Living Well Is the Best Revenge is the second studio album by American rock band Midtown. Following the conclusion of the touring cycle of their debut album Save the World, Lose the Girl (2000), the group went to California to work on their next album. Sessions were held at Larrabee East, Los Angeles, California, and Media Vortex, Burbank, California with producer Mark Trombino. It followed the pop punk sound of their debut, and was compared to Good Charlotte and Fenix TX.
Preceded by two songs, and a supporting slot for Face to Face, Living Well Is the Best Revenge was released on Drive-Thru and MCA Records on April 16, 2002. It reached number 90 on the Billboard 200. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, many of which commented on the melodies and harmonies. A music video for "Like a Movie" was released the following month. Throughout the rest of the year, the group toured mainland Europe (as part of the Deconstruction Tour), the US (twice) and the UK.
