Willpower (Today Is the Day album)
Willpower is the second studio album by the American noise rock band Today Is the Day, released on September 1994 by Amphetamine Reptile Records.[1] The album was recorded just a few months after Steve Austin's father, whom he had not seen for months by this period of time, died in a violent car crash. A remastered edition of the album was issued in 2007 through the then-newly formed SuperNova Records, which included the track "Execution Style", a rare extra from the Willpower sessions that remained previously unreleased up to that point.
A live performance that was recorded during the tour to promote Willpower was released as a DVD via SuperNova, under the title of Willpower Live in 2007.
Reception
Patrick Kennedy of allmusic awarded the album 4 and a half out of 5 stars, saying, "Though its time signatures are still tricky in a mathematical way, Willpower's greatest strength is its appeal to the human heart through whatever means necessary."[2]
