Artist: Alien Ant Farm
Album: TruANT
Year: 2003
While not as good as major label debut ANThology, Alien Ant Farm's sophomore release is no slump. Opener "A 1000 Days" pulls the trigger with the immediacy that made their debut so entrancing, and you can bet that it's catchy. However, TruANT is more hit-or-miss than it's predecessor. "Glow" is another highlight, a bit less heavy and a dash more ethnic, and "These Days" could have been a highlight on their debut and certainly is here. More highlights include the jittery "Sarah Wynn", "Tia Lupe", which sounds like an extension of "Glow" featuring, of course, Mariachi trumpets in the chorus. "Rubber Mallet" seems like another song that could fit on the debut, while closer "Hope" is sincere and poignant and caps off a great album. Highly recommended.
