In the late 1990s, as skate culture surged and punk rock began to merge with hip-hop, Zebrahead found themselves at the forefront of this vibrant scene. Their second studio album, Waste of Mind, released in October 1998, captures the restless energy of youth during a time when alternative rock was evolving at a breakneck pace. The album not only marked their major label debut but also solidified their place in the hearts of fans who craved a sound that was both raw and playful.

One standout track, "Get Back," acts as a rallying cry for anyone feeling lost or disillusioned. Released as the lead single, it quickly garnered attention, peaking at number 32 on the US Hot Modern Rock Tracks charts. The infectious blend of punk and funk metal showcased Zebrahead's knack for creating catchy hooks while maintaining a rebellious edge. Its accompanying music video, along with radio play, contributed to its success, helping the band sell over 150,000 copies of the single in the United States alone.

Another notable track from the album is "Check," a song that resonates with the carefree spirit of the era. Featured in the beloved video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, it became an anthem for skaters everywhere, perfectly encapsulating the thrill of youth. The energetic riffs and playful lyrics invite listeners to let loose, reminding us all of the exhilarating moments that come with being young and daring.

As you dive into Waste of Mind, you’ll also encounter "Feel This Way," a track that highlights the band's ability to blend catchy melodies with a punk attitude. Released exclusively in Japan as the third single, it reflects the band's willingness to experiment with their sound while maintaining their core identity. Each song on the album serves as a snapshot of a generation, capturing the confusion, excitement, and angst that defined the late '90s.
