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:
“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)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
