Just One is the debut album by the hardcore band Better Than a Thousand, released in 1997. Originally just intended to be a fun project, Ray Cappo, Graham Land and Ken Olden recorded some hardcore songs at Issa Diao's (of Good Clean Fun) studio in Atlanta. After releasing this album, the band gained a large following. This was mainly because Better Than a Thousand's sound reminds a lot of people of Ray's old band Youth of Today, only then slightly updated to the melodic hardcore style that was famous around 1997.
He joins the gang as we leave the pub, we're off downtown to a niteclub.
And whereas usually we'd get in, we don't tonight 'cos we're with him.
We're miles from home waiting for the last bus, but when it comes it don't stop for us
We can't afford a cab and it's quite clear, this wouldn't happen if he weren't here.
He's a jinx, jinx, everything goes wrong.
He's a jinx, jinx, when he string along.
It's Saturday night and there's parties on, but we can't get in any 'cos he's come along.
So we end up walking 'round all night, if it weren't for him we'd been alright.
If you want a partner for pool or darts, and you play with him you've lost before it starts.
