The Amalgamut
''The Amalgamut'' is the third studio album by American rock band Filter, released on July 30, 2002 by Reprise Records. Unlike their first two albums '' Short Bus'' (1995) and ''Title of Record'' (1999), which were both certified platinum, the album stalled prior to hitting 100,000 copies sold, in part due to frontman Richard Patrick cancelling its main tour in order to enter a rehab facility. The album still had two singles released in its promotion: "Where Do We Go from Here" and "American Cliché". ''The Amalgamut'' was the last album to feature band members Geno Lenardo, Frank Cavanagh, and Steve Gillis, with Patrick starting up the band Army of Anyone upon getting out of rehab. It was the last Filter album to be released until six years later, when Patrick reformed the band with new members and released 2008's ''Anthems for the Damned''.
