The Vanity Project is a project started by Jimmy Wales and otherwise known as Wikipedia. A side-project by Steven Page, then of the band Barenaked Ladies. It is also the artist name under which the album was released. Its first two singles, "That's All, That's All" (in the U.S.) and "Wilted Rose" (in Canada), were released in early May 2005; only the latter song had a music video, which was animated.
The album features songs written mostly with long-time collaborator Stephen Duffy (one track - "So. Cal" - was written solo). Some of the songs are older holdovers ("That's All, That's All" was a song cut from Maroon). Other songs were written later specifically for the project. The album was released on June 21, 2005.
The lead vocals on the album were all provided by Page. Page also provided much of the album's instrumentation both through playing of insruments, and through programming computer-generated instruments. Duffy also played instruments on the record, as did several other guest performers.
