"Army of Anyone" was the debut and lone album by Army of Anyone, a American rock band featuring Richard Patrick of Filter, the DeLeo brothers from Stone Temple Pilots (Robert and Dean), and David Lee Roth's former drummer, Ray Luzier. The album was released on November 14, 2006 in America, December 4, 2006 in the UK. It was produced by Bob Ezrin (who has produced records for Pink Floyd and KISS) and mixed by Ken Andrews. "Army of Anyone" was considered a commercial failure (given the previous success of Stone Temple Pilots and Filter), selling less than 100,000 copies and debuting at #56 on the Billboard Top 200.

Trivia

* "A Better Place" was the first song written by the band. It was originally written for Filter's fourth album. However after recording the song at a home studio, Richard Patrick and the DeLeo brothers decided to form Army of Anyone.
* The iTunes bonus track "Used to Know Her" was a downloadable mp3 on the band's official website a while before the album's release. It was later removed from the website. The iTunes version cuts out abruptly at the 2 minute 59 seconds mark. Army of Anyone has since reposted it for download on their official website.
