'''''Album''''' is | '''''Album''''' (originally produced as a self-titled release, '''''Shufflepuck''''') is the debut album by the alternative rock band [[Shufflepuck]]. The band's eponymous record was produced for Interscope Records—intended for release in [[1996]]—but never saw release. A remastered version was produced in [[2024]] and released on [[August 23]], [[2024]], under Mos Eisley Music. | ||

In the early 90s, Shufflepuck recorded a demo tape at 4th Street Recording in Santa Monica with producer [[Jim Wirt]]. The band subsequently got the attention of Interscope Records,<ref name="generationblue">Lauden, S.W. ''[[Generation Blue]]: An Oral History of The Hollywood Geek Rock Scene in the 1990s & 2000s''. 2024. Remember the Lightning, LLC.</ref> who signed the band to a multi-album contract.<ref>[https://www.adamorth.com/about-1 Adam Orth resume]</ref>Days into recording their debut album, however, the band's A&R representative "disappeared." "So, the Shufflepuck record was done," recalled frontman [[Adam Orth]] in [[2024]], "and then Interscope sat on it for a year. They just kept pushing the release date back because Marilyn Manson, No Doubt, Nine Inch Nails and Toadies—plus everything at Death Row—was exploding. Interscope literally just didn't have time to devote to us."<ref name="generationblue" /> | |||

Orth subsequently dissolved the band. About a decade later, he destroyed the album's master tapes. "I had the 2-inch master tapes for the record in a closet for about 10 years and finally disposed of them because I had moved a couple times and I was so sick of carrying them around." Orth said in a 2024 interview, "I often think back to the day when I threw them out in a dumpster in downtown Los Angeles and regret that choice every time."<ref name="rtlinterview>Lauden, S.W.

In [[2024]], the song appeared on the compilation album ''[[Generation Blue]]'', a multimedia project curated by S.W. Lauden (a pen name for former [[Ridel High]] drummer [[Steve Coulter]]). Shufflepuck reunited to perform at a launch party for the compilation. Later that year, Orth utilized session DATs and CD-R masters to remaster the album (now titled simply ''Album'') for release on music streaming platforms, as well as a limited-edition vinyl release. | |||
