Greatest Hits is the debut studio album by American rock band Alien Ant Farm, released in 1999 through the bands own label "Chick Music Records". Despite it's name, it's not a compilation album, and was intended to be Tongue-in-cheek.[1]The album won best independent album at the 9th annual LA Music awards in 1999.[2] Most of the songs were reworked for Anthology and Truant.
The band was well known in the local scene, and after the release of the album, the band played numerous shows in California and in Europe;[3] They were well acquainted with fellow California band Papa Roach, and they were then the first signed to Papa Roach's "New Noize" label in 2000.[4] In 2005, the album was reissued with a thinner font.[5] Miguel Martinez, who mixed some this album, eventually committed suicide, and the track "Sleepwalker" from Up in the Attic was dedicated to his girlfriend.[6]
