Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do (2003) |
The Vinyl Countdown (2003) |
Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do (often called Two Lefts) is the third full-length album released by Christian rock band Relient K. It was initially released with four different covers, each one depicting a separate car wreck. In November 2003, a fifth cover was released, which showed all four cars in a junkyard. That is now the only version of the CD still in print, although a very small amount the four original covers can still be found. It was also released as a combo pack with Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand.
Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do was certified Gold on March 21, 2005 by the RIAA for sales in excess of 500,000 in the United States. A Gold Edition of this album is scheduled to be released on October 31, 2006. The idea for a Gold Edition of this album came from Gotee Records, who will release a Gold Edition of The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek on the same day. The Gold Edition of this album will have remixed and remastered sound so that it will be on par with that of Mmhmm, and it will be enhanced with a music video for the song "Chap Stick, Chapped Lips, and Things Like Chemistry".

[edit] Notes and Trivia
- The version of "Jefferson Aero Plane" found here is a new recording of "Jefferson Airplane," which can be found on The Creepy EP. Neither version has anything to do with the band Jefferson Airplane, but that is where the name of the song comes from. It's possible the spelling is changed for the same reasons that the band's name was changed, which was to avoid copyright infringement. This also applies to the song "Maybe Its Maybeline."
- There is also a hidden track at the end of "Jefferson Aero Plane" entitled "Silly Shoes." It starts about two minutes after the song ends, at seven minutes and nineteen seconds. MC Defenseless, the rapper on the hidden track, is Kevan Pedan, a friend of band member Matt Thiessen. Thiessen is the other voice on the track.
- Dave Douglas sings back and forth with Matt Thiessen on the first verse of "Hoopes I Did It Again."
- Dave Douglas sings some solos in the song "I Am Understood?." He sings the second half of the first verse, beginning with the line, "And sometimes, I'm so thankful for your loyalty." He also sings some solo parts for the ending of the song, along with Matt Thiessen ("The noise has broken my defense...").
- A tentative track listing for the album originally included the song "More Than Useless," which was instead saved for the album Mmhmm.
- Matt Thiessen said that the album's title was originally just Two Lefts Don't Make a Right, but the band decided to add something more onto the title.
- The four special album covers were not the band's idea, but rather that of Gotee Records.
- The song "Gibberish" contains every letter of the alphabet.
- The "Jeremy" mentioned in the first line of "In Love with the 80s (Pink Tux to the Prom)" is Matt Thiessen's brother, who is the drummer of the band downhere.
