The long anticipated Alien Ant Farm album is finally out - and you can listen to it below.
Their first album to be released since 2006 has been long awaited indeed - funded by fans via Pledge Music, the release date has been pushed back a couple of times due to various unforseen setbacks. In a message to fans and pledgers, the band said that what they've made are "Antfarm songs in Antfarm style."
"We write em for us and all of you. Not a label dude that’s hung up on how the kick sound from the new Flo-Rida song is gonna make us #1 (True story). So, please know, we are dredging through the very worse case scenarios any band could hope to avoid, on top of families, babies and health issues."

The band apologised via their facebook page to pledgers that the album is being streamed so that everyone gets to hear it at the same time, but said that ultimately 'it's a good thing that the album's streaming' (and we think so too). They will be sending out hundreds of signed copies of the CD to fans who made the album possible along with other rewards.
