Blackout, Hed PE's third studio album, came out on Jive on March 18, 2003, and it's the Huntington Beach crew putting their G-punk, that mash of gangsta rap and punk rock, through a hard-hitting, radio-sized wringer. M.C.U.D. barks and raps up front, Mawk's bass rumbles underneath, and Wes Geer's guitars grind like a freight train, with the band's reggae streak slinking in between the blasts.
The title track was the hit, cracking the mainstream and modern rock charts, and "Other Side" followed it onto the mainstream rock chart. The album opened at number 33 on the Billboard 200 with 28,000 copies in its first week, and "Get Away" turned up in EA Sports' NASCAR Thunder 2003. One oddity: Sonny Mayo is credited on guitar, but according to an interview with Good Company, he didn't actually play on it.
