STUDIO ALBUM BY STRUNG OUT

Year Released: 2002

An American Paradox is the fourth album by American punk band Strung Out, released in 2002 by Fat Wreck Chords. The album was the band's first to debut on the Billboard 200. This is their first album with current bassist, Chris Aiken.

In August 2000, the band were shopping around different labels for their next album. Around this time, the band were writing a lot of material while on tour, with the aim of releasing an album in early 2001, which was reportedly titled American Paradox. Shortly afterwards, they toured the US and Canada with No Motiv in September 2000, and the US with Papa Roach in November 2000.

An American Paradox was recorded at Westbeach Recorders in Hollywood, California, with the band acting as producers. Donnell Cameron handled recording, with assistance from Chris Gresham and Mike Trujillo. Cameron mixed the album at Westbeach, before it was mastered by Eddie Schreyer at Oasis Mastering in Studio City, California.
