Background
In the winter of 1997, Third Day went into the studio to record Conspiracy No.5. They were anxious to show the world how much they had improved since their first record which was compiled over the band's first few years together.
Third Day worked with producer Sam Taylor who had worked on many of Kings X's records. Sam really challenged Third Day to stretch individually on their instruments thus, making Conspiracy No. 5 as their most aggressive album to date. It is a departure from their original rootsy Southern Rock style to a heavier, edgier Grunge style.
The whole album was characterized by a heavy guitar sound including wah effects on solo's and Mac's voice was deeper with hints of angst specifically with the song "You Make Me Mad"influenced by the early nineties grunge movement.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
