Close Calls With Brick Walls

Close Calls With Brick Walls is the third album released by Andrew W.K. in 2006 through Universal Records. Originally released in July 2006 in Japan with an exclusive bonus DVD, then in Korea with four exclusive bonus tracks. It was later released to the rest of the world on CD. The album marked a major change in sound, abandoning the ”wall of sound” heard on earlier albums for a more traditional rock sound, and with Andrew's vocals sung rather than screamed. Songs of more experimental nature were also featured on this album. The album received a wide array of reactions from fans and critics.
