AAF never fails to amaze me! I thought it would be hard to compete with the previous 2, but I was wrong. This album is excellent. I have put it in my car and have not stopped listening to it since. You Must Buy This Album!.
AAF is 'F'ing awesome!!!!!!1
i can't beleive how good they are!
my favorite song (not on this cd) is "smooth criminal". alien ant farm rules. they remade michael jackson's song in a metal version.
but this cd is just as sweet.
AAF IS BEAST!!!.
give 'em credit, give 'em support
i will admit that much of the album is about relationships; that said, it's great music. i'm hooked just by the singer's voice. they are a unique band in a world of music where 5,000 bands consist of about 10 different styles in the popular arena. these guys always stood out a bit, and i appreciate the way they put songs together. i would maybe say buy ANThology see where you stand, since it is the best example of what they do. TruANT has some great versatility on it. then buy this one. i particularly like forgive & forget. there's a lot of crap out there that goes in & out of rage without much sincerity. i believe it when AAF does it. check 'em out. Then check out 'Tip,' the 1st; then the 2nd album from Finger Eleven. it's miles beyond the last album they put out. go to concerts, buy merchandise - REALLY support the musicians. who cares about the industry. .
solid and consistent album
You can't ignore the pounding drums and catchy chorus of "Forgive and Forget. The Good
" Bad Morning" is a driving anthem for those that can't stand hearing the morning alarm go off. " "Around the Block" has infectious riffs and a fetching cowbell beat. That's right, cowbell. Vocalist Dryden Mitchell's chorus section is melodic and hook laden. "San Sebastian" uses muted riffs and blazing guitar licks to draw you in. Meaty riffs and a simple yet effective hook dominate "Getting Closer. " Mitchell displays his best vocal performance here as he delivers with lots of heart and emotion. Acoustic, country style guitars with a modern rock twist help lead "Crickets. " "State of Emergency" is loaded with thunderous drum beats and fiery guitar runs. "She's Only Evil" is a moving ballad about the negative aspects of a sour relationship. It either has a bombastic ending, or there's a bonus instrumental stuck in there.
The Bad
Nothing notable
The Verdict
Alien Ant Farm deliver a solid and consistent album with Up in the Attic. Their only obstacle is an industry that uses and disposes of bands like them.
.
verry nice third album by AAF
Just a rockin album with a great variaty of songs.
