A Party With a Sly Shark

A Party With a Sly Shark is the second EP by the Canadian nu metal band Sharks in the Pool. Released under the Nuclear Blast label on December 11, 2007, it is the group's first and only material to feature Herald Nelson as the primary electronist. In terms of musical direction, the extended play depicts the band returning to their more aggressive sound while also experimenting with styles of stoner rock, funk, progressive metal, and rapcore. Unlike Sharks in the Pool's previous EP, Shark Attack, all of the six tracks that appeared on A Party With a Sly Shark are new recordings.
