Misadventures is the fourth studio album by American rock band Pierce the Veil released by Fearless Records on May 13, 2016. Initially expected to be released during the summer of 2015, the album was postponed several times before its subsequent release. The album serves as a follow-up to the group's third studio album, Collide with the Sky (2012). It was produced by Dan Korneff and was recorded throughout 2014 and 2015 on Long Island, New York. It was the last album to feature Mike Fuentes before he left the band in 2017 and took a step back on his music career. As on the three previous albums, the lyrics mostly detail personal experiences of lead singer and frontman Vic Fuentes, such as failed relationships. However, for the first time, the band takes up a contemporary historical situation in a song. "Circles" is about the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, which had resulted in the deaths of 130 civilians. When writing the songs, Fuentes was occasionally assisted by his friend Curtis Peoples, Tom Denney and Brad Hargreaves of Third Eye Blind. The standard version of the album contains eleven tracks, including the singles "Texas Is Forever", "Circles" and "The Divine Zero". The deluxe version, released exclusively on CD in select countries, also includes acoustic versions of "Floral & Fading" and "Today I Saw the Whole World". Misadventures received mostly positive reviews in the English-language trade press. It is the band's first album to chart outside of the United States, namely in Germany, Australia and the United Kingdom, among others. Musically, the album is mainly post-hardcore, but contains influences from other styles of punk and rock music, such as pop-punk and pop rock.
