Title of Record

Title of Record is the second studio album by American rock band Filter. Former Smashing Pumpkins bassist D'arcy Wretzky provided backing vocals on the track "Cancer" and is rumored to have also sang on "Take a Picture". Eric Remschneider, who had also contributed to The Smashing Pumpkins songs "Disarm", "Soma" and "The Bells", was also brought in to play cello on the opening track "Sand", "Take a Picture" and closing track "Miss Blue".

In May 2016 in an interview with Loudwire, Filter lead singer Richard Patrick spoke of a romantic relationship he had with Wretzky, saying she was the subject of a song he wrote called "Miss Blue", also on Title of Record. Wretzky and Patrick had known each other since at least 1996, when Filter opened up for The Smashing Pumpkins during the Infinite Sadness tour.

Title of Record was a critical and commercial success upon its release, peaking at number 30 on the US Billboard 200. It had sold over 800,000 copies by 2001 and was later certified platinum by the RIAA for shipments of over one million copies. "Take a Picture" became the band's most successful single, peaking within the top 20 of nine international charts, including the Billboard Hot 100. The album was featured as number 8 on Loudwire 's list of "15 Best Hard Rock Albums of 1999".
