Alien Ant Farm: ANThology

You're Best Song is a Cover Edition

Smooth Criminal - These guys cover that here. Granted, it wasn't the first single off the album, but it's the one everyone remembers, if they remember Alien Ant Farm at all. Which is unfair, because I feel that they had a few good songs on their first Studio album. In line with bands like Incubus and 311, but with a slightly more math-rock sound, AAF where (Are? I dunno...) pretty decent for a drive to the beach with the windows open. I really like the songs "Movies" (the first single) and "Attitude", but can't stand the ballad "Death Day". Still, the real standout is, indeed "Smooth Criminal". Kind of a bad move to release that as a single and video, but I guess it sold a few more albums, and allowed them to make a second, TruANT (get it?). Wikipedia says they have a third, and a "best-of". Really? Must be nice. I don't own these, because they didn't cover any more Michael Jackson. Looks like they have songs on genre-movie soundtracks and in videogames, too. Must be real nice.

They're also friends with Papa Roach. Well, you can't win 'em all...
