    This CD is great. where some songs had unbelievable choruses (1000 Days, Drifting Apart, These Days), others offered memorable beats that were carried through entire songs (Glow, Never Meant, Tia Lupe), and others had crazy-cool background music to accompany Mitchell's airtight singing (Sarah Wynn, Goodbye, Rubber Mallet, SS Recognize). And then, as a testament to all that has happened to the band, they finish off with the powerful "Hope." Not only does this CD give ANThology a run for its money, but it sets the bar for just about every alt metal band out there.… Expand

    I agree with Phillip G... I wasn't much intrigued by AAF from their first album, but I purchased this one b/c I thought These Days was such a catchy tune. I was not disappointed... I enjoy every single song on this album, and that rarely happens with me. Each song has it's own catchiness to it, musically, and I think Dryden Mitchell has a great, clear voice. These guys are talented, and definitely display a great amount of versatility here. Kudos are also in order for the DeLeo Bros, whose influence is pretty obvious in alot of these tracks.… Expand

    Quite good compared to their first effort. I never really cared for them until I gave this album a listen. Its a great progression to the alt metal mess that plauged ANThology. TruANT Seems better structured, and contains much better songs.

    Does nobody appreciate diversity anymore? This CD shows amazing versatility. The only people that won't like it are the ones stuck in their chosen genre and unable to break free.

    Well, Alien Ant Farm are, although truANT being their second full length release, a new band. This is normally a good thing for bands at this stage as they arent under as much pressure while making new material. But this is not the casewith AAF, they are under a large amount of pressure as their first delivery, ANThology, in 2001 did sell very well indeed. But dont dispair becuase despite all this pressure Alien Ant Farm have produced one hell of an album. Some songs on truANT revise on the previous ANThology and others charge ahead on what's to come, both of these types of song meriting the album, then theres strange tracks like Tia Lupe which is a quirky spanish-latin kind of song, it doesnt really fit in with the album on first listen but the albums pace picks up with songs such as Rubber Mallet and S.S.Recognize which are hard slabs of rock, the single these days breaks open with a blasting melody then drops into a gritty riff then opens out into a suttle poppy sing-a-long chorus the round again, a sheer rollercoaster ride of excellent songwriting.The other songs that are worth a mention are Glow, a very melodic if pop like ballad, which has an excellent chorus, the opener, 1000 Days, is also brilliant and every other track really, but songs like Tia Lupe and Never Meant are more experimental tracks and take a few listens to get used to but once you do get used to these songs you realize how good the are. Alien Ant Farm are definately a band to look out for in the future, why u ask? becuase they can realease an experimental album with loads of different styles on it and pull it off excellently, a brilliant album and a benchmark in modern rock.… Expand

    I love this CD! All the tracks are different, yet very good. I'm so happy that they remade "S.S. Recognize', that song is great. 'Glow' is probably the best song on the album, it's so cheeky!

    The album feels unfocused, and this time, Alien Ant Farm don't have a novelty hit up their sleeve. [Sep 2003, p.111]

    When they crank out catchy ditties on harmony-heavy cuts like "Drifting Apart," AAF sound like a bunch of old pros--old pros who are still having a blast.
