More Than Alot is the debut album by English drum and bass production duo Chase & Status. The album was released on 13 October 2008, and peaked at number 49 on the UK Albums Chart. The album was re-released on 4 June 2010 with bonus tracks as the "New Edition".

Background

The album debuted on the UK Albums Chart at #49 on 19 October 2008, and entered the UK Dance Albums Chart at #2 on the same week. The album was preceded by the release of the lead single, "Pieces" featuring vocals from rapper Plan B, on 29 September. On 5 October, "Pieces" peaked at #70 on the UK Singles Chart and at #1 on the UK Dance Chart. The album also includes a collaboration with British garage rapper Kano on "Against All Odds", which was later released as the album's second single. The track received considerable play time on the club scene throughout 2008. While the album maintains the duo's drum & bass roots, two tracks - "Eastern Jam" and "Running" - display the duo's ability to produce dubstep tracks with commercial success. "Eastern Jam" was later remixed to become a collaboration, featuring vocals from hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg, culminating in the single "Snoop Dogg Millionaire". On 4 July 2010, the album was re-released, with the addition of three new songs and a special tour video. The extra tracks included "Saxon", "Heartbeat" and "In Love". The album later went on to win the Best Album Award at the 2009 drum and bass awards.
