ALIEN ANT FARM – Attitude

Alien Ant Farm, just like Wheatus before them, laughed in the face of ‘difficult second single’. But ‘Smooth Criminal’ was a cover, albeit a very good one. ‘Movies’ continued their trajectory, but they unwisely decided to move away from the silly shtick for single number three. Brooding, intense and volatile, ‘Attitude’ even came with a moody, washed-out video complete with ‘troubled stubble’ and serious poses. They’ve never really been back since.

UK chart placing: 66 Indiependent rating: 6/10

Good or bad: A strong display of musical craftsmanship, the wandering bass and delicate guitar arpeggios don’t make up for the carefree joy of ‘Movies’.
