Unlucky Name
13's title was derived from the bad luck the band felt they endured during the production of this album. Problems included:
- The need for 4 different drummers to complete the album.
- Internal strife due to supposed splits with vocalist Jason.
- The destruction of the album's original master tapes prior to their completion.
It took Solace three years to complete this follow up to Further (2000).

Famous quotes containing the word unlucky:
“So, when my days of impotence approach,
And I’m by pox and wine’s unlucky chance
Forced from the pleasing billows of debauch
On the dull shore of lazy temperance,
My pains at least some respite shall afford
While I behold the battles you maintain
When fleets of glasses sail about the board,
From whose broadsides volleys of wit shall rain.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
“The unlucky hand dealt to clear and precise writers is that people assume they are superficial and so do not go to any trouble in reading them: and the lucky hand dealt to unclear ones is that the reader does go to some trouble and then attributes the pleasure he experiences in his own zeal to them.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
