Crazy Town, released on November 12, 2002. The album peaked at No. 120 on the
''Billboard'' 200 and No. 164 in the UK. It sold less than 13,000 units in its first week.
Crazy Town stated they were not personally disappointed that the album did not sell as well as their last, ''
The Gift of Game'', considering they were moving the band in a new direction, away from the pop success they achieved with their number 1 song "
Butterfly".
Crazy Town broke up several months after the album's release, citing amongst other things including pressure from their record company for a "Butterfly" follow-up.
The second and final single, "Hurt You So Bad", features
Rivers Cuomo from
Weezer on the track's guitar solo.
