Inspired by the lurching riffs of Helmet and the soft/loud vocal styling of Tool, Chicago-based trio Chevelle's aggressive, heavy sound is all about mounting tension exploding into raw guitar bursts. They started out playing parties and outdoor events, which quickly led to bookings at Chicago clubs when youngest member Joe was just 16.
Chevelle released their first studio album titled Point #1, on May 4, 1999.
Chevelle recorded a demo known as The Blue Album, and played small concerts for the next three years until they were signed on to Steve Taylor's Squint Entertainment.[4] The band recorded for 17 days in Electrical Audio studios, and in 1999, Chevelle released the album, Point #1 which was produced by Steve Albini.
Chevelle released their second studio album titled Wonder What's Next, on October 8, 2002.
Released three years after Point #1 and following tours with bands like Filter, Sevendust, Powerman 5000, and Machine Head — the band had inked a deal with Epic and issued Wonder What's Next, released in August 2002. The album went platinum by the next summer and their second single, "Send the Pain Below," was a number one hit on modern rock and mainstream radio.
Chevelle released their third studio album titled This Type Of Thinking Could Do Us In, on September 21, 2004.
The album debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold by the RIAA six weeks later. The song "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" was released as the first single from the album and reached the number one position on the Mainstream Rock chart. Two other singles were released from the album, the titles of which are "The Clincher" peaking at number three on the Mainstream rock chart, and "Panic Prone" which peaked at number 26 on the same chart.
Chevelle released their fourth studio album titled Vena Sera, on April 13, 2007.
The album was recorded with producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette, whom the band previously worked with on both "This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In)" and "Wonder What's Next" albums. Vena Sera debuted at number 12 in the Billboard 200 with Chevelle being the only rock band in the Top 15.
Chevelle released their fifth studio album titled Sci-Fi Crimes, on August 31, 2009.
The album was recorded with producer Brian Virtue. The band's brand new single, "Jars", was the No. 1 most added track at rock radio and the single is quickly becoming one of the band's biggest hits to date entering the Top 20 after only two weeks.
Chevelle spent seven weeks co-producing "Sci-Fi Crimes" with Brian Virtue (Jane's Addiction, 30 Seconds To Mars, Deftones) in Nashville, Tennessee.
Chevelle's sixth studio album titled Hats Off To The Bull is expected to be released December 6, 2011. The Face To The Floor Songfacts reports that the main concept of Hats Of to the Bull is rooting for the underdog, and its lead single, "Face To The Floor" was written about the many thousands conned by a Ponzi scheme. The track was leaked on September 28, 2011 and debuted on radio October 10, 2011.
Chevelle In an April 2010 interview, drummer Sam mentioned that Pete is currently writing new material for a new album due for a possible fall 2011 release. Chevelle is currently back in the studio working on the new album. According to Pete Loeffler's Twitter account, the band has completed six songs as of April 2011. Chevelle drummer Sam Loeffler mentioned the album could feature a duet with a female artist, and also mentioned that the album could either be fully acoustic or a return to the hard rock style Chevelle had on Wonder What's Next, however Sam Loeffler had mentioned it would be "definitely returning to heavy melodic rock, which is the sound we love."[citation needed] As of May 2011, Chevelle is finished writing songs for the new album and is in Pasadena, CA at JHOC Studios to work with Joe Barresi as the album's producer.[citation needed]. As of June 15, 2011, Pete Loeffler has confirmed the rumors of a female duet (in a Facebook video), by bringing in his sister Natalie, who is also bassist Dean Bernardini's wife. Pete is also expecting to have a single for the new album in August.

I Get It
Chevelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As it is
Well, give us your sad, sad trip
You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life
Assumed it's whether
We're right, or wrong
We're doomed, and there's plenty for all
How dare you catch me counting?
How dare you call at all?
How dare you call this suffering?
How dare you call at all?
You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life
Press on these tannins
They'll double in time
The touch of life, once failed to mention so far
Of course the law is fountains
Of face to face remorse
Of fast and restless blackmail
Like pent-up fetish force
You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life
Do you want it enough?
Do you want it at all?
Should you need it at all?
Takes a minute to see
Do you want it enough?
Do you want it at all?
Should you need it at all?
Do you want it or not?
You're right, I get it
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
So right, so wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life
Life, life, life
The lyrics to Chevelle's song "I Get It" showcase the arrogance and self-centeredness of an individual who believes that the world revolves around them. The opening lines, "So you say you're ignored, As it is, Well, give us your sad, sad trip," indicate that the person is feeling neglected and wants attention. However, this is dismissed by the singer who implies that the person is merely seeking pity.
The chorus of the song, "You're right, I get it, It all makes sense, you're the perfect person, So right, so wrong, Let's all live in your imaginary life," reinforces the notion that the person's inflated sense of self-importance is unwarranted, as it causes them to live in a self-created world of delusion. The lines "How dare you catch me counting? How dare you call at all? How dare you call this suffering?" suggest that the person's actions are an intrusion and an inconvenience to the singer's life.
The remaining lines of the song continue to emphasize the singer's disdain for the person's behavior, expressing that they are not willing to indulge in the person's self-centeredness. Overall, the lyrics to "I Get It" are a critique of the narcissistic tendencies of some individuals and their detrimental impact on those around them.
Line by Line Meaning
So you say you're ignored
You claim that nobody listens to you
As it is
That's how things are
Well, give us your sad, sad trip
Tell us your story of sadness
You're right, I get it
I understand your perspective
It all makes sense, you're the perfect person
Your viewpoint is logical to you
So right, so wrong
You think you're always right, and everyone else is wrong
Let's all live in your imaginary life
You live in a fantasy world where your version of reality is the only valid one
Assumed it's whether
It's assumed whether it's right or wrong
We're right, or wrong
We're correct or incorrect
We're doomed, and there's plenty for all
We're headed for failure and everyone will be affected
How dare you catch me counting?
You're offended that someone noticed you were keeping track of something
How dare you call at all?
You're angry that someone contacted you
How dare you call this suffering?
You think that someone else's complaints are insignificant
Press on these tannins
Push on these tensions
They'll double in time
They'll only get worse over time
The touch of life, once failed to mention so far
The experience of life that hasn't been talked about yet
Of course the law is fountains
The legal system is a source of justice
Of face to face remorse
Confronting your sorrow in person
Of fast and restless blackmail
Of hasty and anxious extortion
Like pent-up fetish force
Like hidden, obsessive energy
Do you want it enough?
Are you willing to work hard for it?
Do you want it at all?
Do you even desire it?
Should you need it at all?
Is it something you really need?
Takes a minute to see
It takes a moment to understand
Do you want it or not?
Do you have a genuine interest in it?
Life, life, life
The essence of existence
