Sleazeball Ballet

by Balls Capone

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    This record was recorded all analog to be pressed to vinyl, this was the whole idea for this record, an entirely badass, all analog, high quality vinyl record. This version of the record was mastered specifically for vinyl by Welcome to 1979 in Nashville with the highest quality in mind! There are 300 of them being pressed and there will probably only ever be 300. So order one today! **(SHIPPING INCLUDED IN PRICE)**

    The vinyls are ordered and pressing will begin sometime in the next many months, if you don't already know, most vinyl pressing plants are backed up 8 to 12 months with projects at the moment since vinyl has become all the rage once more. So, with the purchase of the vinyl you will instantly get the digitally mastered and downloadable version of the album along with two special bonus tracks that won't be included anywhere else as a special "Thank You" for buying the real deal, which we seriously appreciate. So, thank you! And we will ship your vinyl out to you as soon as they come in, however long that may be. (Est. 6 - 10 months)

Sleazeball Ballet by: Patrick N. Neville The doctor told him Get ready to go Behind the veil Ralph ain't changing With his twisted rotting toes Vodka potato nose Out there somewhere He's late for some drinkin' Then there's dear old Mrs. Mack With her crooked aching back Behind the veil she laughs at your pain and Don't you ever come between Her and her Benzedrine or you'll find yourself Buried in her basement It's a place you go when life is a bore When you feel like you can't take it anymore In perfect lines and rows they abide Seems like slow motion as they glide Up and down and back and forth, through my mind Old Franky told me he's got nowhere else to go Behind the veil old Franky is scheming And he's quick to swipe your pills To fund his fucked up deals It's always some get rich quick scheme But you'll always know the place You can find his wretched face Behind the veil truth is naked So they do it in the night It'd be repulsive in the light Relax now and enjoy the show! It's a place you go when life is a bore When you feel like you can't take it anymore In perfect lines and rows they abide Seems like slow motion as they glide Up and down and back and forth, through my mind Behind the Veil There's a place you can go Where your secret's safe And no one else knows It's all the same, so you might as well go And it's off the Sleazeball.....Sleazeball. Behind the Veil There's a place you can go Where your secret's safe And no one else knows We've all been there, so you might as well go And you're off to the Sleazeball..... The Sleazeball Ballet

Again by Patrick N. Neville I wonder how I can tell That there's nobody there It burns like ball Slips and falls But I can't watch anymore Star Trek though I won't let you go And I smile as I burn all the evidence I wanna go again and again I believe in nothing So there's nothing to say I won't let you roll Or bounce like nothings sacred I'm in my motel room You dance like nobody else I won't let you though because I can't ever turn and face it I won't let you go It's so vile Can you feel my arrogance? I'm gonna go again and again and again I wonder what's left there? After I burned down and blew up the motel Without a microphone I sing alone You dance but nobody's watching though I won't let you go And it burns like a golden heretic I wanna go again I just want it one more time

The Scenic Route - by Patrick N. Neville Can you not see yourselves? Is that not the way to feel? We're taking the scenic route Strapped to an old flywheel We took a hard right turn To fields of old crushed cars Rusting tanks, batteries strewn about Cement chunks and bent rebar Acidic plumes of smoke appear Tied to the blackened soil Lost among the burning stacks Your careless creeping oil Hissing blasts, escaping gas Pilot lights, blue blazing eyes Forming cracks in treated glass Revealing the boiling skies And it's so damn old Caught up in your smokey curls And when it all falls out Now we're on the scenic route! Controls set in banks and rows Glow in a dim lit room The smell of stale cigarettes A whirring electric gloom Sending out the alarm you sound Cuts through the rusty night Moldy bones and acetones Of the polluted burning lie And it's so damn cold Staring into your single solitary mural And when it all falls out Now we're on the scenic route! And it's so damn cold Bathing in your profit driven world And when it all falls out We'll all be on the scenic route!

Scumbag Yard Sale - by Patrick N. Neville. Little John and his brother Don Were raised in the good ol days They took a look, into the good book And tried to live the way But it didn't work and the daemons lurked And soon they were led astray Now they drink till they hurl And hail the Fuhrer All we could do was pray Johnny Ray threw it all away When he robbed that liquor store He thought it would work But he shot the clerk Johnny ain't around no more And his brother Don Without brother John Joined the army to run away But it was a curse Now he's under the earth In some country far away They say it takes a village To make em big and strong They say it takes a village To teach em right from wrong They say it takes a village To keep em on that path It also takes a village To whip em till they crack Mr. Lou, He taught grade two Confused by Common Core With the lack of funds And kids bringing guns They sent Lou out the door No he spends his nights Under dim lights Bathed in Conspiracies A lonely man in an angry land Devoid of reality They say it takes a village To make em big and strong They say it takes a village To teach em right from wrong They say it takes a village As they're talking down to you It always takes a village Do as we say not as we do Mr. Leize that greasy sleaze Lives down in number four You already know The kind of creeps That often darken his door You know it ain't right And it's hard to fight Surrounded by all of these thugs Flippin lids to all your kids And then they scatter like bugs They say it takes a village To make em big and strong They say it takes a village To teach em right from wrong They say it takes a village Listen to what I say It always takes a village To pray the gay away

Not This Time - by Patrick N. Neville Early in the morning Something spoke inside my head I pushed off my covers And I jumped out of bed I asked you where you’re going As you ran out of my door Like blackened metal sinking down I'll rust here no more You told me you were leaving At least you think you should But I can hear you as you follow me Crackling through my woods Wishing you could be What you wanted to be Spinning ever backwards For some piece of me And you won’t see me hangin’ Hangin’ on your lies Oh no, you won’t Not this time Well I just couldn’t ever Understand your silly words That you just seem to laugh about And I pretend I never heard So we keep on playing Broken records that we've made Mesmerized and skipping round But I’ve found my way You try to hide your footprints By walking in my stream But the water only echos out Your discordant harmony And this time I won’t follow I won't rest under your shade Facing forward where the stars are out I've got it made And you won’t leave me danglin’ Danglin’ on your line Oh no, you won’t Not this time And you won’t leave me layin’ Layin’ here to die Oh no, you won’t Not this time

about

This album has been a long time coming, almost 3 years in fact. Through hardships, plague, band drama, political upheaval, and more, Balls Capone has been recording this album. It did not stop us, only drove us harder to do what we do best. It is a musical representation of the band and things in general through 2020, 2021, and 2022. It's some of the heaviest music I've ever written and most of the album was written on the fly. I'd write a song, we'd go record it, on and on. I've been so laser focused on doing this album, I seriously don't know what I'm going to do now that it's done. On to the next! Thanks for buying it! This shit ain't cheap and it's nice to be able to keep the lights on at Balls Capone.

This record was originally intended to be released only on vinyl. It was recorded all on 2 inch tape and mixed analog down to 1/4 inch tape, so yes, there is tape hiss present on all tracks. Just fair warning, some seem to think it to be some kind of recording error. It is not. It's just analog.

This is the digitally mastered and downloadable version of the album along with two special bonus tracks that won't be included anywhere else as a special "Thank You" for buying the real deal, which we seriously appreciate. So, thank you!
