3.2.1.

3.2.1. is the debut album of the band Zilch and was released on July 23, 1998. Unlike front man hide's earlier solo albums, 3.2.1. relies entirely on English lyrics, some of the tracks are re-recordings of songs that he had released solo (e.g. "Doubt", "Pose") or with his previous band, X Japan ("What's Up Mr. Jones?" being an alternate English version of "Drain"). Also "Easy Jesus" uses the music from the instrumental "Squeeze It!!" and "Inside The Pervert Mound" (which appeared on the Heavy Metal 2000 soundtrack) seems to be an English version of "Leather Face".
