Hey! Album is the second album from Atlanta rock band Marvelous 3. The album was originally released independently in early 1998 on the band's own Marvelous Records imprint.
In mid-1998, the band was signed by Elektra Records and a repackaged, remixed (and overdubbed) and reshuffled version of the album was released on October 27, 1998. With attention generated by WNNX in Atlanta, the album's lead single "Freak of the Weak" carried the band into 1999, reaching #5 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, #23 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and #39 on the Airplay/Radio & Records chart. The band spent most of 1998 and 1999 on the road in support of the album, opening for bands such as Collective Soul and co-headlining a club tour with Friggin.
The original independent release, produced by lead singer/writer Butch Walker, includes three tracks, "Just Wanna Go Home" ,"Fastboat" and "Cold As Hell" that were dropped in favor of "Write It On Your Hand" and "Vampires In Love" on the official studio release on Elektra Records.
The video for the first single, "Freak Of The Week", was directed by hip hop video director Little X.
All songs written by Butch Walker
