Book of Sadness is the very first, extended play, four-track album produced by the pop punk/emo/rockbandThe Promise Drive following the summer of 2002.
It was mostly distributed as a demo at venues, although later, a few copies were given to fans as well.
The entire album was recorded on a computer at the drummer's house during Christmas.
Album origin
The name of the album was derived from a notebook that was used, at the time, for recording lyrics.
Its official album cover was never distributed; instead, CD were sold with a graphic of a twisted skateboard as its label.
Track listing
"Divided By Zero"
"Another Song, Another Girl, Another Year"
"Forever Gone"
"For Jessica"
Trivia
The song "Divided By Zero" was re-recorded later at a studio, and then played briefly at select radio stations.
That particular recording was never included in any of their albums.
The songs "Divided By Zero", "Another Song, Another Girl, Another Year", and "Forever Gone" were later re-recorded and added to their next album, Right On Brother...
Because they have recently started playing "Divided By Zero" at shows, it has been rumored that the song was re-written and may appear on their new album, The Promise Drive.
