Heart Cooks Brain : Or How I Learned To Love Being Completely Pathetic No.1 (Album)

Heart Cooks Brain : Or How I Learned To Love Being Completely Pathetic #1 (usually shortened to Heart Cooks Brain) is the third album by Sounds of the Wildebeest and the second release of October.

Writing
The album was written by Patrick in 2000, after leaving The Infection and writing to pass the time, the only exception to this would be the title track.

Most of the songs on the album are either too odd to be deciphered or just have a deep and confusing meaning. Patrick has said that he will not tell anyone the meanings of the songs, because he wants people to make their own minds up about the meanings.

Recording
The first three tracks were recorded in 2002, in Patrick's bedroom and later exported to Ricky's computer and later onto tape for production. The rest of the album was recorded in the span of a week and produced as it was recorded.

Release, Reception and Tracklist
The album was released on October 13th on CD and October 11th on Vinyl to universal acclaim. The album was given 87/100 by metacritic critics and users and four and a half stars by most music outlets.
