Smash Mouth
Smash Mouth is the self-titled third studio album by rock band Smash Mouth, released in late 2001. It is notable in that it was their first album with new drummer Michael Urbano and its release was delayed a few months due to the death of lead vocalist Steve Harwell's son, Presley Scott Harwell. -Wikpipedia

This album is a huge disappointment. It is a bad pop album, and a bad album from what was once a promising band. There is no reason to buy this album, if you want the singles buy them or download them, but don't make my mistake and waste 15 dollars on this album.

People
Rebounds with renewed spirit on this decidedly upbeat collection. In addition to Smash Mouth’s terrific cover of the Monkees’ “I’m a Believer” (originally featured on the Shrek soundtrack but also included here), such numbers as “Holiday in My Head” and “The In Set” demonstrate the band’s engaging penchant for sharp hooks and ’60s psychedelia.

There are no new tricks here by any stretch (except the sub-Blur electronic piss-take "Keep It Down"), but it's all done sharply, melodically, and happily. If you've grooved on Smash Mouth's singles and want more of the same, this delivers reliably, which may be an unadorned pleasure for some and a guilty one for others.

It's easy to love them for the reason they got to that status: their effortless way of updating classic frat rock to sound breezy, hip, and fun, thanks to their healthy love of surf and new wave. They do this best on their singles, of course -- unless they're covering a straight-up oldies like the Monkees' "I'm a Believer," which is simply too predictable; they're much better when they're tackling Let's Active.
