American Hi-Fi is the debut studio album by American rock band American Hi-Fi. It was released on February 27, 2001, by Island Records. Stacy Jones formed American Hi-Fi in 2000; later that year he went to Maui, Hawaii to record drums for Nina Gordon's debut solo album. The rest of American Hi-Fi joined Jones and recorded their debut album with producer Bob Rock at Planation Mixing and Recording. Described as a pop punk and power pop album, American Hi-Fi was compared to Blink-182, Foo Fighters, and Weezer.
"Flavor of the Weak" was released as the lead single in December 2000. Following the release of the album, American Hi-Fi toured with the likes of Eve 6, and Our Lady of Peace. "Another Perfect Day" was released as a single later in the year. Music videos were released for both of the songs.
American Hi-Fi received generally favorable reviews from music critics, many of whom praised the band's guitarwork. The album peaked at number 81 on the US Billboard 200, and number 83 in the UK. The album went on to sell over 750,000 copies that year. "Flavor of the Weak" charted on several Billboard radio charts, while "Another Perfect Day" appeared on one.
