3rd Draft
(2005)		 Up in the Attic
(2006)

Up in the Attic is Alien Ant Farm's third album. The album is identical to 3rd Draft with the addition of one new track, and radio promo, "Forgive and Forget". It's considered a commercial flop in the U.S. due to the facts that there was little support for the album with no official single released ("Forgive and 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 and in its next week dropped to number 198 and fell off the next week.

The song "Around the Block" had a music video recently released, and is available on iTunes.

The album cover features references to songs of past albums, such as Pink Tea, Smooth Criminal, Movies, and S.S. Recognize.

[edit] 3rd Draft

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 2005 Tour.
