Inspired by the success of this song, Filters first single from the next album, The Amalgamut (2002) took the catchier approach of "Take A Picture" and amped the guitars Up to Eleven, resulting in Where Do We Go From Here, which almost matched the previous singles success. Filter scored a huge Black Sheep Hit from this album in the more upbeat, acoustic-based Take A Picture, a song about Patrick drunkenly embarrassing himself on an airplane flight. After constructing his own studio, Abyssinian Son, and experiencing some financial setbacks, Richard Patrick decided to maintain the name Filter, reassembled his band, replaced Walker (who left to work with The Smashing Pumpkins) with new drummer Steve Gillis, and finally released Title Of Record in 1999. Recording sessions proved stressful, and the supporting band left out of frustration, briefly leaving Patrick alone.
Liesegang was not long for the group due to Creative Differences, and left the band after a string of soundtrack recordings recorded by Filter, which included a collaboration with The Crystal Method for (Cant You) Trip Like I Do (for the Spawn soundtrack) and a cover of Harry Nilssons One (for the The X-Files: Fight the Future soundtrack X-Files: The Album). Filter quickly assembled Geno Lenardo on lead guitar, Frank Cavanagh on bass, and Matt Walker on drums as a touring band. They recorded the album Short Bus in Chicago, which wound up spawning the hit single "Hey Man Nice Shot", which was written about the infamous public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer Budd Dwyer, although it was rumored to be also inspired by the suicide of Kurt Cobain, which the band denied. Patrick had recently left an early incarnation of Nine Inch Nails and, together with longtime friend Brian Liesegang, signed to Reprise Records in 1994 and rechristened themselves Filter. Filter are an American Industrial Metal band who formed in Cleveland, Ohio, by guitarist and vocalist Richard Patrick, brother of actor Robert Patrick.
