"Another Animal" is the self-titled debut album by supergroup Another Animal. It was released on October 2, 2007.

History

During the writing sessions of "IV" by Godsmack, lead singer Sully Erna encountered writer's block so Tony Rombola, Shannon Larkin, and Robbie Merill (the musical section of the band) went to the studio and recorded music. After writing almost 40 songs, only 14 were used (Two being bonus songs). The left-over songs were then recycled by the members after they recruited Whitfield Crane of Ugly Kid Joe as well as Lee Richards, Godsmack's first guitarist, and Another Animal was born.

Sound

The music of the album sounds very much like that of "IV" but the vocals are very distinct and sounds nothing like Sully's. The album features very strong bass-lines and hard hitting drums. The album is predominantly heavier but includes a few softer songs, including "Broken Again" (Which is very Post-grunge sounding) and "Interlude" (which features acoustic guitars and a very Irish sound to it, showing off the bands heritage).
