Anthology - Alien Ant Farm Reviews

"ANThology" was released in 2001 as the major-label debut form the Alternative Metal band Alien Ant Farm. It finds them bringing a mixture of the contemporary Metal sounds in addition to things such as Post-Grunge to compliment it all for additional effect and show where their influences have came from. 1. ...  Read the complete review

Alien Ant Farm (AAF) were everywhere in the summers of 2001 and 2001, thanks to being signed for the release of this album partially thanks to their friendship with Papa Roach (another blast from the past). The then ubiquitous 'Smooth Criminal' made it into the dizzying realms of chart success in both the UK and the US and further afield. The ...  Read the complete review

Alien Ant Farm burst onto the scene largely thanks to their hit cover of Smooth Criminal, and the accompanying video, both of which got a lot of air time, on both radio and tv. On the back of that song and a couple more I had heard, I decided to buy the album ANThology, a 'clever' play on words though not exactly fitting for your debut ...  Read the complete review

'ANThology' is the oh so cleverly titled major label debut album from Alien Ant Farm, it was released in 2001 and features a cover of the Michael Jackson track 'Smooth Criminal'. The album features 13 tracks and consists of 56 minutes of music; it's not exactly a great album, the Michael Jackson cover is however well worth listening ...  Read the complete review

One such band, were Alien Ant Farm who are probably best remembered for their cover of "Smooth Criminal". Most people would ...  Read the complete review

Dryden Mitchell looks as though he's had a close encounter of the hedge-trimmer kind in this debut for the US 'rock' bands album sleve shoot. I - as most did - bought the album after hearing just 1 song of theirs - the cover of Wacko Jacko's SMOOTH CRIMINAL. This track in itself was catchy enough to get even the frailest of ex-rocksters ...  Read the complete review

Several months ago I was lucky enough to see AAF (Alien Ant Farm) live at a local club. Due to a radio station promotion, the cover charge was only a mere 97 cents. I was disappointed by the lack of local coverage and the low crowd turnout. At this time, their video of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" had not been ...  Read the complete review

Well…Alien Ant Farm. I mean what a great name for a band, because nowadays the chance to be original is running out, as there are so many bands. Now, not many people had heard of this band until Kerrang (music TV channel of the magazine, available on digital TV) started playing the song ‘Movies’ off the album- but even then I ...  Read the complete review

Here is my new master plan for music and world success: 1. Find four American teenagers 2. Come up with a good three word name for them 3. Give them new haircuts and new skateboard cloths 4. Make sure one of them can scream reasonably well 5. Have one learn one drum beat 6. Teach two guitarist how to make some noise ...  Read the complete review

At first listen of Alien Ant Farm?s ANThology, I wasn?t particularly impressed. I thought that they were dry and boring, and a bit American Middle-of-the-road. After about five listens thought, I find that they have grown of me, and I feel qualified enough to give my opinion of this CD. Alien Ant Farm are one of the only bands I can think of at ...  Read the complete review

I dont normally like new metal but... This is an extremely good debut from a band that sound a lot different to other nu-metal offerings, such as the highly overrated 'Linkin Park' and 'Limp Bizkit'. The reason why this is such a satisfying listen is because it is one of those albums that you have to listen to a couple of ...  Read the complete review

Alien Ant Farm are much like Papa Roach. The bands are best friends, and when neither was well known, they both opened foreach other when they toured around California. Even some of their music sounds the same, but hardly. The music sounds like Papa Roach, but the riffs sound like htey are played higher then PR's and the songs aren't all ...  Read the complete review

New, light entertainment from AAF. The album gets a tad "samey" in places. Worth a listen, just - Advantages: A few good tracks, A new interesting band to listen to, Light entertainment - Disadvantages: Released a cover track rather than original material, Song style a bit repetitive on the album
