ALBUMMER! 55: Alien Ant Farm's Anthology

Today on Albummer! the gang is joined by enemy of the show and War on Women front person Shawna Potter to talk about Alien Ant Farm. Do you remember those nu-metal guys who covered a Michael Jackson song? Turns out they had 12 original songs on that CD, too.

The crew behind Two Minutes to Late Night are here to re-review some of the most critically reviled albums out there!

Happened to see them at the same Warped Tour Jeremy mentioned. I think it was prior to their record actually dropping or thereabouts, so only thing I had for the singer to sign at their booth was the tour comp for that year. Funny thing he and I noticed was they weren't actually featured on the comp though, so he signed "Fuck that". Memories.

I also saw these guys at Warped Tour 2001. Was my first concert, and I was so excited to see them. Got their autograph on my ticket stub.

I still think of "JUS LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEK THA MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES" from time to time.

It's weird because I know the singles and therefore am surprised that they weren't 100% a peepee doodoo band, as Jordan said.

Also, I didn't know Incubus wasn't just a hippie band.

Honestly a little star-struck as having Shawna on GB, she's incredible! Please consider having her back. Also, the 5 seconds of her singing the chorus of 'Movies' made me think what a great cover that would be...

When I was a kid I'd specifically scan the channels looking for the big AAF videos. The 'weirdness' of the band members mannerisms and the wacky vocal inflections (plus bass nonsense) were captivating to someone who was just figuring out music. Each time you watched the video you'd spot or hear something new. When I heard them on the THPS3 album I was shocked as they came off as much more serious (although 'Wish' is still a banger). Then I saw their invasion of the BET Awards and just threw my hands up in the air and said I don't know what this band is. Still don't, but I'm glad most of you had a decent time listening to this one.

Best Smooth Criminal version is the one from Moonwalker on the Genesis. Which is why I covered it.

Woo!

The only reason I bought the album was because of Tony Hawk Pro Skater and to this day I have only listened to Wish and Smooth Criminal.

Hot damn, a Texas Is The Reason shoutout? Between that and referencing Hatesong, this episode had a golden age AV Club feel to it. Great episode, great guest!
