Smash Mouth is the self titled third album by alternative rockers Smash Mouth released in late 2001. It was notable in that it was their first album with new drummer Michael Urbano and its release was delayed a few months due to the death of lead vocalist Steven Harwell's son, Presley Scott Harwell.
The San Jose, California rock band Smash Mouth held a contest on their website in the fall of 2000 to name their third album. The result was a two-way tie with the winning suggestion being to self-title the album. It was released in the summer of 2001 along with the single "Pacific Coast Party".
Several other tracks from the album were released, including "Holiday In My Head", which was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Clockstoppers, and "I'm a Believer", a cover of the classic by The Monkees which was featured in the movie Shrek.

[edit] Behind the scenes
At the end of "Disenchanted", you can hear the sound of something crashing to the ground. Here is the story: [1]
The deal is that they were recording Steve's vocal at Skywalker Sound in a huge room usually reserved for recording orchestras for movie soundtracks. At the end of the take, Steve accidentally knocked over the mic stand that was holding a very expensive vintage microphone (an old Neuman tube mic that does indeed cost thousands of dollars). Steve is trying to assure the producer and engineers that everything is cool - like he can fix it with duct tape. You can hear Greg laughing and cringing at the same time as Steve tries to shrug off the blunder. It was pretty funny at the time and I think the mic survived.
