wow. i forgot about these guys. I was a big fan of their first album and the second one kind of lost my interest fast.

[Roboman]

I'm kind of saddened that it's just their 3rd Draft album with "Forgive & Forget" added, as I was hoping for more new music, but it still kicks ass.

[HeadSock]

wow. i forgot about these guys. I was a big fan of their first album and the second one kind of lost my interest fast.

Basically, the same here. The second album did have a couple good songs like "Glow" and "These Days" and maybe on other, but the rest was pretty mediocore. I did love their video for "These Days" though. They crashed the BET Awards or something, and everyone was kind of like "WTF?"

Personally, I hope these guys bounce back. I do see they also have two new members. I was aware of one change, but after going to their myspace page (which is incorrectly linked here) I saw the second change.

[cahrishurr]

worssst band ever

[mattregan]

Movies = one of the best songs ever

This album rules hard, EASILY their best release to date.

[CLARIFY THIS]

Movies was a great song, I just wish someone else performed it.The vocals are terrible imo

[CircaEnder]

i have always loved these guys.. great cd.

[ASUFocker]

This cd is already available on ITunes. It's decent, along the lines of Truant, but a little heavier.

[Tony Pascarella]

This album rules hard, EASILY their best release to date.Just got it today, and I have yet to listen (also got a shitload of releases from Victory and one from Wind-Up today). So I'll definitely check it out later on.

- JeffDamn it. :)

[Slapstick93-96]

I saw them open for 311. They sucked. The lead singer was a dick, and he came into the crowd and bought drugs about 2 feet from me.

[badstarsfall]

What? No goofy title like Up To Our Old ANTics?

[rr_thecrowing]

Haha...I love these guys, too. It's gonna be a good record. I'm excited.

[_all_star_me_]

werent they on new noize records? is that now new doors?

i loved their first record.

..and it feels like the movies.

[coolroxy]

Can't wait for these guys to do some serious touring again . . . I haven't seen them in more than 4 years!

[ADreamToCrush]

Personally I thought truANT was much better than ANThology. So much more creativity and diversity on that album. I can't wait to see how this new album turned out though.

[volklaero]

TOO BAD THE CD IS TERRIBLE, why cant he sing worth a damn??

[taisalltherage]

yeah, this cd has been out for a minute. i've had it for like a year i think...called 3rd Draft....oh well...i dig it. this band doesn't suck..at least in my opinion.

[HungJury]

Movies = one of the best songs ever

I definitely agree!

[Ultragrrrl]

I thought "Movies" was a great song too, and the first album had some pretty good songs on it... i figured they kinda went into hiding cause the singer broke his neck or some shit.

[zizou1790]

garbage

[Ultragrrrl]

I also think the singer looks like a monkey.

[beggingthesky]

that sucks that tye and terry left. tye was a funny mofo on stage. anyone know what happened? and terry...powerman 5000?? you're better than that. prolly won't check this out. liked ANThology alot, but they kinda fizzled after that.

[loui]

is it just me or does the lead from ant sound just like the lead from spill canvas.....

[ThisIsNotDan]

i've had 3rd draft since december and even though they only added one song i think im gonna buy it

[WSUskee]

I thought they got dropped from their major label but maybe they were picked up again. I'm happy to see a return from these guys even though I dont expect much. Like everyone has said they had a good song in Movies and then it was like whats next. They did a small tour around here playing really small clubs, hell they even played the Tri Cities and they rarely get any shows.

[Roboman]

I think you mean "does the lead from spill canvas sound just like the lead from ant..."

Oh yeah, and I don't know what most of you people are talking about...every song from TruANT is amazing, and ANThology is really good too.

[Adeniz19]

i totally forgot about this band

[naphtha74]

'Around the Block' and 'Crickets' are truly amazing songs
everyone should check it out

[Bury Your Head]

holy crap they are still on a major? damn. thought theyd be dropped off the face of the earth

[julie]

AAF in Richmond June 17, 7:45pm at Tredegar Iron Works. GO!!!

[Sycro]

They are not on a major label. They are unsigned. However, the CD is being released by the parent company of Geffen, since they'd already put money into having it recorded.

And the CD was NOT called 3rd Draft. It is actually untitled. Some people got a copy of the CD, saw the words 3rd Draft written on it and took that as the name. It's simply part of the artwork of the CD.

[XxLoserDanxX]

i liked the 1st album, i didnt listen to the second one. if they have more songs like atitude and/or movies im all for it

Interesting...ah, well, now we have Up In the Attic.

They did some touring last fall. Im not sure if it was a complete nation wide tour though.

[HeadSock]

Thats where Terry went????

Wow talk about a change. I like 5000, I wont lie. And after going to their page that band has had a complete overhall over the years (more than once Id say).

edit: Ok, Im not sure about these new songs.

[Greg Thimmes]

Im not feelin this album, but hell my promo copy came with 60+ minute documentary and new videos! Also came with the first ever DVD.....did not know this band has 13 music videos.

[biztron2000]

what! they put out a second record

[elvis2x]

Anthology is one of the best albums I've heard. It's amazing.

Truant wasn't as good, but still great.

AAF is an excellent band.

[spooky2k]

Your secret's out.

...and the best part is it isn't even a good one. :P

[Rock]

it's just you.

[Rock]

They did some touring last fall. Im not sure if it was a complete nation wide tour though.
i was there. i was at the last show before the original line-up broke up. i didn't even know they were a band again until i saw they had a song i hadn't heard in the south by southwest mp3 collection.

[Sailor Tattoos]

i've always liekd this band very unique cool lyrics...glad to hear they are back

[lbc182]

i love the lead singers moves on stage. 13 videos? they could have not actually released these anywhere besides the dvd, right?

[FallOutBoyPunch]

They will always be underrated. It's unfortunate however, as ANThology was one of the records that kept me going when it came out, and TruANT had it's good qualities as well. Haven't listened to this one enough yet to decide if I love it or not.

[j011y]

terrible terrible band, no thanks

[catchmealone]

Did anyone see who took over for Tye on bass??
Alex Barreto from Chain of Strength, Inside Out, and Hard Stance!

What a fucking change.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

I loved the video where they played on top of a building across from where the BET awards was happending. Brillant.

Here it is.

I remember seeing these guys open up for Orgy way back when they were starting. That's when I was like AAF is going to blow up one day. Now I only need Orgy to put out another album!
