The Fiction We Live is the second studio album by the American post-hardcore band From Autumn to Ashes. It was produced by Garth Richardson and released September 9, 2003, through Vagrant Records. Melanie Wills of One True Thing makes a guest appearance once again, contributing to the vocals on "Autumns Monologue." This is the last album to feature Scott Gross and Mike Pilato. It peaked at number 73 on the US Billboard 200 charts.
Production
Following the release of Too Bad You're Beautiful, From Autumn to Ashes was approached by Island Record who showed interest in signing the band. The deal fell through after a disagreement between the band and label over the production of The Fiction We Live.[1] The band would eventually sign to Vagrant Records after months of speculation.[2][3]
Videos
Three music videos were produced for The Fiction We Live: "The After Dinner Payback", "Lilacs & Lolita," and "Milligram Smile." They aired on Headbangers Ball upon release.
Musical style
The album features more clean vocals than the previous album, Too Bad You're Beautiful, with three songs having no screaming vocals.[4] "Autumn's Monologue" is a re-working of "The Fiction We Live" with the collaboration of Melanie Wills. "Autumn's Monologue" is a continuation of "Short Stories with Tragic Endings" from Too Bad You're Beautiful, while "The Fiction We Live" is a response to "Autumn's Monologue".[5]
Frontman Benjamin Perri said the songs on The Fiction We Live were more structured compared to the band's debut, saying this was due to the band being together longer.[6]
