Alien Ant Farm, a modern rock band audacious enough to
title its debut indie record “Greatest Hits”, quickly found success in the
early 2000s. Their major label debut, “ANThology”, soared to #11, buoyed by
their kickass cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal”, which went to #23
on the Billboard Top 100. To this day, "Smooth Criminal" stands as the only charting single for this underrated band.
The band’s 2003 sophomore effort, “truANT”, would not
meet that level of success, largely due to folding of the record label. Solid
singles like “These Days” and “Glow” mustered considerable airplay, but many of
the other potential hits on this fine record went unheard.
One of the overlooked cuts includes “Drifting Apart”, a
song about the different directions people go. A very cool pre-chorus builds up
to a righteous chorus that will be stuck in your head all day.
