Up in the Attic

Up in the Attic is the fourth studio album by American rock band Alien Ant Farm. The album is identical to 3rd Draft with the addition of one new track, and radio promo, "Forgive & Forget". It's considered a commercial flop in the U.S. because of little support for the album, no officially released single ("Forgive & Forget" was only released as a promo to radio and received little airplay), and no tour. The album debuted at number 114 on the Billboard 200, dropped to number 198 in its next week, and fell off completely in its third week.

3rd Draft
3rd Draft cover

3rd Draft is the name given by fans to Alien Ant Farm's third album. The naming relates to a piece of the artwork that says 3rd Draft; since then, the band has referred to the album by that name as well. Due to issues with Geffen, it was never commercially released. It was, however, made available by the band during the Alien Ant Farm Summer 2005 Tour.
