Brand New History, the third full-length album from Vancouver's Econoline Crush, came out on Restless in 2001, and it's the sound of an industrial rock band sanding down its sharp edges for a shot at the big time. Following up the platinum-selling The Devil You Know, they brought in Bob Rock, the man behind records by Metallica, Mötley Crüe and Aerosmith, along with DJ Swamp, who'd worked with Beck, and aimed for a smoother mix of their trademark grind and straight-up pop hooks.
Singer Trevor Hurst, the one constant in the band's history, sits right up front in the mix, and the machinery clanks politely behind him instead of drowning him out. "You Don't Know What It's Like" is the payoff, a brooding, radio-ready rocker that became one of the singles the band is best known for.
