Having spent years on the road - playing just about every club and festival, licensing their music out to everything from video games to major blockbusters - the Crystal Method returned to record store shelves in 2001 with Tweekend, which saw the duo collaborating with heavyweights like Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello and Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland. Once again, new terrain was being explored, as the fences between rock, techno and soul were breathtakingly torn down.

In no time, the Crystal Method sold a million-and-a-half albums and became America's number one electronic band.

Instead of rushing back to the studio, however, the group prepared for Legion of Boom, by getting back to its roots. They worked every day from around noon to night, bringing in another eclectic list of collaborators and producing more memorable sessions. Roots rapper Rahzel spent the day at the Bomb Shelter composing the lyrics for "American Way," soaking up the TCM vibe before laying down his unique tracks.

The electricity is in the grooves. Legion of Boom is spontaneous, defiant, intense, loud and occasionally insane: It's exactly what people have come to expect from the Crystal Method.

Legion of Boom was nominated for a Grammy in 2005, in the "Best Electronica/ Dance Album" category.
