The Greyest of Blue Skies by Finger Eleven
The Greyest of Blue Skies is an album by Finger Eleven, released in 2000. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “First Time”, on 5 lists with a best position of #16.
The Greyest of Blue Skies, Finger Eleven's third studio album, came out on Wind-up in 2000 and turned the Burlington, Ontario band into a mainstream name. Arnold Lanni produced, and it was their first record with drummer Rich Beddoe, who had taken over from original drummer Rob Gommerman.
The sound is heavy and brooding, post-grunge crunch and alt-metal chug with big, aching choruses riding on top. The songs got around, too: "Suffocate" turned up in Scream 3 and on its soundtrack, "First Time" and "Drag You Down" landed in the Dragon Ball Z film Lord Slug, and "Stay and Drown" went into Cooler's Revenge. The album was certified gold in Canada by June 2001.
