Greatest Hits (Alien Ant Farm album)

Common card · No. 423585

Greatest Hits is the debut studio album by the American rock band Alien Ant Farm, released in February 1999 through the band's own label, Chick Music. Despite its name, Greatest Hits is not a compilation album, and was intended to be tongue-in-cheek. To record the album, the band would sneak into a local studio overnight and work until the morning. Most of the songs were reworked on their next two albums, Anthology and Truant. Alien Ant Farm was well known in their local scene. After the release of Greatest Hits, the band played numerous shows in California; they also had stops in Europe. Alien Ant Farm were well acquainted with fellow Californian rock band Papa Roach, and were the first act signed to Papa Roach's New Noize label in 2000. In 2005, the album was reissued with a thinner font. Miguel Martinez, who mixed some of this album, later died by suicide, and the track "Sleepwalker" from Up in the Attic was dedicated to his girlfriend. Greatest Hits would win best independent album...
