Description: X - More Fun In The New World - Limited Edition Color Vinyl - Limited Edition of 300 - Ships Fast!. More Fun in the New World is the fourth studio album by American rock band X, released in September 1983 by Elektra Records. It was the last X album produced by Ray Manzarek, who is also known for his work as keyboardist for American rock band The Doors. Formed in 1977, X quickly established themselves as one of the best bands in the first wave of LA’s flourishing punk scene; becoming legendary leaders of a punk generation. Featuring vocalist Exene Cervenka, vocalist/bassist John Doe, guitarist Billy Zoom, and drummer DJ Bonebrake, their debut 45 was released on the seminal Dangerhouse label in 1978, followed by seven studio albums released from 1980-1993. Over the years, the band has released several critically acclaimed albums, topped the musical charts with regularity and performed their iconic hits on top television shows such as Letterman and American Bandstand. Perhaps the sharpest, most focused, blazingly rocking album this band ever released, More Fun In The New World stands alongside X's previous three albums as a bold and poetic statement to what punk rock can be in the creative and artistic hands of skilled songwriters and capable players, and also as a sad end of sorts to a band that had given it's all to get so little in return. X would step away from their punk rock roots for their next album, come back a strong but different band after that with a new guitarist in tow, and then break up all together before coming back twice more in the '90's. But for one brief moment in rock music history they gave us four of the richest, boldest, and most original albums of songs as has ever been committed to record. And the bands influence is perhaps even more so today then it was then. Brilliant, shining, and nasty indeed. The single "The New World" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 movie Something Wild. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Supersuckers covered "Devil Doll" and "Poor Girl" for the Free the West Memphis 3 project in 2000; Pearl Jam also covered "The New World" live several times, and "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts" with Tim Robbins live during the 2004 Vote for Change tour.
