &#8220;SELF-iSH,&#8221; continues on some tracks but is arranged with greater precision. This is possible with a new band at his command. Like his 2015 debut &#8220;Everything is a Lot,&#8221; the songs whiplash tonally. Yet, they are bound together by intertwined themes, recurrent musical motifs, and an undercurrent of simultaneous obtuseness and vulnerability.<\/p>\n<p>After the original mix of &#8220;The Normal Album&#8221; was released, a live version of the LP&#8217;s 4th track, &#8220;I\/Me\/Myself,&#8221; had an unexpected viral moment. It drew attention to many other songs on the LP.<\/p>\n<p>Songs like &#8220;2econd 2ight 2eer&#8221; and &#8220;Laplace&#8217;s Angel&#8221; continued to attract new fans with their dense wordplay and high-energy attitude. The album became Wood&#8217;s first major break into larger notoriety, proving that his sudden burst of popularity was not just a fleeting trend.<\/p>\n<p>After taking some time away from the public, Wood began revisiting the album. He intended to give it the production he had initially envisioned.<\/p>\n<h4>Track Listing<\/h4>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Suburbia Overture<\/li>\n<li>2econd 2ight 2eer<\/li>\n<li>Laplace\u2019s Angel (Hurt People?
