Content

The nineteen track album was released on compact disc and digital download with Eyeball Records, on November 26, 2001.[1] The album is produced by John Naclerio, and was recorded at Nada Studios in Newburgh, New York, with the exception of "Fat and Alone," which was produced by Antonio Valenti and recorded at HinchKraft Studios in North Haledon, New Jersey. Mastering is by Alan Douches at West West Side. Album artwork is by Neil Sabatino, with photography by Dahlia Nardone, and Jamie Schaefer.[2] Heartbreak in Stereo is described as vicious, but unfocused hardcore punk rock. It features Frank Iero in "full berserker mode," with screaming, howling, and raging vocals.[3] It was re-released in early 2007, because fans could not find the album.

On recording for Heartbreak in Stereo, Iero says "I tried not to hold anything back, [which is] the way I feel about music and performing." Eyeball Records label owner Alex Saavedra notes "I actually disliked the record, but I liked the kids because they had a lot of heart."[3]

gollark: Do cloud providers start stuff that much faster than generic VPS ones? All the VPS providers I've used can manage initialisation in a few minutes.
gollark: But it still seems like a big price delta given that, like you said, they have ridiculous economies of scale.
gollark: I have an old tower server which costs maybe £5/month to run, which provides ~4x the CPU/RAM and ~10x the disk I'd get from a cloud provider at similar pricing, plus I could install a spare GPU when I wanted that. This is a very extreme case since I am entirely ignoring my time costs on managing it and don't have as much redundancy as them.(Edit: also terrible internet connectivity, and colocation would be expensive)
gollark: Possibly also that you can hire fewer sysadmins? But I'm not sure they're that expensive if you have a lot of developers anyway.
gollark: I think the argument for cloud is mostly that it's much faster to scale than "have a bunch of servers in your office", but it seems like you pay an insane amount for that.
