On the original record, Toledo used the name \"Joe\" as a stand-in for himself. Revisiting Teens in the run-up to it's 10th year, he felt compelled to give Joe a backstory and began tweaking the album to tell that tale. \"The resulting work feels more like the album Teens of Denial was meant to be,\" Will Toledo writes in a new message to fans. \"When you're writing from a dark space, it's hard to have perspective on where you're at. This time, I could pull from memories of that darkness, and use the distance and additional perspective of ten years of life to shed a fuller light on the experience. Joe is a character going through some of what I experienced, and some of his own problems.\"Early this year, the group returned to the studio with producer Steve Fisk to update accordingly -tweaking lyrics and recording new tunes in the \"Denial-style,\" including the optimistic and anthemic \"Joe Drives Again.\" The result retains Teens's dark edge and youthful cynicism, but promises a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Toledo writes, \"I'm so grateful that this is a work that people have kept coming to, and I hope that this presentation does them honor with a fresh offering to the conversation. We've known that \"it doesn't have to be like this\"; now we can wonder - \"'what it if were like this?'\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"track\"\u003e1.
